SOME OMITTED DIAGNOSES. 
In Saccardo’s Sylloge the following species require correction : — 
Hebeloma psamminum, Sacc. Syll.3‘297, should be Inocybe psamminum , 
Berk. 
Hebeloma micropyramis, Sacc. Syll. 3269, should be Inocybe micro - 
pyramis, B & Br. 
Hebeloma ignobilis, Sacc. Syll. 3313, should be Inocybe ignobilis, 
Berk. 
Agaricus (Inocybe) holophlebius, Berk, in Herb. 
Pileo carnosulo, campanulato, expanso, late umbonato (3-6 c.m. 
diam.), floccoso-fibrilloso, cervino ; stipite pallido, farcto, cylin- 
drico, aequali (6 c.m. long, 4 m.m. thick) ; lamellis latis, adnatis, 
vix confertis, postice attenuatis, argillaceis, demum umbrinis ; 
sporis laevibus, ellipticis, 10x6 p. 
On the ground. Masulipatam, India. 
Marasmius ascophorus, Peck., has been omitted, as far as we can 
discover, from Saccardo’s Sylloge, without explanation. 
Thelephora griseozonata, Cke. Rav. Fun. Amer., No. 444. 
Caespitosa, mollis. Pileolis imbricatis, applanatis (1-2 in.) 
sericeo-strigosis, zonatis ; zonis cervinis, griseisque alternantibus, 
margine subfimbriato, badio, in stipitem sublateralem porrectis ; 
hymenioinferopurpureo-badio, rugoso; sporis subglobosis, asperulis, 
fuscis, 7-8 /x diam. 
Ad terram. S. Carolina. 
NEW SUB-GENUS OF AGARICUS. 
By M. C. Cooke. 
Hitherto no instance has been recorded in the Hyporrhodii of 
the occurrence of species analogous to Amanita in the possession 
of a volva and ring. That deficiency has at length been supplied, 
in Australian specimens of the missing link, and we do not hesi- 
tate to adopt the same principle which has been adopted in 
Leucospori, and whilst recognizing Volcaria as the analogue of 
Amamtopsis , constitute Metraria as the true analogue of Amanita. 
The specimens were accompanied oy drawings, so that an oppor- 
tunity may soon arrive for us to publish a coloured figure of this 
new addition to the subgenera of Agaricini. Whether it shall 
hold generic or subgeneric rank is a question which we do not care 
to discuss, and may be left to individual opinion. 
Sub-Gen. METRARIA. 
Universal veil at first continuous, distinct from the cuticle of 
the pileus, forming a volva at the base. Ring manifest. Spores 
pink. 
Analogous to Amanita.
