SPECIES NOT BEFORE REPORTED. 

 Carex littoralis Schw. 

 Wet places near Islip, Long Island. May. 



Volvaria Peckii Atk. n. sp. 



Pileus thin, convex, glabrous, viscid, finely striate on the mar- 

 gin, whitish ; lamellae rather close, thin, pale-flesh color ; stem 

 slightly tapering upward, glabrous, solid, whitish, with a loose, 

 well-developed membranous volva at the base; spores even, 

 subelliptical, .0003 to .0004 in. long, .0002 to .00024 broad y 

 usually containing a single large nucleus. 



Pileus about 3 in. broad ; stem 3 to 3.5 in. long, 3 to 4 lines 

 thick. 



Decaying wood. Ithaca. Sept. G. F. Atkinson. 



This species differs from V. speciosa in its striate margin and 

 smaller spores. It is probably very rare and but one specimen 

 is known to be in existence. 



Inocybe subtomentosa n. sp. 



Gregarious or subcaespitose ; pileus thin, dry, convex or plane, 

 minutely hairy-tomentose, brownish-tawny ; lamellae thin, close, 

 adnate, slightly emarginate, at first whitish, then tinged with 

 yellowish green, finally brownish-tawny ; stem short, solid, 

 slightly silky -fibrillose, colored like or a little paler than the 

 pileus, often with a conspicuous white mycelium at the base ; 

 spores subelliptical, .0003 to .0004 in. long, .0002 to .00024 broad. 



Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad ; stem about 1 in. long, 1 line thick. 



Gravelly soil among fallen leaves Rouses Point. Sept. 



This species differs from 1. tomentosa by its darker color, larger 

 spores and the entire absence of an umbo. Its prominent 

 features are its small size, minutely tomentose pileus and nearly 

 uniform brownish- tawny color when mature. The lamellae are 

 usually whitish and minutely crenulate or beaded on the edge. 

 The species appears to belong to the section Zacerce, although 

 the pileus scarcely shows any laceration, and even the tomentose 

 hairiness is hardly noticeable except on close inspection. It is 

 distinguished from /. fibrillosa by its solid merely fibrillose stem 

 and by the absence of scales on the disk of the pileus.
