the centre, form striae on the pileus. The stem under a high mag- 
nifier is often streaked with veins like the pileus. 
* 48. Ag. mitis, Pers. Syn. p. 481. Abundantly on branches of 
larch, lying on the ground in Sherwood Forest, October 1836. Up- 
per stratum gelatinous. 
49. Ag. cyphelltformis, n. s. On the lower part of a dead plant 
of Pentstemon ovatum. Milton, Northamptonshire, October 1836. 
Apparently closely allied to no described species. Gregarious. Pi- 
leus 2 lines or more broad and high, altogether stemless, cup-shap- 
ed, hanging down, cinereous, very minutely strigose, especially at 
the base ; margin paler, sprinkled with a few meal-like scales. Up- 
per stratum gelatinous cinereous, beneath which the flesh is white 
and very thin. Gills pure white, rather distant, the alternate ones 
shorter, narrow, linear.

section, also magnified. 
* 49. Ag. cinnamomeus. d. croceus, Fr. Syst. Myc. V. i. p. 229. 
In a beech wood, King's Cliffe. The figure of Batsch A. squa- 
mulosus, f. 1 17, exactly represents my plant, which belongs to a va- 
riety apparently not before observed in this country. 
50. Thelephora spadicea, Fr. El, V. i. p. 176. On oak stumps, 
not uncommon in Northamptonshire. Easily known from every state 
of Thel. purpurea by its becoming blood-stained when scratched. 
I suspect that Sowerby had this species in his eye when illustrating 
his Auricularia tabacina, if indeed his plant be not altogether iden- 
tical with it. Sporidia copious, pure white, oblong-elliptic. 
* 51. Phlebia vaga, Fr. Syst. Myc, V. i. p. 428. El. i. p. 155 
On a decaying fallen branch, King's Cliffe. It is also noted as Bri- 
tish by Loudon. Nothing can be more exact than the description 
given by Fries in his Elenchus. 
52. Clavaria juncea, Fr. var. /3 vivipara, Fr. Syst. Myc. V. i. 
p 479. A. fistulosa, Bull. t. 463, H Amongst oak leaves, King's 
Cliffe. My plant is precisely what is figured by Bulliard, but I 
cannot help suspecting that it is an unusually luxuriant form of Ty- 
phula phacorhiza. 
53. Sclerotium truncorum, Fr. Syst. Myc. V. ii. p. 252 In vari- 
ous places in Northamptonshire, amongst moss on old stumps, ge- 
nerally forming the matrix of Ag. tuberosus. 
54. Spkceria cornicola, Fr. Syst. Myc. p. 530. On leaves of 
Cornus sanguinea, King's Cliffe.
