 agaric, the a^riric nmmlouvier of p^a Marck. For the do- 

 meftic and furgical ufes to which it is applied, in different 

 parts of the continent of Europe, and the manner in which 

 it is prepared, fee the article Agaric, in Pharmacy. 51. 

 V). foiKcritar'uis. " Pores circular, equal; pileus white, con- 

 vex, thick at the edge, uneven." 



To thefe I..a Marck adds the agarirus qiierciniis of Lin- 

 nxus, and obferves, that it properly belongs to this fpecies ; 

 for tliouuh it has the appearance of gills, they are really 

 tubes with large mifliapea pores, which near the edge of the 

 pileus have a more regular form. Bulliard and Woodward 

 incline to the fame opinion ; and we ourfelves have already 

 fuggefted that it feems to conneft the agarici with the boleti.
