St. depilata, which were sketched at the time. The sketches 
show that depilata has somtimes a distinctly hollow stem. 
Eypholoma lacrymabundum Fr. is a species which has proved a 
terrible stumbling block to British Mycologists. It is not a very 
common species and what generally goes by the name Jacrymab- 
undum is the next species H. velutinum. Messrs, Berkeley, 
Broome, Smith, Cooke, Phillips, and myself have all come hopelessly 
to grief about it. For some reason or other Mr. Berkeley named 
some specimens exhibited at South Kensington in 1873 as well as 
others from Cved coach and Ascot, A. storea regardless of the 
fact that they were densely czespitose while storea is always solitary. 
We all of us followed Berkeley without hesitation “until the 
publication of “ Fries Icones ” when the Rev. Dr, Keith immediately 
recognised our so-called storea to be the true lacrymabundum. In 1888 
I showed specimens to Dr. Robert Fries, of Gottenburg, who 
unhesitatingly pronounced them to be Hf. lacrymabundum. So 
deeply has the name storea got hold of the English mind that 
Mr. W. G. Smith in looking over some sketches of mine three 
years ago marked one of this plant H. sterea. The figure in the 
Illustration 543 is H. lacrymabundum as is also J. hypoxanthus

Cortinarius (Phlegmacium ) triumphans Fr. One of the best figures 
in Cooke’s “Tllustrations ” is pl. 703 from one of Dr. Bull’s 
sketches, [tsa weil known plant but by a curious accident js 
wrongly referred to C, saginus—an accident which arose from no 
fault of the author. In 1888 gathered the fungus figured near 
Gottenburg with Fries’s son, Dr. Robert Fries, who unhesitatingly 
- Pronounced it C. triumphans, 
species this may eventually prove is very common round Hereford 
and elsewhere in England. It has nothing to do with the plant the 
French Mycologists regard as C. torvus nor do Fries’ figures in the 
Lactarius exsuccus Smith, This fungus is well known in this 
Country, and was at one time regarded as a variety of L. vellereus. 
ycologists in France as well as in Sweden, however, do not consider 
this to be a Lactarius at all but the Russula delica of Fries. 
Lactarius theiogalus Fr. This is a common Lactarius but one 
which js easily overlooked, There is no good figure of it. Itisa
