Other important diagnostic features, including taste, odour, moistness 
of fresh surfaces, and colour-changes attending stages of growth and 
wounding cannot be learned from the preserved specimens. Without 
notes on these characters the determination of some of the specimens 
could not be carried through to their species, but I believe they are correctly 
referred to their respective genera. 
The localities and dates are not repeated, as the plants were all collected 
near Amadjuak bay in the first week of August, 1926. 
Lyeoperdon gemmatum Fr. 
Two plants; not quite mature. Soldered stellate warts of peridium 
and minutely spinulate spores 4 y in diameter indicate the species named. 
Amanitopsis vaginata Fr. 
Var. livida Peck. Cap hemispheric; 5 cm. across. 
Amanitopsis vaginata Fr. 
Across the cape 2*4 cm. More tawny then the preceding; longer 
stem with fibrous sheathing. 
Hygrophorus sp. 
Five plants. Largest 2 cm. across. Depressed-umbilicate; gills long 
decurrent. Near Hygrophorus niveus Fr. or H. borealis Peck. 
Russula purpurina Quel and Schultz. 
This species is the most largely represented in the collection. The 
blood-red viscid cap, crenulate, floccose-edged gills, and other features 
make this very probably the species named. 
Russula sp. 
One plant; smaller than the preceding species; cap concave. 
Lactarius sp. 
Acuminate cystidia 75 to 90 mm. long; basidia up to 60 by S y with 
4 sterigmata up to 8 n long. Tomentose margined. Cap large, thick, 
convex; the largest plant in the collection. Near Lactarius controversus 
Fr. or L. torminosus Fr. 
Entoloma sericeum Fr. 
Dark, umber-brown. Cap 2*8 cm. Spores variable, mostly 6-sided. 
Hebeloma crustuliniforme Fr. 
Cap 3 cm. ; stem 6 by 0 * 6 cm. Probably a variety of the species named. 
Hebeloma sp. 
In the H. hiemale section of the genus. Cap 3*8 cm.; flesh thin. 
Gills wide in front. Spores 9 to 12 — 6 to 7 g. 
Hypholoma sp. 
Three plants. Cap and stem dark; both velutinous. Cap 2*7 cm., 
umbonate-expanded; gills sinuate-adnexed. In the H. velutinum section.
