Pileus 1 iuch across, ochraceous, white, reniform, cónchate, consisting of three strata, of which the intermediate
one is white. Stem very short. Gills numerous, moderately broad, pale-ocliraceous. Spores pale-ochraceous,

Pileus 1 inch across, cream-coloured, conchiform, sessile, adnate behind. Flesh thick, brittle when diy ; margin
incm-ved. Gills narrow, pale. Spores leutiform, inch long.—This species is remarkable for the thickness
of its flesh, which is brittle when dry.

Hab. On dead bark, Archer. A larger form occurs on charred wood, approaching in size to A. hepatochrous,
Berk., and there is also a smaller form on decorticated wood.
Fileus 4~i incli across, reniform, cmnamon-brown, farinaceous, at length fixed behind to the matrix, and resupinate.
Slem very short and slender, white, tomentose. Gills moderately broad, cinnamon. Spores subcymbiform,
hollowed out on one side, as is the case in most Agarics.— This species is closely allied to A. hepatochrous, which is
a larger species, with a stout stem.

Sessile, fixed at the veitex by a few delicate white threads, \ inch across, whitish, tomentose. Gills ventricose,
umber, with a pale edge. Spores broadly elliptic, almost orbicular when seen from behind, inch broad. This
is veiy nearly allied to A. cassiæcolor, but differs in colour, and is absolutely stemless.

Distinguished from Agaricus by their deliquescent gills, and from Bolbitius principally hy their habit, and
black, not coloured spores. Tlie species appear to be rare in Tasmania, though there is a trace, in the collections,
of one or two besides the common C. stercoreus. (Name from uowpos, dung.)

species are extremely uumerous ; one oftly appears to occm- iu Tasmauia. (Name from cortina, a veil.)

H a b . Oh tbe ground : Cheshunt, April, 1856, Archer. (T a b . CLXXXI. Fig. 7.)
Pileus convex, fleshy, minutely rivuloso, viscid, smooth, of a browmish violet. Flesh pallid, tinted near the
gOls «ith violet. Stem stout, equal, obtuse, 1 inch thick, viscid, violet, hollow above. Veil viscid. Gills moderately
broad, adnate, subdecurrent, pale clay-coloured, shghtly tinted witb violet. Spoi-es obliquely ovate, rather
elongatcd, .5-5%- inch long, aud half as broad ; sometimes however they are much longer,—This species is evidently
closely allied to C. elatus, but the stout equal stem, thicker flesh, etc., distinguish it. The drawing exhibits merely
tbe young imexpanded plant, and tbe single specimen is crideiitly that which was designed. In consequence of the
upper part of the stem being hollow, the stem in tlie dried plant appears bulbous.—P la t e CLXXXI. Fig. 7 ;

No certain specimen of tbe genus Eygrophorus appears in the collections, but there is a doubtful species, resembling
II. cossus, aud a drawing of a minute species with a solid stem, apparently allied to the small form of
li. minialus.

Trama vesiculosa. Lamellæ lactescentes.
A genus containing many species, distinguished fr’om others, except Uussula, by the vesiculose trama, and from
that by tlio inüky giüs. The spores are often, but not always, globose and echinulate. Tlie Tasmanian species
appear to be rare, I have seen only one besides tbat described, but unfortunately indeterminable. (Name from
lac, milk.)
