THE FUE SEALS OP THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS. 



On exposed hillsides among Oladouias and other lichens; St. Paul Island, Septem- 

 ber 18, 1896. (J. M. Macoun.) 



This species is apparently related to R.falldx, from which it may be separated by 

 its darker colored pileus with its even margin and by its larger spores. Its numerous 

 conical-pointed cystidia project slightly from the edge of the lamellae. Having seen 

 only dry specimens, it is impossible to say whether the flavor of the fresh plant is mild 

 or aCrid. 

 Flammula fulvella, Pk. New speoieB. 



Pileus thin, convex or nearly plane, glabrous, subtawny, the margin deflexed or 

 incurved, flesh whitish; lamellae thin, subdistant, adnate or slightly decurrent, some- 

 what tawny, inclining to ochraceous- tawny; stem equal, solid, flbrillose or flbrillose- 

 squamulose, colored like the pileus; spores elliptical, 0.0005 inch long, 0.003 broad. 



Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad; stem about 1 inch long, 1.5 to 2 lines thick. 



Low ground, St. Paul Island, September, 1896. (J. M. Macoun.) 



Having seen dried specimens only, it is not possible to give the colors of the fresh 

 plant nor of the young lamellae. The plants are apparently closely gregarious in 

 mode of growth. It is possible that the pileus may be slightly viscid when fresh, but 

 this could not be satisfactorily ascertained, and therefore the tribe to which the species 

 belongs is uncertain.
