* Besides the above Nos. 88, 8 9 ,1 find a species ou the borders o f fir-woods
without the scent o f new meal, with the foUowing characters. Pileus umbonate,
dark red-brown, sometimes minutely squamulose, but scarcely streaked ;
stem solid at first, then hollow, mealy and white above, fibrillose below ; gills
emarginate, with a decurrent tooth. Further study will alone show whether
this is a distinct species.
