Amanita magnivelaris Peck, Ann. Rep. N. Y. State Mus. 50: 
96. 1897. Described from Port Jefferson, New York, and 
said by the author to differ from Amanita vcrna in its large, per- 
sistent annulus ; its elongate, downwardly tapering bulb; and espe- 
cially in its ellipsoid spores. 
Amanita submaciilata Peck, Bull. Torrey Club 27: 609. 1900. 
Known only from a single specimen, accompanied by a sketch, 
sent to Dr. Peck from North Carolina by Miss Wilson, who, pro- 
nouncing it edible, must have collected more than one sporophore. 
If it had not been pronounced edible, I should be incline-d to 
classify it as a dark-centered form of V enenarins phalloides, in 
which most of the volva had been carried up on the surface of the 
cap. The type is sterile, and further field study of the plant is 
highly desirable. 
European Species Reported in America 
A number of names are current in America that evidently apply 
only to European species. Some of these may turn out to be 
European varieties of species common to both countries. 
Agaricus excelsus Fries, Syst. Myc. i; 17. 1821 
This is not distinct from Amanita anipla Pers., according to 
Boudier. 
Venenarius junquilleus (Quel.) 
Amanita junquillea Quel. Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. 23; 324. pi. j. /. 10. 
1876. 
It is the opinion of some mycologists that this is not distinct 
from V enenarins rnssuloides. 
Agaricus nitidus Fries, Obs. Myc. i : 4. 1815 
A mixture of Amanita citrina alba Pers. and Agaricus strobili- 
formis Vitt., according to Boudier. 
Venenarius pantherinus (DC.) 
Agaricus maculatus Schaeff. Fung. Bav. 4: 39. pi. go. 1774- Not 
Agaricus maculatus Scop. 1772. 
Agaricus pantherinus DC. FI. Fr. 6: 52. 1815.
