Millbrook, Dutchess county. June. Fred. Thorne. 
The plants were in flower June 15th, about a month later than the 
time of flowering of the typical form of the species in the same 
locality. 
Tetraplodon mnioides L.f. 
Specimens of this rare moss were collected many years ago on the 
Catskill mountains by the late S. T. Olney. A sample of these 
specimens has been presented to the state herbarium by Mrs E. G. 
Britton. 
Lepiota arenicola Pk. 
This plant was discovered and published 10 years ago. It was 
found the second time in July of the present year, growing in sandy, 
soil near Gansevoort. These are fine specimens a little larger than 
the typical form. The species is apparently rare. 
Lactarius aquifluus brevissimus n. var. 
Pileus 1 to 1.5 in. broad, grayish buff; lemellae crowded, adnate, 
yellowish or cream color; stem very short, 6 to 8 lines long. 
Black mucky soil in roads in woods. Township 24, Franklin 
county. September. 
Plant fragrant; sometimes caespitose. 
Cantharellus brevipes Pk. 
Woods. North Elba. August. It sometimes grows in arcs of 
circles. This species is very rare. It was found 18 years ago, and 
since that time had not been seen by me till this summer. It has 
recently been found in Vermont also. 
Boletus chrysenteron Fr. 
The variability of this species is quite perplexing. Two forms 
occur near Gansevoort. In one the young pileus is red but it fades 
with age to a grayish buff. It has a persistently red and minutely 
scurfy stem. In the other the pileus is dark brown or olivaceous and 
the stem is pale red or yellow and red. In both, the flesh may be 
either yellow or whitish and the cracks in the pileus may be either 
red or pallid. In both, wounds assume a blue color. The flesh is 
sometimes whitish above and yellow next the tubes.
