210 NEW PUBLICATIONS.
Tab. 34. A. sanguineus, Bull. Some red-topped Rnssida or " Ked
Stmpl-gilled Agaric," as the benighted English are said to call it.
Tab. 25. Russula emetlca. Russula is here elevated to its proper
place, it is however ignored in Tab. 24, and in all the plates of Riissidre
following the next Tab.
Tab. 26. R. furcatn, Pers. Dr, Valenti-Serini is right for once;
he was determined that the gills of his figures should bear out the spe-
cific name.
Tab. 27. Agaricusfoetens, De Cand. We have never seen the common
Russula anything like this figure, where it is sliown suow-white
and of great size like Lactarius vellereus, Pr.
Tab. 28. Fig. 1. A. acrls, De Cand. The pileus of Lactarius acris,
Fr., is intense umber, here it is snow-white j the sienna-coloured milk is
also shown white.—Fig. 2. A. controversies, P. Totally unlike Lacta-
rius controversiis. P., the white gills are shown full-burnt sienna, and
the pileus is shown perfectly white.
Tab. 29. Fig. 1. A. necator, Bull. A caricature of Lactarius
torminosus, F.—Fig. 3. A. pgrogalus, Bull. Bad representation of
Lactarius pyrogalus, Fr.—Fig. 4. A. theiogalus, liw\\.=. Lactarius theio-
galus (?).—Fig. 5. A. azonites, Bull. Marked with strong zones (!).
Tab. 30. A, deliciosus, P. Highly amusing representations of this
fine Lactarius.
Tab. 31. A. iirens, P. As much uidike Marasmius urem, Fr., as
the other species are uidike their originals (stem spotted with crimson-
lake!).
Tab. 32. Fungus aureus cgathlformis (?).
Tab. 33. Figs. 1, 2, 3. Agaricus eburneus, Bull. Poor representa-
tions of Hygrophori (?).
Tab. 34. A. tuhcoformis (?).
Tab. 35. A. olearius (?,). Exactly the same with Tab. 32.
Tab. 36. A. uliuarius, feull. Bad figure.
Tab. 37. A. stypticus, DC. Totally unlike Panus stypticus, Fr.
Tab. 38. " Prataioli sospetti." Varieties of Agaricus cavipestris, L.
— It is very amusing to observe that Dr. Valenti-Serini^ is ^uite unaware
of the scientific name of the species shown in seven figures on
this plate ; the descriptions of the figures are trivial in the extreme.
Tab. 39. Agaricus Jicoides, Bull. An absurd representation of Hy-
grophorus pratensis, Fr., or " lleddish Flied Agaric," as we are said
to call it.
