with scattered, adnate patches or scales of a brownish-ochre, surface 
between the scales paler, 6-10 cm. across; flesh rather thick, white, 
not changing colour when broken. Gills white, remote, narrowed 
behind, rather crowded, thin. Stem 10-18 cm. long, about I cm. 
thick, cylindrical from an abruptly bulbous base, slightly tinged 
brown or ochraceous, with a few scattered, darker adnate patches or 
squamules, white and glabrous above the superior, free ring, fistulose. 
Spores 10 x 7-8u. 
On the ground, Littlehampton (G.M.); Ledbury (Rea). 
Closely allied to Lepzota procera, but distinguished by the very 
prominent subacute umbo, the pale stem with scattered patches of a 
darker colour, and the smaller spores. In JL. procera the stem is 
brown with crowded, concentric, whitish cracks, caused by the 
rupture of the brown cuticle, which becomes rigid before the stem 
ceases to increase in length, and is consequently cracked in an 
irregularly concentric manner. 
Omphalia Luffit Massee (sp. nov.). Pileus at first convex and 
more or less undulate, becoming depressed at the centre, extreme 
margin usually upturned, old ivory colour, white when dry, even, 
glabrous, 2-3 cm. across, flesh very thin, white; gills crowded, 
decurrent, thin, 2 mm. broad, pale wood colour, unchangeable ; 
spores elliptical, hyaline, smooth, 5 x 3u; stem 2-3 cm. long, 
2 mm. thick at the base, thickened at the apex, often crooked, solid, 
outside glabrous, polished, coloured like the gills. Smell fragrant, 
spicy. 
On the ground, gregarious. Guernsey (Luff). 
Smell spicy, resembling that of Ciitocybe fragrans, to which the 
present plant bears a superficial resemblance, but is readily distin- 
guished by the short cartilaginous polished stem and other features 
noted above. ; | 
Clitopilus Sarnicus Massee (sp. nov.) Gregarious; pileus cam- 
panulate then expanding until quite plane, subumbonate, often more 
or less depressed round the umbo, slightly striate when moist, even 
when dry, mouse-colour, paler with a ruddy tinge when dry, 
minutely silky-flocculose, 2-3 cm. across; flesh very thin. Gills 
rather crowded, 3-4 mm. broad, plane nearly up to the stem, then 
suddenly decurrent, pinkish salmon-colour. Spores nodulose, with 
an apiculus, 7-8 x 6m; cystidia absent. Stem 2-3 cm. long, 
2 mm. thick, equal, slightly flexuous, even, white, glabrous, minutely, 
fistulose, | | -
