tops of walls about Paris and London, in the winter or 

 fpring. It may eafily be overlooked for fome common 

 unexpanded Agaric. The Jlalk is an inch and a half high, 

 cylindrical, not quite ftraight, of a hght brown, or ftone- 

 colour, fixed by fibrous annual roots. Head glohoie, fmooth,

 — Stalk fcaly, hollow, with a central thread. Orifice pro- 

 minent, tubular. — Found by Micheli, on banks near Flo- 

 rence. Mr. Sowerby received his fpecimens from Norfolk, 

 by favour of the Rev. Dr. Sutton. Bulliard feems to have 

 gathered his in France. We prefume this muft be a diftinft 

 fpecies, well marked by the above charafters. 



3. T . giganteum. Great Stalked-PufF-ball Stalk woody, 



clothed with upright fcales. — Gathered at Owhyhee, by 

 Mr. Archibald Menzies. Mr. Sowerby fays this is " a 

 gigantic reprefentation, as it were," of the common kind, 

 the^ali being twice as long, and four times as thick, more 

 woody, and fometimes truly fquamofe, the fquamn pointing 

 upwards. The fize of the head is in proportion. We know 

 this fungus only from Mr. Sowerby's incidental account, 

 but have no doubt of its being a diftinft fpecies, in which 

 more particular inveftigation might difcover more decifive 

 charafters ; and on this account we record it here.

TULP, Nicholas, in Biography, an eminent phyfician, 

 was the fon of an opulent merchant, and born at 

 Amfterdara in 1593. Having ftudied and graduated at 

 Leyden, he fettled in his native city, and rofe to a high 

 rank, not only in his profeflion, but as a citizen. Under 



the latter denomination he was diftinguifhed by the high 

 pofts which he occupied, and by the fervices which he ren- 

 dered to his country. As burgomailer, to which ftation he 

 was advanced in 1652, he refilled the invafion of Holland 

 by Lewis XIV. in 1672, and thus faved his country' ; on 

 which occafion a medal was ftruck to his honour with this 

 motto, from the jEneid, " Vires ultra fortemque feneftae." 

 Having completed his 80th year, he died in 1674. Tulp's 

 " Obfervationum Medicarum Libri tres," 1642, i2mo. have 

 been feveral times reprinted, and contain many valuable 

 phyfiological remarks. He is faid to have been among 

 the firft who obierved the lafteal veffels. Haller. Eloy.
