veil thick at length distance. Gills free, ventricose, remote, forming a well de¬ 
fined area around the top of the stem. The warts are not hard and rigid as in A. 
nitida, and the free remote gills separate it from that and the neighboring spec¬ 
ies. (Berk., Ann and Mag. Nat. Hist. Vol. 12, 2nd Ser. p. 418.)

earth; spores broadly elliptical, 7-10 me. long, odor distinct, chlorine-like. Plant 
15-18 cm. inches high, pileus 10-15 cm. broad, stem 3-5 cm. thick. (Peck, Bot. 
Gaz., Vol. 4, p. 137.)

lose, naked bulb at the base, mealy above. Bing above, reflexed, lacerate. Gills, 
close, white, attenuated and touching (the stipe). Pileus 9 cm. broad, obscure¬ 
ly umbonate, variegated with red and yellow. Warts yellowish, thinly spread.

nearly plane, generally bearing patches of the remains of the whitish felty or 
tomentose volva, elsewhere glabrous, becoming sulcate-striate on the margin, buff 
or orange-buff, flesh compact, white; lamellae close, reaching the stem, subven- 
tricose, pale cream color ; stem firm, at first tomentose and attenuated at the top, 
then nearly equal, stuffed, white or whitish, closely sheathed at the base by the 
thick volva; spores globose, 10-12 me. broad. Pileus 5-10 cm. broad; stem 7-10 
cm. long, 6-8 mm. thick. (Peck, Bull., Torr. Club. Vol. 22 p. 485.) 
Amanita ag’glutinata. White, pileus 2-5 cm broad, scaly from the remains 
of the volva, margin thin Stem 1-4 cm. high, 4 mm. thick, enlarged at the apex 
bulbous at the base, furnished with a volva whose margin is free. Ring wanting. 
Gills broad, ventricose, round and free behind. Spores white, elliptical. (Berk,

Amanita volvata. Pileus fleshy, convex, at length expanded, striate on 
the margin sprinkled with small lloccose scales, whitish, the disk pale brown ; 
lamellae close, free, white ; stem equal or slightly tapering upward, stuffed, min¬
