94 THE AMERICAN BOTANIST. 
It is Hypholoma riigoccphahuii. The regose markings on the cap 
(like the rivers on a. map) only raised and the reddish brown col- 
or, shining like varnish, mark it distinctly. I saw it often during 
the season. 
I found at least four new species of Inocyhe. I . riuiosa 
so called from the margin splitting up, /. astcrospora from the 
star-like shape of the spores, /. entheloides (which I suppose is al- 
most the same as /. ciitJiclcs, so called from its prominent umbo, 
/. geophylla of which there is a good picture given in Stevenson, 
page 252. This latter is of a white or greyish color and the cap 
only measures half an inch across. It is named geophylla from 
the earthy color of the gills which are at first grey and then earth 
color. It is an interesting little mushroom, with its conical cap 
and prominent umbo or rather papilla. We became cjuite fami- 
liar with it. 
IMarasmius is the genus of which we found the greatest num- 
ber of new species. There were five or more new to me. One 
of these M. resmosa seemed to puzzle every one. I finally sent it 
to Prof. Peck and he wrote to me about it. He had at first named 
it M. dccurrcns, but finding that name appropriated, called it M. 
resinosa. ]Mr. Lloyd forwarded the specimens I sent him to Prof. 
Beardslee, as the latter is writing upon the genus Marasmius and 
I believe is glad to get specimens and reports of any new species. 
I sent over two hundred specimens to Mr. J. B. Ellis, as he wish- 
ed to use them for Fungi Columbiani as w^ell as three hundred 
specimens of earth-tongues, Gcoglossum glabrum for the same 
work. The Marasmius grew on dead leaves in the woods. It 
was pure waxy white, unlike so many that have the stems black or 
dark color. The gills, too, were truly decurrent. The young ones 
Avere campanulate shaped but the caps expanded as they grew and 
a little umbo was formed, distinctly marked and giving it the ap- 
pearance of a derby hat with a narrow brim and round crown. It 
revived beautifully when placed in water. The fact that Maras- 
mhis will revive when moistened, makes it easy to keep the 
plants, and it is the best genus we have, since the specimens can be 
kept without drying up beyond recognition. 
I must not admit to mention the prettiest small mushroom next
