LACTARIUS EXSUCCUS AND AGARICUS RUSSULA.

else Hygrophorus erubescens, for he has evidently “ got mixed,” 
as people are apt to do when in the company of congenial 
friends late in the day. For Agaricus russula we would refer 
to Schaeffer’s plate 58, which is the type, and Krombholz’s 
plate 63, figs. 1 to 9 ; our own figures will be published in a 
supplementary part of “ Illustrations ” very shortly. 
Without setting up any claim to infallibility, we ask for a sus- 
pension of judgment until we have completed our evidence b} r 
the publication of figures, and then, if the verdict of competent 
authorities should be pronounced that the “ editorial we ” in this 
instance is only a stupid Englishman, we shall not regret that 
we have hardly been so dogmatic as some people, in face of a 
possibility of mistake, but quietly submit to our fate, without 
undertaking in the “ correction of one’s errors even to go as far 
as Paris to do so.”
