Species Imperfectly Described. 
Coprinus marculentus, Britz., Hym. Sudb. ix, p. 33. 
Coprinus pseudo-nycthemerus, Britz., Hym. Sudb. ix, 
P- I 3 -

Excluded Species. 
Coprinus pulchrifolius , Peck, 29th Report N. York State Mus. p. 41. 
Gills cinnamon, then brown at maturity, and not deliquescent, 
exclude this species from the genus Coprinus , and at the same time 
suggest the genus Bolbitius . 
Coprinus Lamottei , Gill., Champ. France, p. 603. 
The gills remaining dry, and the brown spores are not in accordance 
with the conception of the genus Coprinus. 
Coprinus solifugus , March., in Fries, Hym. Eur. p. 333. 
Excluded on account of the yellowish somewhat decurrent gills. 
Coprinus setulosus, B. and Br., Journ. Linn. Soc. Vol. xi, p. 561. 
The type-specimens are immature, and the gills white, hence there 
is no evidence that the species is a Coprinus. The name should be 
entirely dropped.
