Volvaria pubescentipes. Pileus convex, dry, white, clothed with min¬ 
ute hairy squamulose or reflexed fibrils, fimbriate on the margin ; lamellae (“lose, 
free, white, then flesh colored, sometimes minutely serrated or eroded on the edge; 
stem slender, subequal, pubescent ; volva subappressed, white; spores elliptical, 
(i-7 me. long, usually containing a single nucleus. Plant about 2 cm. long, pileus 
1-2 cm. broad, stem 2 mm. thick. (Peck, 29th Report.) 
Volvaria volvacea. (Stevenson p. 183. Fries Epic., p. 182.) 
Volvaria Taylorii. (Stevenson p. 184. Fries Epic., p. 183.) 
Volvaria emendatior. Pileus 7 cm. across, flat, with an obtuse umbo, 
smooth white; margin thin striate; stem 7 cm. high, 8 mm. thick, slightly incras- 
sated above and below, very slightly arachnoid-fibrous, solid, volva forming 
merely a rim; gills ventricose, remote, free and rounded behind, white, atlength 
flesh colored, extending in front beyond the ragged margin of the pileus as in 
Montagnites. Spores broadly cymbiform, 5 me. long. Smell disagreeable but 
not strong. In the northern State the pileus is areolate. On rich garden soil.

Volvaria viscosa. Pileus fleshy, campanulat°-convex, smooth, very vis¬ 
cous, fulvous-ochraceous; stipe prominently bulbous, nearly equal above, solid, 
smooth, ochraceous; volva ample, lobed, concolorous; lamellae touching, brown; 
spores ovoid-ellipsoid, dilutely flesh colored, with a large nucleus, 8-5 me. Pileus 
0 cm wide; stipe 6 cm. long, at base H cm. wide, above £ cm. (Clements Botan¬ 
ical Survey of Nebraska, No. 2 )

APPENDIX II. 
CORRECTION. 
Under Chitonia it was stated in first part of this work that no 
species had been recorded from the United States. We have -since learned 
that Clements has described a new species under the generic name 
Clarkeinda, and it was overlooked from that fact. 1 do not approve 
at all of the application of the Rochester rules to cryptogams. It would 
result in an endless confusion in regard to nomenclature and retard the 
study fifty years. The Lord knows we have enough troubles to contend 
with now without adding new and needless ones. 
Chitonia plana. Pileus carnose, applanate, exactly plane, 
even, glabrous, ochraceous, or slightly fulvous; stipe short, stout, solid, 
attenuate above, fibrillose-squamulose, becoming fulvous; volva ample, 
adpressed, membranaceous; lamellae free, ventricose, crowded, black- 
cinnamon-colored ; spores short ellipsoid, or globose, uniguttate, purple- 
fulvous, 4-6x6-6 me. Pileus 7 cm. wide; stipe 3 cm. high, 2 cm. thick. On 
manured ground. Described by Clements in recent number of Bot. Serv. 
of Neb., IV., p. 23.
