T h is species, which appears to he quite distinct, approaches A . granulosus
on th e one side, and A . acutesquamosus on th e other, b u t is n earer to
th e la tte r th a n th e former. T h e spores of A . granulosus are slightly larger,
tliose of A . acutesquamosus are ra th e r longer and at th e same time narrower.

Gills separating from the stem; taste in s ip id ; spores -00018" x -0001"
in our specimens, whilst th e sqiores of our A . granulosus measure -00013" x
00015", and A . acutesquamosus -00033" x -0001". We are indebted to the
courtesy of the Eev. AI. J . Berkeley for tlie opportunity of figuring th is
