UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OFFICE OF THE REGENTS, TRUSTEES OF THE STATE | MUSEUM OF N ATURAL History, r ALBANY, January 12, 1883. j To the Legislature : I have the honor to transmit the Thirty-sixth Annual Report of the Trustees of the State Museum of Natural History, as required by law. H. R. PIERSON, Chancellor of the University. REPORT. To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New York: The Regents of the University, as Trustees of the State Museum of Natural History, in accordance with the provisions of law, respectfully submit their Thirty-sixth Annual Report. For a full account of the operations of the Museum for the past year the Trustees beg to refer to the reports of the Director and the State Botanist, which are herewith transmitted. Owing to the crowded condition of the Museum building the in- crease of the collections has been made a secondary matter during the past year. The labors of the assistants have been chiefly expended in preparing specimens for exhibition, and in other ways giving to the collections their greatest scientific value. Whenever the State shall provide the much-needed additional room ‘a great expansion in the number and variety of the specimens can at once be made. More than 50,000 specimens belonging to the State now in charge of the State Geologist only await space to be transferred to the State Museum. The want ofa fire-proof receptacle for these vast and in- valuable collections is each year more plainly felt by the Trustees. During the last year one of the largest and most valuable collections in natural history in the country, that of Amherst College, was totally | destroyed by fire, owing to the want of a fire-proof building. The work of the scientific staff in the Museum has been prosecuted with great assiduity and success during the past year. The scientific papers of the members of the staff which have been published in the annual reports of the Legislature have been of great interest to scien- tific men, and applications for them are received from all parts of the world. It is earnestly recommended that the means to continue these publications may be afforded. In past years there has been much ir- regularity in the publication of the reports and much disappointment in consequence has been occasioned. There would be a great advan- tage in a plan by which the scientific reports of the Museum could be 8 ; THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT. printed under the direction of the Museum staff, instead of forming a part of the public printing. But as this would entail a considerable additional expense to the Museum it could only be done by an increase of the annual appropriation for its support. The work of distributing collections of minerals among the acade- mies of the State, under the authority of a concurrent resolution of the Legislature, has been carried out as fully as seemed to be called for. It has been the policy of the Trustees to give these collections only in cases where there was encouragement to believe that they would be a welcome and a useful addition to the educational equipments of the institution. The Trustees earnestly desire to see the Museum become a great center of educational influence for the State. With this view they seek to devise ways for aiding teachers of science in the institu- tions of learning throughout the State. They would gladly see the Museum used by them for study, and the staff of the Museum em ployed in aiding these students in fitting themselves for science teachers. Respectfully submitted, David MURRAY, H. &.,. PIERSON, Secretary. Chancellor of the University. ey: . Ex Seen er Tt in aaa Sl el REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. ALBANY, December 23, 1882. To the Honorable the Board of Iegents of the University of the Slate of New York: GENTLEMEN — I have the honor to communicate herewith the An- — nual Report upon the State Museum of Natural History, with some general account of the condition of the collections in the several de- partments, the additions which have been made thereto, and the work done in the institution during the past year. The collections of the State Museum are all in good order eas con- dition; and, so far as our facilities permit, are arranged for exhibition to the taalbiien It is, however, impossible to extend these facilities very greatly for want of space in the building. Some additional table cases have been added during the past year, taking the place of a small working-room which had been separated from one of the public _ halls. During the past month the collections of birds, mammals and skele- tons have been removed and carefully cleaned and examined, and re- placed in their cases in good order. ‘That portion of the ethnological collection upon the same floor has likewise received careful attention and the perishable portions have been treated in the same manner as the stuffed skins of birds, etc., in order to insure their preservation. All the aleqholic collections have likewise been examined and put in proper order. ‘The small collections of Radiates and Echinoderms have been examined and rearranged in the cases, with additional speci- mens of corals obtained during the past year. The work of dusting and cleaning the conchological collection is now in progress, and this will be followed by the cleaning and rearrangement of the minera- logical collection. It has been impossible to accomplish the proposed plan of present- ing a systematic catalogue of the birds and mammals of the State, as intended ; this work is, however, only deferred to a more favorable opportunity. A catalogue of the Unionide of the several collections in the State [Sen. Doc. No. 53. | 2 10 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Museum was presented with the thirty-third report, but this is not yet printed. A catalogue of the land shells of the New York State col- lection, and of the land shells of the United States, in the State Mu- seum, also of the Corbiculide of the New York State collections, were communicated at the same time, together with other important papers, which still remain in the hands of the State printer. It is already well known to your honorable board (though perhaps not so well known to the general public) that copies of these reports, beyond the usual docu- ment edition, are printed only by special order of the Legislature ; and as no resolutions to this effect were passed for the printing of the~ thirty-second and thirty-third reports, they were, consequently, only published among the legislative documents. The same conditions have prevented the proper publication of the thirty-fourth report. In consequence of this state of affairs, the appendices in part, and most of the scientific papers have been withdrawn, and were commu- nicated with the thirty-fifth report. Two papers have been published in full or in abstract, through other channels. The thirty-fifth report is now in the hands of the State printer, and some progress has been made in the work. This condition of the printing renders the working of the Museum extremely inconvenient and unsatisfactory; while it is very discour- aging to all connected with the institution to have no printed evidence of work done during several preceding years. Another serious cause of delay and hindrance in every department of the work of the Museum. is the unsettled and uncertain tenure by which we hold and occupy our working rooms. With the return of each successive Legislature the permanency of any existing plans or arrangement is threatened, and consequently it is impossible to carry out any systematic disposi- tion of the material preparatory to working, or any final arrangement of that which has been studied and published, and which has become a part of the permanent collection of the Museum. Not, only does this uncertainty hinder the progress of work, but often renders it neces- sary to do over again work which has been done in a temporary or tentative manner. The evil arising from all this is greater than can be expressed, and the final influences must reach beyond the present, for each succeeding year renders it more and more difficult to bring up the unfinished work of the past. It affects not only the actual col- lections, it affects every thing connected with the working of the insti- tution, and modifies every report and its appended scientific papers. It affects in a greater or less degree every one connected with the work. There is a consciousness that the conditions which exist are unfavor- able; and we cannot avoid the belief that a portion of the intel- STATE Museum oF NATURAL HISTORY. in} ligent public appreciate this state of affairs, and see the unfortunate influence on the results of the Museum work. The additions to the Museum coilections-during the year 1882 will be found recorded in detail in the lists appended. In the Botanical Department there have been nineteen contributors of an aggregate of 285 species. In the Zodlogical Department there have been added to the arranged collections specimens from six sources. The whale skeleton, purchased nearly two years since, has been in the custody of Professor Ward, of Rochester, for maceration and prepa- ration. We had expected to have it delivered at the Museum about the end of this year, but I am just now informed that it will not be ready before March next. The Museum Library has received the addition of 103 books and pamphlets by donation, and thirty publications by purchase and ex- change. To the collections in mineralogy, geology and paleontology, there have been added by donations from eleven contributors 72 specimens, besides the collections made by persons connected with the Museum, which are for the most part, from necessity, packed in boxes. THE CURRENT WoRK OF THE MUSEUM. The accompanying report of the Botanist, Mr. C. H. Peck, will give an account of the work in his department, and the addition to the herbarium of 142 species of plants, of which 68 are new to this collec- tion. On the second floor of the Museum, a collection of fungi is arranged for public inspection. The Unionide and other fresh-water shells, with numerous sections of the same, referred to ina former report as the work of Mr. Geo. B. Simpson, has been in part arranged in cases, and the collectivn is in progress toward completion. A collection of Unionide and other fresh-water shells, made by Dr. D. N. DeTarr, assistant in the Museum during the summer of 1881, has been arranged by. him in cases pro- vided for that purpose. A considerable part of the insect collection, which was made by Mr. - Lintner for the State Museum, has been placed for exhibition in one of the large table-cases on the second floor. Although subject to de- terioration from the influence of light, the Director has deemed it proper to place some portion of this collection where it can be seen by visitors to the Museum. In the Department of Osteology, Anatomical and Alcoholic Speci- mens, and the preparation of translucent sections of fossils and min- 12 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE erals, under the charge of Dr. J. W. Hall, the work has been continued as heretofore ; except that the general duties of the Museum (in the | absence of an assistant in the Zodlogical Department, and the work heretofore performed by the taxidermist) have fallen upon the assistant who has charge of this department. In addition to the above large translucent sections of rocks and fossils, nearly 300 sections of shells of Brachiopoda have been pre- pared by Mr. Beecher by hand for microscopic study. These sec- tions, many of them minute, are mounted on glass slides of the standard size, and each one labeled with the generic and specific name. ‘The study of the minute structure of the shells of bra- chiopoda is of much importance in determining the generic rela- tions of this class of fossils, and has heretofore been too much neg- lected, from the difficulty of obtaining satisfactory specimens. This work was commenced by me several years since, in connection with the revision of the genera of the Brachiopoda, of which about thirty | plates have already been prepared as a part of the paleontological work of the State. The present collection has already furnished some important facts in regard to the classification of the Orthide and Strophomenide, and I propose to examine in this manner the shells of all the genera of Brachiopoda, which are known in the Paleozoic formations of New York. Among the miscellaneous work of the Museum during the past year, a small geological map of New York (drawn with pen and the area of the formations indicated by different modes of lining) has been pre- pared to accompany the article on the History of the Geological Survey of New York, to be published in the “ Civil Service of the State of New York.” We have also prepared a large colored map, preparatory to the publication of a geological map of the State, embodying the results of geological investigation since 1844, which is the date of the last published geological map of the State. During the past summer a single paper of fifty-nine pages, on the fossil corals of the Niagara and Upper Helderberg groups, has been - published in advance of the Thirty-fifth Report of the State Museum, COLLECTIONS IN THE FIELD. Almost the only geological collections made in the field during the past’ year were from the Oriskany sandstone in the vicinity of Knox, in Albany county, and from the Mohawk valley. The latter were from the fresh exposures along the outcrops made by the excavations on the line of the West Shore railroad. These collections represent Me Paes 7 SrateE MusrEum oF NATURAL HIsrory. 13 the Laurentian, the Calciferous sandstone, the Trenton limestone and the Utica slate. A number of specimens from these collections will be available for the State Museum, and the remainder will go ‘into the duplicate material for distribution. ‘The interest in these collections is due to the fact that they illustrate the succession of beds, and the direct contact of the Calciferous sandstone with the Upper Laurentian gneiss, proving the absence of the Potsdam sand- stone along the Mohawk valley. A collection of specimens of the iron ores from Hssex county has been made for the Museum. COLLECTIONS ARRANGED IN THE TABLE-CASES OF THE MUSEUM. A series of specimens from the Utica slate, illustrating the mor- phological development of Triarthrus Becki, has been labeled and arranged in the table-case of the paleontological series. ‘This is the only series of the kind in the Museum, and is a very valuable addition to the collections of fossil Crustacea. The largest addition to the arranged collections during the year is from the Niagara group of Waldron, Indiana. The specimens were selected from many thousand examples, and the whole arranged series represents a most compiete exhibition of the Niagara fauna of Indiana. It is especially valuable for comparison with the same horizon in New York and elsewhere. ‘This collection contains many typical speci- mens used in the illustration and descriptions of the species, and many very fine examples of other species. With the exception of the Scho- harie collections, it is the largest and most complete representation of the fossils of a single locality in the State Museum. A list of these additions is given elsewhere, ‘The specimens illustrated on the plates of Lamellibranchiata, in vol. v, part 1, Paleontology of New York (unpublished), have been numbered and arranged according to the plates, and a partial series selected for the Museum collections. The delay in the publication of this volume has been to the disadvantage of any final work in this series of fossils. The large collection of Devonian Lamellibranchiata, belonging to the State, cannot be made use of for the purposes of dis- tribution, until the publication of this volume is completed. A full set of the plates of the Lamellibranchiata, of vol. v, part 1, Paleontology of New York (as above), with manuscript descriptions of the figures, was sent to the Geological Survey of Kentucky, on ap- plication of Mr. Henry Nettelroth, who has in his charge the prepa- ration of the report upon the fossil Mollusca of Kentucky. The Director of the Museum, as State Geologist, has considered it a duty to furnish this information regarding unpublished work, from 14 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE the fact of the long delay in presenting our own publications for the use of scientific workers. | A pamphlet of more than sixty pages, containing descriptions of a part of these fossils, was published in 1869. The manuscript descrip- tions of the remaining species for the then proposed vol. v, part 1, have long been ready for the press, and were communicated with the Museum report two years since, but up to this time have not yet been printed. The collections made in previous years from the Lower Carboniferous limestone of Spergen Hill, Indiana, and from the Lower Silurian on the shores of Lake Champlain, have been unpacked, cleaned and ticketed; and a large portion of these are repacked in boxes for want of space to arrange them. ‘The remainder are now accessible for the selection of duplicates. | DISTRIBUTION OF DUPLICATE FossILS AND MINERALS. Every year shows an increasing number of applications for labeled collections of fossils and minerals. ‘Some of these are outside of the regulations adopted by the Board of Regents for the distribution of collections; but the Director has in many instances felt constrained to listen to such applications, believing that it would inure to the advan- tage of the Museum. In such cases he has made liberal use of his private collections of rocks and iron ores of Northern New York and other localities, from which the State Museum does not possess duplicates, In addition to the general distribution above named, there have been sent, by authority of the Regents, a small collection of Oriskany sandstone fossils and a large stump of Psaronius erianus, to McGill College, Montreal, and presented to the Peter Redpath Museum. In anticipation of the early removal, to some public building, of the large collections of fossils which have long been in the custody of the State Geologist, a large portion of the drawers containing them, about 1,200 in number, have been carefully examined and in part - rearranged, the specimens cleaned, etc. ‘The fossil corals, occupying about 500 close drawers, have been systematically arranged, and are in a cleanly and proper condition for removal at any time. The greater part of the collection is packed in boxes, and these are ready for removal as soon as a proper place shall be provided. It is my melancholy duty to record the death of Mr. James A. Hurst, who has for more than thirty years acted as the taxidermist of the State Museum. Nearly all the stuffed specimens of birds and mammals have been mounted by him; and through his care and watchfulness they have remained in very excellent condition.

Davip Murray, LL. D., Secretary of the Board of Regents of the University : Sr1r — Since the date of my last report, specimens of one hundred and forty-two species of plants have been mounted and placed in the State Herbarium, of which sixty-eight were not previously represented therein. The specimens of the remaining species represent new forms or varie- ties of species before represented, or exhibit some features or charac- ters not well shown by the older specimens. A list of the species of which specimens have been mounted is hereinafter given and marked (1). By reason of the veto, by the Governor, of the appropriation for the reimbursement of the expenses of the Botanist for the years 1880 and 1881, it was not deemed prudent by me to advance any more money to meet these expenses. I have, therefore, been obliged to devote myself to the accomplishment of such work as could be done with the ma-_ terials already on hand, and I have no additions to the Herbarium by the collecting of the Botanist, to report. This interruption of the work is to be regretted since it delays 1ts completion and thereby in- creases the cost. If it shall be deemed best to continue the work of supplying deficiencies in the Herbarium and of developing a knowledge of the cryptogamic botany of our State, it is desirable that either the salary of the Botanist be increased sufficiently to enable him to meet the necessary expenses out of his own pocket, or else that an appropriation for these expenses be made in advance. As usual, numerous specimens have been contributed to the Her- barium by various correspondents and other co-laborers in botany. A list of the contributors and of their respective contributions is marked (2). Some of the contributed specimens represent plants that are new to the Herbarinm and have not before been reported, others are rare plants from newly-discovered localities, or specimens that exhibit some 30 THIRTY-SIXTH REPORT ON THE STATE MuSsSEUM. peculiar variation in the species, and for these or other reasons are worthy of notice. New stations of rare plants, remarks and observa- tions are recorded in a section marked (3). Among the contributed specimens is a new species of edible fungus belonging to the genus Agaricus, subgenus Psalliota, and closely re- lated to the common edible mushroom, and its near relative the horse mushroom. The mushrooms are so interesting by reason of their fre- quent use as an article of food, and the three species mentioned are so variable and so intimately related to each other, that in pursuance of a plan already adopted in two previous reports (in which synopses of the subgenera Amanita and Lepiota have been given), I have thought best to give a full descriptive synopsis of all our New York species of the subgenus Psalliota. In this monograph the descriptions have been revised and made more complete, the dimensions of the spores have been given and copious remarks have been added with the design of pointing out more clearly the distinguishing features of the species and of aiding in their discrimination. It is marked (4). (1.) PLANTS MOUNTED. Not new to the Herbarium. Ranunculus abortivus, Z. Potamogeton crispus, LZ. Raphanus Raphanistrum, L. P pusillus, L. Brassica Sinapistrum, Boiss.

OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 41 (4) NEW YORK SPECIES OF PSALLIOTA. ‘Stem annulate, distinct from the hymenophorum; lamelle free.” Hymen, Hurop., p. 278. The name of the subgenus Psalliota is derived from the Greek word Wakrxdrorv (eddXiov), a bracelet or armlet. Its application to these Agarics was probably suggested by the annulus or ring which encircles the stem. The species of this subgenus correspond in structure to those of the subgenus Lepiota in the Leucospori or white-spore series and to those of the subgenus Annularia in the Hyporhodii or pink- spore series. The tendency of the flesh in some species of Psalliota to change color when cut or bruised corresponds also to a similar tend- ency in some of the Lepiote. No corresponding subgenus has yet been established in the Dermini or ochraceous-spore series, nor in the Coprinarii or black-spore series. The Agarics belonging to the sub- genus Psalliota are generally of medium or large size and rather at- tractive in appearance until the lamellae have assumed the blackish color of age. ‘They are most abundant in late summer or autumn, but in warm wet weather some of them occur early in the season also. The pileus is more or less fleshy but usually rather brittle or easily broken. It may be either smooth, fibrillose or scaly. Sometimes even individuals of the same species exhibit pilei with all these characters. The fibrillose pileus of a young individual may become either smooth or scaly with age. No species having a viscid pileus appears yet to have occurred either in our State or in Europe, though an Ohio species A. fabaceus, Berk., is described as having the pileus viscid when moist. The lamelle are generally close or crowded and rounded at their inner extremity and not attached to the stem. They change color with ad- vancing age, becoming darker as they grow older. This change of color is in great measure due to the development of the spores which cause the lamelle to assume their own brown or blackish-brown hue. The lamelle of young plants are generally whitish or pallid, changing in some species, directly from this color to the brown color of maturity, and in others, assuming an intervening pinkish rosy or reddish hue before taking on the final dark or sombre color. The exceptional A. fabaceus is described as having the lamelle brown even in the young plant, but even in this case they are said to become darker with age. In the common mushroom, A. campestris, they may become moist or subdeliquescent when old, thus indicating a relationship with the inky species of the genus Coprinus. The stem is fleshy and furnished with an annulus or ring, which in some species varies in its degree of de- velopment, and in others is more or less thin and somewhat evanes- [Sen. Doc. No. 53.] 6 42 ' 'THIRTY-SIXTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. cent. The spores in our species are quite small, elliptical or subellip- tical in outline and do not vary greatly in dimensions in the different species. - Fries groups the European species in two sections which he names «*Edules,” and “Minores.” The former group includes the larger ‘and more fleshy species. Several of them are edible and have long been used as an article of food. No representatives of the“ Minores ” have yet been found in our State. Of the ‘‘ Edules” we have several species which may again be divided into two sub-groups depending on their usual habitats. Those which grow in open places, manured grounds or cultivated fields generally have a thicker, firmer pileus and - a comparatively shorter stouter stem than those that grow in copses groves and woods. It is among these especially that the most notable succulent “mushrooms” are found. -SYNOPTICAL TABLE OF THE SPECIES. Growing in fields, open places or cultivated grounds........ 2 2.

Fields, pastures, manured grounds, mushroom beds, etc. This is the well-known “ edible mushroom,” aspecies which is more extensively cultivated and more generally used as food than any other. With proper attention to its characteristic features there is no need of REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 43 its being mistaken for or confused with any deleterious or poisonous species. The pileus is nearly always regular in shape, rather thick and mod- erately firm, hemispherical or convex when young but usually becom- ing more flattened or nearly plane with age. In its young state it is adorned with fine silky or hairy fibrils which sometimes, with advancing age, form minute persistent tufts or scales and sometimes disappear altogether, leaving the surface quite smooth. The decurved margin usually extends a little beyond the extremity of the lamelle, The cuticle or skin is more or less readily separable from the flesh, which is white, but sometimes manifests a tendency to change color slightly when cut or bruised, and to exhibit pinkish or reddish stains. The color of the pileus in the wild form is usually white or whitish with us, out in the cultivated formsit is often ochrey- brown or pale tawny, and varieties sometimes occur in which it is brown. | The lamelle have a very beautiful and delicate pinkish hue which is apparent as soon as they are exposed to the light by the separation of the concealing veil from the margin of thepileus. This color grad- ually becomes darker with advancing age until it finally changes to a dark brown or almost black hue. ‘This character is one of the best by which to distinguish the ‘‘ edible mushroom ” from all other Agarics, except its nearestallies, A. Rodmani and A. arvensis. And even from these, when young, it may readily be distinguished by the primary color of its lamelle. The subgenera Annularia and Pluteusin the pink-spore series contain species the lamelle of which exhibit similar pinkish colors, but these never change to brown or blackish-brown as the plant matures or becomes old. In the mushroom the lamelle are rounded at their inner extremity and not attached to the stem, so that generally in mature specimens there is a small free space between it and them. . The stem is commonly short in proportion to the breadth of the pileus, its length being, in most cases, less than the horizontal diame- ' ter of the pileus. Ordinarily it is cylindrical in shape, though now and then instances occur in which it may either be slightly thickened or slightly narrowed toward the base. ‘he central portion of the stem is a little softer in texture than the external portion, hence it is said to be stuffed. The annulus encircles it at or near the middle. It is sometimes quite thin and flabby and is then easily torn and destroyed. The mushroom, like many other plants which have been the sub- jeet of long and extensive cultivation, has given rise to several forms which exhibit quite marked distinctive features. These forms differ Ag THIRTY-SIXTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. so much from the original typical form that they have received dis- tinguishing names and are called varieties. The following are the principal ones. ; Var. albus. White variety. Pileus smooth or slightly silky-fibril- lose, white or whitish, stem short. This is our most common variety. It occurs in unfrequented streets, waste places, cultivated grounds and especially in rich pastures where the grass is kept short. It usually appears in August and September, but sometimes in warm, wet weather it is found early in the season. A very large form with the pileus six or seven inches broad sometimes occurs Var. praticola. Meadow variety. (A. praticola, Vitt.) (A. pratensis, Handbook.) Pileus adorned with reddish scales, flesh somewhat tinged with pink. This variety must be uncommon with us. I have seen no examples of it, nor of the three following varieties : Var. umbrinus. Brown variety. Pileus smooth, brown; stem stout and minutely scaly. Var. rufescens. Reddish variety. Pileus reddish, minutely scaly; lamellee at first white; stem elongated; flesh turning bright red when cut. or bruised. ‘This departs so decidedly from the ordinary charac- ters of the type, especially in the white color of the young lamelle, that it seems to merit separation as a distinct species. Var. villaticus. Villa variety. (A. villaticus, Brond.) Plant large, pileus scaly; stem scaly, coated or subvolvate by the inferior veil. In the Handbook of British Fungi this is placed as a variety of A. ar- vensis, but most authors regard it as a variety of A. campestris, Var, hortensis. Garden variety. Pileus brownish or ochrey-brown, bearing hairy fibrils or minute scales. This is often cultivated and is occasionally exposed for sale in the markets of Albany. Var. Buchanani. Buchanan’s variety. Pileus white, smooth, de- pressed in the center, the margin naked; stem stout; annulus thin, lacerated. A rare variety sometimes occurring in mushroom beds. Var. elongatus. Long-stem variety. Pileus small, smooth, convex, the margin adorned with the adherent remains of the lacerated veil ; stem long, slender, slightly thickened toward the base; annulus slight or evanescent. ‘This is also a variety of mushroom beds. an vaporarius, Green-house variety. (A. vaporarius, Vité.) Pileus brownish, coated with long hairs or fibrils; stem hairy-fibrillose, be- coming transversely scaly. Conservatories, cellars, ete. Not differing greatly from Var. hortensis. : REPORT OF THE STATE BoTANIST. 45 Agaricus RopMANI, Pk. Rodman’s Mushroom. Pileus rather thick, firm, at first convex, then nearly or quite plane, with decurved margin, smooth or rarely slightly rimose-squamose on the disk, white or whitish, becoming yeliowish or subochraceous on the disk, the flesh white, unchangeable ; lamelle close, narrow, rounded behind, free, reaching nearly or quite to the stem at first whitish, then pink or reddish-pink, finally blackish-brown; stem short, subequal, solid, whitish, smooth below theannulus, often furfuraceous or slightly mealy-squamulose above; annulus variable, thick or thin, entire or - lacerated, at or below the middle of the stem ; spores br oadly ellipti- cal or subglobose, generally uninucleate, 0002 to .00025 in. long, .0V016 to .0002 in. broad. Plant 2 to3 in. high ; pileus 2 to 4 in. “ica stem 6 to 10 lines thick, Grassy ground and paved gutters. Astoria, Long Island. Rev. W. Rodman. Washington Park, Albany. May to July. This species is intermediate between A. campestris and A. arvensis, from both of which it may be distinguished by its narrow lamellae, solid stem and smaller, almost globose, spores. In size, shape of the pileus and general appearance 1t most resembles A. campestris, but in the whitish primary color of the lamellz and in the yellowish tints which the pileus often assumes, it approaches nearer to A. arvensis. The pileus, which is usually smooth, occasionally manifests a tendency to crack into small areas or scales on the disk. ‘The flesh is quite thick and firm, its thickness generally much exceeding the breadth of _ the lamelle. This character, together with the solidity of the stem, indicates a disposition in the species to produce flesh rather than fruit and may make it more desirable for cultivation than the common mushroom. The length of the stem, in all the specimens I have seen, is less than the breadth of the pileus. Its shape is nearly cylindrical. The annulus is generally rather thick and sometimes projects both above and below in such a manner that it appears like a grooved band or collar surrounding the stem. In some instances it is so near the base that it suggests the idea of a volva. ' Its lower or exterior surface is occasionally rimose, thereby indicating another point of resemblance between this species and A. arvensis. In this respect, as well as in its solid stem and narrow lamelle, it also approaches A.augustus, a large and showy European species which has not yet occurred with us, but which may be known by its lamelle changing at once from the pallid color of immaturity to the dark-brown hue of age, without exhibiting any intervening pinkish tints. 46 THIRTY-SIXTH REPORT ON THE STATE Museum. The species is respectfully dedicated to its discoverer. Its edible qualities are deemed equal to those of the common edible mushroom. It has been tested by Mr. G. Rodman. It is apparently a rare species, but may be more common than is supposed, for it may possibly have been heretofore confused with the common mushroom, which it much resembles in color, the pileus being at first white or whitish, although it soon assumes yellowish tints or becomes a pale ochrey-red or russet color on the disk. | AGARICUS ARVENSIS, Scheff. Horse Mushroom. Plowed-land Mushroom. Pileus at first convex or conical-campanulate, then expanded, at first more or less floccose or mealy, then smooth, white or yellowish, flesh white ; lamelle close, free, generally broader anteriorly, at first whitish, then pinkish, finally blackish-brown ; stem equal or slightly thickened toward the base, smvoth, hollow or stuffed with a floceose pith ; an- nulus rather large, thick, the lower or exterior surface often cracked in aradiate manner; spores elliptical, .0003 to .0004 in. long, .0002 to .00025 in. broad. Plant 2 to 5 in. high; pileus 3 to 5 in. or more broad; stem 4 to 10 lines thick. Cultivated fields and pastures. Summer and autumn. This species is so closely related to the common mushroom that it is regarded by some authors as a mere variety of it. Even the re- nowned Persoon is said to have written concerning it, ‘‘ It appears to be only a variety of A. campestris.” Cordier says of it, ‘* Distinguished from A. campestris by its pure white color, more pale lamellae, its white flesh not changing color when cut or bruised, its lamella re- maining pale a long time and not deliquescing.” Fries also says that it is commonly not distinguished from resemblance toit. The poisonous A. phalloides has a much larger bulb to the stem and the lamelle remain permanently white or whitish, showing at no age either the pinkish or blackish-brown hues which are So conspicuous in A. silvicola.

Pileus fleshy but rather thin, at first convex or campanulate, then expanded and quite plane, sgwamulose, whitish, the disc and minute scales brown ; lamelle close, free, white, then pinkish, finally blackish- brown; stem smooth, stuffed with asmall pith slightly tapering upward, bulbous, whitish, the bulb stained with yellow and usually giving rise to one or two mycelioid white root-like processes; annulus large, flabby; spores elliptical, .0002 to .00025 in. long, .00016 to .00018 in. broad. Plant 3 to 5 in. high, pileus 2 to 4 in. broad, stem 2 to 4 lines thick. Under hemlock trees. Oneida and Knowersville. July. This rare but beautiful Agaric is easily distinguished from its allies by the bulbous stem and the perfectly flat white surface of the ex- panded pileus finely adorned by numerous minute brown scales. These scales are confluent on the disk where they form a brown spot, thus imitating in appearance many species of thesubgenus Lepiota. Some- times faint radiating strie extend from the disk to the margin of the pileus. In damp weather the large thin annulus is sometimes studded with drops of moisture of a dark color. Nothing is known concern- ing the edible qualities of the species. ‘The specific name is derived from two Greek words, zAa@xous, a flat cake, and wuxns, a fungus, and has reference to the very flat horizontally expanded pileus. AGARICUS SILVATICUS, Scheff. Wood Agaric. _ Pileus thin, at first convex or campanulate, then expanded, gibdous or subumbonate, fibrillose or variegated with a few thin tawny brown- ish or reddish-brown spot-like appressed scales, whitish, brownish or smoky gray, the disk sometimes tinged with red or reddish-brown, the flesh white or faintly reddish ; lamelle thin, close, free, narrowed toward each end, reddish, then blackish-brown ; stem rather long, equal or slightly tapering upward, hollow, whitish ; spores elliptical, 0002 to .00025 in. long, .00016 to .0002 in. broad. Plant 3 to 5 in. high, pileus 2 to 4 in. broad, stem 4 to 6 lines thick, | Woods. Summer and autumn. Not common. The absence of a bulbous base to the stem and the fibrillose or feebly scaly pileus which is more or less gibbous or umbonate, serve to dis- tinguish this from the two preceding species. Concerning its edibility, REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 49 Cordier says that it is at least suspicious and that Vivian pronounces it ‘* pernicious.” Its odor is strong and its flesh when cut assumes a slight yellowish tint. AGARICUS DIMINUTIVUS, Pk. Diminutive Agaric. Pileus thin, fragile, at first convex, then plane or centrally de- pressed, sometimes. slightly umbonate, whitish or alutaceous, faintly spotted with small thin silky appressed brownish scales,the disk brownish or reddish-brown ; lamellz close, thin, free, ventricose, brownish-pink becoming brown, blackish-brown or black; stem equal or slightly tapering upward, stuffed or hollow, smooth, pallid ; annulus thin, per- sistent, white; spores elliptical, .0002 in. long, .00015 to .00016 in. broad.

It is perhaps too closely related to the preceding species of which it may possibly prove to be a mere variety or dwarf form. Its pileus is quite thin and fra- gile. Usually the darker or reddish hue of the disk gradually loses it- self in the paler color of the margin, but sometimes the whole surface is tinged with red.

BEECHER. -Monstrosities among fresh-water shells are not infrequent and are interesting as illustrative of the cause of natural or accidental de- formity. A large proportion of abnormal or pathologic forms is found in exposed situations, where the shelis are subject to varying condi- ° tions of water and materials brought by currents or otherwise. The ‘annual draining and cleaning of the canals renders the contained or- ganisms liable to many accidents. It is likewise found that in the vicinity of a ford or watering-place for cattle, many of the uniones bear the marks of injury. It is, while the animal is repairing these in- juries and adapting itself to changing conditions of water and deposits, that most of the malformations in its shell are produced, and it is quite seldom that a shell is found which has been deformed by the atrophy or hypertrophy of any of the animal organs. These malformations are occasionally transmitted and their degree is often augmented by the action of the law of accelerated heredity, as applied to the mollusca by Professor Alpheus Hyatt.* It is convenient to consider abnormalities as natural or accidental. Natural changes are usually produced by the action of gravitation, adaptation to modified habitats or by changes in the forms of the organs. The effects of gravitation are noticed mainly in those univalves which live at or near the surface of the water and, therefore, necessarily carry the weight of the shell at a disadvantage. Accidental deformities are always the accompaniment of an attempt by the animal to repair injuries which it has received. If the form of the shell has been altered, the animal will accommodate itself to this alteration ; and, on the contrary, if permanentinjury or malformation has been produced in the soft parts of the animal, the accreting test will gradually adjust itself to this change in those parts. * The Genesis of the Tertiary Species at Steinheim, by Alpheus Hyatt; page 27, Anniver- sary Memoirs of the Boston Society of Natural History, 1830. 52 THIRTY-SIXTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. One of the most noticeable and interesting examples of a departure from normal conditions is sinistrality. With some genera and species (Partula, Achatinella, Bulimus, etc.) the dextral or sinistral shells — occur indifferently. Thus, from a sinistral specimen of Campeloma, Raf. (Melantho, Bodw.) were taken two sinistral fry. The remaining | twenty-five were dextral. Also, some of the fry of dextral individuals are very often sinistral. In other genera only certain (supra) species are sinistral, and again in some entire genera (Physa, Clausilia, etc.) this is a constant feature. Many genera and species have not yet fur- _nished a single example. ‘T'wo remarkable sinistral forms are given in the present paper. Several others, among our land and fresh-water shells, are known from the State of New York, but not in the vicinity of Albany. Individuals are found among our uniones which have the cardinal and lateral teeth interchanged in the valves, thus giving to the right valve the form and number of teeth belonging to the left. This kind of sinistrality is of unusual occurrence, and has been rarely noticed. Upon the authority of Professor R. Ellsworth Call, I am able to cite the following species in which he has observed the above reversion of teeth : Unio complanatus, Mohawk, N. Y.; U. rubiginosus, Des Moines, Iowa, and U. cahawbensis, Cahawba river, Alabama.

The first thickening of the labrum is immediately succeeded by another thickening of the margin, which is also flexed outward and produces the enlargement. The second specimen, figure 7%, exhibits the tendency of the outer — volution to become free. ‘he suture is very deeply impressed nearly to the columella, and the aperture is much shortened. These two specimens exhibit natural departures, while figure 8 rep- resents an accidental deformity, in which the margin of the aperture is deeply excavate and the lower part of the labrum is sinuate. . ABNORMAL FRESH-WATER SHELLS. Wa on 5) PLANORBIS EXACUTUS, Say. : Plate I, figs. 1-3. The examination of a large series of specimens from the yicinity of Albany shows that this species frequently departs from its normal form. Individuals with expanded and variously modified apertures are not uncommon and one sinistral example has been detected. Figure 1 represents an individual in which the upper side of the labrum is expanded. Figure 2 represents an individual in which the entire aperture is inflated, especially on the lower side. The sinistral specimen (figure 3) has lost nearly all the testaceous characters belonging to the species and is a monstrosity in every par- ticular. It is impossible to determine from external evidence whether it is a case of true sinistrality or one of inverted growth. The volu- tions are of equal convexity on either side and the obliquity of the aperture-is not determinative. The specimen was found in a locality abounding only in this species, and the three specimens here described were selected from among several thousand others, about two per cent of which show some departure from normality, principally in variations in the form of the aperture and elevation of the spire and in intermit- tent growth. VALVATA TRICARINATA, Say. Plate I, fig. 9. The volutions of the specimen are free except at the apex. This va- riation in this species has been recorded by several observers and is not extremely rare, although this is the only specimen which has been found in the vicinity of Albany. ° GILLIA ALTILIS, Lea. Plate I, fig. 5. A very remarkable biflexed individual. The shell, for a considerable ‘ period of its growth, equal to the formation of the three initial volu- ‘ tions, is dextral and of the usual form. The spiral then changes its direction; the apex becomes partially inverted and the last volution is sinistral. ‘This isthe only example of a heterospiral growth that is known to,me and cannot be satisfactorily accounted for from the ap- pearance of the shell alone. An examination of the anatomy of the animal might have revealed the cause of this reversion of growth. The initial point of the operculum being nearer to the apex of the shell, indicates that the growth was inverted during the formation of the last volution, and suggests, as a possible explanation, the action of gravitation on an animal too weak to hold the shell on its dorsum. 5A THIRTY-SIXTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. a SOMATOGYRUS SUBGLOBOSUS, Say.

Figure 10 represents the left side of a specimen which is unusually alate at the post-cardinal extremity. The outer zone of growth slopes rapidly to the pallial margin and is marked by the absence of the col- ored radil. In the specimen the body of the sheli is of a dark-green color, while the last annulus of growth is yellow and Pou a strong contrast with the remaining portion of the shell. The next figure (figure 11) represents a specimen which received an injury during the early growth of the shell. The margin of the valve is flexed and there is a broad mesial depression in the right valve ex- tending from the umbo to the margin. In the left valve the condi- tions are reversed, the depression in the right valve being represented by a corresponding plication. Figure 12 shows a left valve with the anterior portion narrow and auriculate, the umbo oblique and the wing much reduced. The teeth of this specimen are also much modified ; in the left valve there is a single continuous elevated tooth which is sinuate anteriorly to repre- sent the cardinal teeth. In the right valve the teeth are quite rudi- - mentary and thestrong cardinal ridge of the opposite valve projects into the rostral cavity. UNIO cARIosuS, Say. Plate I, fig. 13.

ABNORMAL FRESH-WATER SHELLS. 55 UNIO COMPLANATUS, Solander. Plate II, figs. 2-6. Figure 2 represents a specimen similar to the preceding, but with more numerous and stronger vertical plications. The shell in these species is normally smooth and we must seek for an explanation of the cause of the plications in the soft parts of the animal, as they are evi- dently not due to accidental causes. From the examination of a num- ber of individuals presenting these plications in various degrees of prominence, and from the inspection of the living animal, it is evi- dent that these abnormal features are produced by the rapid growth of the shell over the gills while they are distended with fry. Unio os- beckit, a species from China, is classed with the plicate forms in Lea’s Synopsis of the Unionide, but the plications do not seem to be a con- stant characteristic of the species. The plications are not always present and, when they do occur, they are usually obscure and similar in position and expression to those specimens of U. nasutus and U. complanatus here presented and probably have a like significance. Figure 3 represents the right valve of a specimen modified by acci- dental deformity. The umbo is nearly central, and the upper anterior portion of the valve is flattened aud deeply sulcate. The next specimen (figs. 4, 5) is a very elongate cylindrical form with an excessively thickened pallial margin. The last individual to be noted (fig. 6) is an apparently normal form, as no marks of accidental or natural deformity can be detected. It was found associated with numerous specimens of U. complanatus, and is here referred to this species, although seemingly presenting marked specific differences. The outline is regularly elliptical, and the prominent beak is situated just anterior to the middle of the length. The cardinal teeth are elongate, and the lateral tooth is short and oblique — characters which do not belong to U. complanatus. Should it ultimately prove of a distinct species, it would be of a form hitherto unknown to this locality. Specimens similar to the preceding briefly noted forms are often overlooked or considered as unimportant by many collectors ; but to a student of morphological variation and possible specific change, they are extremely interesting. After numerous accidental and natural changes have been illustrated and described, embracing many genera and species, it will be possible to generalize important biological facts relating to the classification of species and manner-of growth of the organisms.

Y. ) ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE SHELL IN THE GENUS ORTHIS. By JAMES HALL It is generally pretty well known among paleontologists, at the pres- ent time, that the genus OrTHIS, as constituted by Dalman, contains heterogeneous material; and that the species do not form the well characterized natural group sometimes claimed for them. . Leaving out of consideration the two species first named by the author of the genus, which are marked with an ?, the remaining spe- cies exhibit a considerable variety of external form and of internal marking, which characters alone are sufficient to distinguish them gen- erally from one another. The general aspect of the shells constituting the genus, as described by its author and extended by subsequent writers, is a sub-circular or sub-quadrate form ; valves sometimes nearly equally convex, while in other examples one valve may be flat or concave. This latter feature — may affect either the ventral or the dorsal valve. Both valves are fur- nished with an area, though this character is often but slightly devel- oped in the dorsal valve; the opposite valve is furnished with wider area and open triangular fissure for the passage of a pedicil. The hinge line is straight, usually shorter than the width of the shell. The surface is striated or plicated, and the general aspect of nearly all the forms is so similar that they have been grouped together, gener- ally, and by the best authors, without hesitation. ‘The most conspicuous external difference is between a finely striated, and a coarsely plicate surface. These differences are often accompa- nied by another distinguishing feature. The coarsely plicate forms, among the American species, are usually what are termed resupinate shells ; the dorsal valve being the more convex and the ventral valve flat or concave and sometimes sinuate in front, but still carrying its conspicuous area and foramen. On further examination we find that many striated species are resupinate, or have the dorsal valve the more conyex. An examination of the interior of the shell in all these forms shows that the muscular impression in the ventral valve is strongly defined, distinctly bilobate, limited at the margins by a strong ridge or elevated lamella, usually interrupted or non-continu- ous in the front. (These forms are chiefly of lower or middle Silurian in their geological range.) On comparing other forms of the genus where the valves are nearly equal, or where the shell is plano-convex, the more convex valve is the [Sen. Doc. No. 53. ] 10 74 THIRTY-SIXTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. — ventral. There are also resupinate forms which are closely allied to them; but, as a rule, the forms with finely striated surface, subequi- valve or plano-convex, have the ventral valve the more convex ; and the muscular impression is flabelliform with its margins lobed, and more or less distinctly limited by an elevation of the interior substance of the shell. . The resupinate forms which are more closely allied to those with flabelliform ventral muscular impressions, have the corresponding mus- cular imprint more strongly defined and less distinctly lobed at the margins than in the forms just noticed. These are the most obvious distinctions among the prevailing forms of the genus ORTHIS as constituted by Dalman. | The Orthis (Platystrophia biforata) is, in some degree, an excep- tion to all the forms above mentioned, having both valves very convex, the surface strongly plicated, with a mesial fold and sinus, as in SPIRIFERA. In itsmuscular areas it resembles the resupinate forms of OrtHIs of the lower Silurian rocks, often presenting an abnormal thick- ening of the shell around the muscular area of the ventral valve. The Orthis biloba (Dicelosia biloba of King) of the upper Silurian rock also presents a departure from the typical forms of Orthis, but preserves the similar muscular system. Before undertaking a revision-of the materials constituting the genus ORTHIS, it has seemed desirable to ascertain whether the varia- tions in form, surface ornamentation, or character of muscular impres- sion, is associated with any difference in the shell-structure. For this purpose, cuttings, prepared. for microscopic examination, have been made from many species, and the result has proved that all the resu- pinate lower and middle Silurian forms, whether plicate or finely stri- ate, are fibrous shells, with the ventral muscular impression small and strongly limited. ‘They are essentially either free from puncte in any form, or with a few scattered pustuliform pores. The finely stri- ate sub-equivalve or plano-convex forms with flabelliform muscular im- pressions, have the shell punctate in lines, or radiating belts, corre- _ sponding to the rays of the shell, with an intermediate fibrous texture. The character of the puncte, the strength and comparative width of the punctate bands, vary with the different species. : In the finely striated, resupinate forms of the Lower Helderberg, Hamilton’and Chemung groups, with the smaller and more distinctly limited flabelliform ventral muscular areas, the punctate character is very marked, often occupying almost the entire surface, and the lines of the radii are shown only by a more crowded condition of the puncte. The resupinate species here referred to are quite different in their out- line and general form from those of the lower rocks, being for the most part rotund forms with the cardinal extremities rounded.’ These species are easily recognized, and readily distinguished from those of the preceding group by their external form alone. | The numerous species which have been already studied in their microscopic shell-structure are naturally separated into three distinct groups which may be of generic value. The first group includes the coarsely plicate forms, with extended cardinal angles; the valves resupinate or normal in their relations ; the test is coarsely fibrous, and usually without puncte, although some STRUCTURE OF SHELL IN THE GENUS ORTHIS. Th species occasionally show a few large scattered pores or ducts near the front of the shell. Professor King has proposed the name PLATYSTROPHIA for Orthis biforata, and this species in its fibrous and non-punctate texture, may be taken as characteristic of the first group, although there are some features, especially in the form of the shell and also in the muscular impressions, which do not in every respect agree with other members. With our present knowledge, we may include in this group the fol- . lowing species: Platystrophia biforata, Trenton and Hudson River groups. ‘6 tricenaria, ‘6 ‘6 66 66 a subquadrata, Hudson River group. 4 borealis, af os ie occidentalis, cog aS sy plicatellag oF € oy: flabella,* Niagara group. * This list will be greatly extended as soon as the shell-structure of allied species can be studied. At present only those species are included which have been studied under the microscope. The second group embraces forms which are usually regarded as typical species of the genus OrTHIS. ‘I'he shell-structure characteriz- ing this group may be described as finely fibrous, with distinct rows of puncte coming out along the summitof the radii; the rows of puncte are simple, or double in some species (O.Clytie), but usually there are several rows to each ray. . The following species of this group have been microscopically studied in numerous specimens: Orthis testudinaria, Trenton and Hudson River groups. 6é perveta, a3 66 73 “<6 «« Clytie, Hudson River group. «¢ elegantula, Niagara group. ce hybrida, NR 3 “< «¢ Vanuxemi, Hamilton group. ‘¢ Penelope, 3 re The third group, consisting of O. multistriata of the Lower Helder- berg group, O. Jowensis of the Hamilton group, O. Tulliensis of the Tully Limestone, and O. impressa of the Chemung group, is highly punctate, with a fine fibrous texture of the shell-substance. In the great number of the puncte and for the most part their uniform char- acter, together with their arrangement, these forms of the Orthide resemble species of Yerebratula, Cyrtina, etc. The name Schizopho- ria, King, may be adopted for this latter group of species.

DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SPECIES OF STYLONURUS FROM THE CATSKILL GROUP. BY JAMES HALL. Sometime during the year 1882 Prof. Geo. H. Cook of Rutgers Col- lege, State Geologist of New Jersey, called‘my attention to the carapace of a large crustacean in a mass of sandstone from the town of Andes, Delaware county, N. Y., which had been presented to the College Museum. At the same time Prof, Cook sent to me a plaster cast of the fossil, in relief, which preserved the characters of the surface in a remarkable degree of perfection. I subsequently saw the original specimen in the museum of Rutgers College, and at a later period, through the kindness of the authorities of that institution, I have been allowed to have the specimens in my possession, for more critical examination and study. Tie locality of the fossil is in the midst of the Catskill group, and the character of the rock alone indicates its geological horizon. The specimens of the rock, one retaining the impression and the other the relief of the carapace, are more than two feet across, each one having a thickness of several inches. Although there are in one of the slabs some cavities partially filled with ferruginous matter, and other ferruginous markings, I have been unable to detect any evidence of organic remains in any part of the mass. The rock, in its unweathered condition, is a fine-grained, olive-gray sandstone, weathering to a more distinctly gray color and becoming somewhat friable. The accompanying description and illustration of the species will give an idea of the character of the fossil and its relations to its con- geners previously known.* * The first published notice of this fossil,so far as I am aware, appeared in the Trans- actions of the New York Academy of Sciences (Vol. I, p. 8, Oct, 1882), by Prof. D. 8, Martin, under the title of a new Eurypterid from the Catskill Group. The notice was based upona cast of the carapace in the N. Y. State Museum of Natural History, which had been labeled with name and locality by the author. The printer’s error in spelling the name Stylomurus instead of Stylonurus, would be readily corrected by any one at all familiar with this class of fossils.

Eyes circular situated on a line just anterior to the center of the length; separated by a strong median ridge which, commencing nearly on a line with the posterior limits of the palpebral arches extends forward nearly one-half the distance to the anterior margin where it be- comes merged in the general convexity of the surface; palpebral arches strongly elevated semi-circular, more regularly curving behind, where they are gradually depressed into the general contour; the an- terior portion of the arch is narrower and terminates abruptly in aline almost through the center of the eyes; posterior angles of the cara- pace rounded; occipital ring moderately defined, anterior to which and separated by a transverse depression, is a central lobe with an in- termediate and lateral lobe on each side with corresponding depres- sions. Surface on the anterior part marked by strong elongate and conflu- ent pustules which are arranged in concentric lines, becoming more individualized and directed backward and subimbricating on the pos- terior half; the markings on the occipital ring are more subdued than upon the general surface, except on the. posterior margin which is ornamented by a row of strong spiniform nodes; the entire interme- diate surface, as well as the surface of the nodes, is marked by fine scales; the surface included by the palpebral arches is marked by stronger scales which are not elevated into nodes; the concave spaces between the posterior lobes are marked only by the fine, scale-like or- namentation. Abdomen and appendages unknown. | The greatest length of the carapace is two hundred and fifty-five millimetres ; width at base one hundred and ninety-five millimetres ; width in a line through the bases of the palpebral arches two hundred and twenty-five millimetres, and across the anterior extremities of the arches one hundred and ninety-three millimetres; the diameter of the eyes is twenty-three millimetres ; distance between the extremities of the palpebral arches, sixty-five millimetres. This species is very different from the ordinary forms of the genus in the great anterior extension of the carapace and the prominence of - the palpebral arches. A restoration on the scale of Stylonurus Logani, Woodward, would make the entire animal over four feet in length. Formation and locality. In the Catskill group; Andes, Delaware county, N. Y.

They submit the following statement of their proceedings under this law. The first section of this act directs the trustees to occupy the several rooms of the State Hall for the purposes of the museum as they may be vacated by the present occupants, and to fit up and prepare the rooms in a suitable manner, and to remoye thither all the State collections. An appropriation of $20,000 was made for this pur- pose. Under this authority the trustees have occupied the base- ment for the storage of valuable plates belonging to the Paleon- tology, and for duplicate specimens. They have also used for tempo- rary purposes the rooms in the second and third stories which have be- come vacant. But until a larger number of rooms in the building is vacated it has been found impossible to commence the work of fitting up the building. The trustees have requested Commissioner Perry to aid and advise them in the preparation of plans for the complete adaptation of the building for the museum. He has accordingly care- fully studied the building and has had plans for the work prepared. The work of actual preparation will be begun as soon as any consider- able portion of the building is vacated. The second section of the act provides for a reorganization of the staff and work of the museum. In accordance with this section vest- ing all the appointments of the staff in the trustees, they reappointed all the members as follows: Professor James Hall to be State Geologist and Director of the museum. James W. Hall, general assistant in charge of the zoological depart- ment. John Gebhard, special assistant and guide to the museum. 8 THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Charles E. Beecher, assistant in geology and paleontology. ‘ Also they appointed for special departments in the museum the following, Viz.: J. A. Lintner, State Entomologist. Charles H. Peck, State Botanist. The trustees in further pursuance of this section have planned and arranged to carry out its purposes by instituting extensive exchanges and distributions of their duplicate specimens among the institutions of learning under the Board of Regents. This, however, can only be fully carried out when the duplicates of the collections are brought to- gether in the new museum building. Under the resolution of the Legislature of 1881, collections of named and labeled specimens have been sent on application to the following academies : 1. Perry Union School, Perry, Wyoming county. 2. Baldwinsville Academy, Baldwinsville, Onondaga county. 3. Seymour Smith Academy, Pine Plains, Dutchess county. 4, Waterville Union School, Waterville, Oneida county. 5. Dreanan Literary Institute, Franklin, Delaware county. 6. Phelps Union and Classical School, Phelps, Ontario county. 7. Little Falls Union School, Little Falls, Herkimer county. 8 9 . Port Byron Free School and Academy, Port Byron, Cayuga county, . Glens Falls Academy, Glens Falls, Warren county. 10. Weedsport Union School, Weedsport, Cayuga county. 11. Dryden Union School, Dryden, Tompkins county. 12: Olean Free School and Academy, Olean, Cattaraugus county. 13. Rutgers College, New Brunswick, New Jersey. 14. Warsaw Union School, Warsaw, Wyoming connty. / The law provides that the trustees of the museum shall hereafter be authorized to print, under their own direction, the scientific papers prepared by the staff of the museum. As the increased appropriation called for by these enlarged duties has not yet become available, the trustees have been unable to enter upon the work of printing scientific papers. This they expect to undertake during the coming year, and they look forward with satisfaction to the prospect of issuing from the museum, from time to time, the important and valuable results of their investigations. By the third section of the law the trustees are charged with the work of supervising the completion of the Paleontology. It is pro- vided that one volume of the work shall be issued each year during five years, and that the completed work shall consist of those five vol- umes. The trustees, in preparing to execute this part of the law, found existing contracts for the printing and engraving required for 4 STATE MusEuM OF NATURAL HISTORY. | 9 this work. They sought the opinion of the Attorney-General as to the binding force of these contracts, and were advised that the contracts held by Charles Van Benthuysen & Sons were valid, and gave to them the right to execute the printing and engraving for the remaining volumes of the Natural History of the State. They obtained, how- ever, extensive and advantageous modifications of the terms of these contracts, and executed a new and supplementary contract for the due execution of the work under the conditions imposed by the law. They also made a contract with Professor James Hall for the execu- tion of the drawings necessary for the plates to be engraved, and for the preparation of the text and explanations of the plates, and for the supervision of the work. These contracts with Charles H. Van Benthuysen and with James Hall are herewith transmitted for the information of the Legislature. Under these contracts the work of preparing a new volume of the Paleontology was resumed, and has been pushed forward with all possible speed. It is expected that this volume will be ready for de- livery in February of the present year, and a second volume will be ready by January, 1885. The volumes of the Paleontology owned by the State, and not yet sold or distributed, have been handed over to the custody of the trus- tees of the museum, and the proceeds of the sale of volumes are placed — to the credit of the museum library. The trustees in closing this report desire to make grateful mention of the several members of the museum staff, for the faithful and effi- cient manner in which they have performed their arduous duties. We respectfully refer for a fuller account of the operations of the several departments of the museum, to the reports of the Director, and of the State Entomologist and State Botanist, which are herewith transmitted. The value of the services of these officers will be particularly evident from the recital there given of their work. The State Entomologist has during the past summer been called upon to aid in the threatened invasion of the northern counties of the State by the chinch-bug, one of the most destructive pests of agriculture. The value of Professor Peck’s contributions to botany is indicated by the constant: demand received for copies of his contributions to the past annual reports of the museum. Respectfully submitted, !

To the Honorable the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York: GENTLEMEN — I have the honor to communicate herewith the an- nual report upon the State Museum of Natural History for the year 1883, being the thirty-seventh in consecutive order, together with a statement of the condition of the collections in the several depart- ments, with the additions made thereto, and a general account of the work done in the institution during the past year. Since the communication of the thirty-sixth report considerable _ progress has been made in the publication of the reports subsequent to the thirty-first. The thirty-second report had already been is- sued as a legislative document, but no copies have been published for ~the use of the Regents or of the museum. The thirty-third and thirty-fourth reports have been printed and delivered at the museum and State library for general distribution. The thirty-fifth report is nearly printed ; already more than four hundred pages are in type and it will speedily be issued. This report will contain several scientific papers, which were communicated with the thirty-third and thirty-fourth reports, and will also include the several catalogues of shells which had been communicated with preceding reports and not heretofore printed. The thirty-sixth report will follow without de- lay, and we have reason to believe that within the present year the reports will be printed up to date. This work once accomplished will relieve the museum of much unpublished matter which has ac- cumulated from year to year, and has left the actual work and con- dition of the museum unrepresented in the printed reports. The collections of the museum have been preserved in their usual good order and condition, and all available space and facilities have been given to their exhibition. The anticipated early removal of the collections to the State Hall has rendered it undesirable to make any unusual plans for placing material on exhibition, which at best could only be of temporary service. The skeleton of the whale mentioned in my two preceding reports has been received in good order and is now stored in one of the base- ment rooms of the State Hall. The specimen is ready for mounting and placing on exhibition as soon as a suitable place can be provided. 20 THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE The collections of birds and mammals, formerly in charge of the — Taxidermist, Mr. James A. Hurst, have, since the death of the latter, been placed in charge of Dr. J. W. Hall, assistant in the museum, who, for the past two years, has had entire charge of these collections. During the past month these collections have been removed from their cases, carefully cleaned and examined, and replaced in the cases in good order, and are all reported ‘as entirely free from injurious in- sects. ‘The skeletons of birds, fish and mammals have likewise re- ceived the proper treatment for their preservation and have been replaced in their proper cases. The alcoholic collections have also been critically examined, the jars refilled, and the whole restored to the cases in proper order. Since the date of my last report the mineralogical collection has been removed from the shelves, the specimens and cases cleaned, and the minerals returned to their places. ‘The geological collection in the wall cases has been likewise removed and properly cleaned and re- turned to their places. The catalogue of the mineralogical collection has been completed and will accompany this report. The cleaning and rearrangement of this part of the museum col- lection has more clearly revealed the fact, which we knew before, that the collection of minerals, in its representation of New York localities, — is far behind the discoveries of later years, and imperatively requires attention. I would recommend that some attention be given to im- proving this department of the collection. This can be most readily and economically done by the purchase of collections at the localities, — or the employment of some person living on the ground where these minerals have been discovered and who will obtain them for a much Jess cost than can be done by sending collectors into the field. The additions to the museum collections made during the year 1883 will be found recorded in detail in the lists appended. In the botanical department specimens have been received from seven contributors. In the collections of zodlogy and ethnology additions are recorded from eight contributors, and there are three contributors to miscel- laneous collections. To the collections of geology, mineralogy and paleontology speci- mens have been received from eleven contributors. The library has received from all sources one hundred volumes and pamphlets ; of these, six have been purchased. COLLECTIONS IN THE FIELD. During the spring of 1883, the excavations made in cutting the West Shore railroad through the Utica and Hudson river slates at a point about three miles below Albany enabled the museum to securea large collection of graptolites from these beds. The collection em- braces several thousand specimens, and many of these are large slabs covered with these organisms. The black slates of this locality have conserved the organic remains in an unusual condition of perfection, compared with most of the localities of the slates in the Hudson valley. From this abundant and well-preserved material there may be ob- Strate Museum oF NaTuRAL History. 21 tained valuable data for an instructive paper of the graptolites, es- pecially as to the development of the base or initial point of the or- ganism. The collection is so extensive in number of specimens that the mu- seum may well supply to other similar institutions a share of its du- licates. é The Curator has considered it desirable to make some farther in-— vestigation in regard to the relations of the Oneonta sandstone and the underlying rocks, a problem of much importance in the geological record of the State, and one which requires still farther inquiry before a satisfactory determination can be made. Geological sections and collections were made in the counties of Delaware, Otsego, Chenango and Madison. ‘These collections illustrate the order of succession among the strata in several localities,.and will be of use in the final comparisons and determination of this question. During the past summer it became necessary to verify some former observations upon the relations of the Niagara and Lower Helderberg groups, with the Hudson River group in the neighborhood of Catskill, which had heretofore been published in the New -York reports, and which more recently had been controverted. The observations es- pecially made sustain the views formerly published regarding the un- conformability of the higher groups with the Hudson River group be- low, still leaving, however, a wide field for further investigation and the determination of many interesting questions regarding the geo- logical dynamics of the periods named. CURRENT WORK OF THE MUSEUM. In addition to the current work pertaining to th. care and preserva- tion of the several collections of the museum, the catalogue, etc., as already mentioned, other work has been going on for the advancement of the museum collections. The work of cutting translucent sections of fossils for mounting on glass, and of cutting and polishing other fossils for illustrating their structure, as wellas cutting and shaping specimens for illustration and _for placing in the cases, has been carried on as usual. _ The total number of translucent sections of rocks and fossils cut and mounted on glass during the year is about 213. Specimens of fossils cut and shaped, ground for resting on shelf or block, and pol- ished, number 360. Taking advantage of our facilities for cutting and polishing speci- mens, the authorities of the normal school at Cortland sent to the mu- seum a considerable number of specimens of fossils from their collec- tions proposing that these be cut and polished, and the museum retain a part of the material thus acquired, as payment for the labor be- stowed. ‘The proposition was accepted and the work done; a part of the collection has been returned to the normal school at Cortland, and the museum retained forty-five specimens, which are enumerated in the list of additions to the museum collections. Both institutions have profited by this intercourse, and the Curator would be glad to ex- tend to any of our educational institutions similar facilities. 22 THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE An arrangement similar to the above has been made with E. B. Knapp, Esq., of the Skaneateles Library and Scientific Association, who has sent a considerable collection of cyathophylloid fossils for cut- ting, conditioned on receiving a portion of them in return, for the use of the Library Association. Since this arrangement will accrue to the advantage of students of natural science, the Curator has had no hesi- tation in making the agreement. The entire collection of translucent sections of rocks and fossils, on glass slides, has been numbered and labeled ; each section has the cata- logue number and name written on the glass with a preparation of asphalt. A catalogue of these specimens, numbering more than two thousand, will accompany the present report as an appendix. LAMELLIBRANCHIATA. In the fossil Lamellibranchiata the duplicate specimens of the fami- les PECTINIDA@, PTERINIDZ, AVICULID& and MYTILIDZ# have been arranged and labeled preparatory for selection and distribution, and now await the publication of volume V, part 1 of the Paleontology of New York. The remainder of the collection of Lamellibranchiata will be arranged and labeled during the present year. BRACHIOPODA. The application of photo-micrography has been made to the illustra- tion of the microscopical sections of the fossil Brachiopoda, prepared by Mr. C. E. Beecher, and has been carried on by him far enough to demonstrate its entire applicability to the objects sought to be ac- complished. From what has already been done in this direction it is evident that the results are very important to the study and classification of the Brachiopoda, and that photography can be very successfully applied in the representation of the minute structure of fossil organisms. | Already something more than three hundred of these microscopic slides have been prepared, from which more than seventy photo- micrographic illustrations have been made. The negatives are the property of the State Museum. A print from each one will be mounted in a suitable book for study and reference, and, with the microscope slides will form the typical series for future reference in all studies of the Brachiopoda. The success attending this experiment is already much greater than I could have expected, and I confidently anticipate that the coming year will show a greatly increased amount of material prepared, as well as improved results from the application of the photo-micrographie process. DISTRIBUTION OF DUPLICATE COLLECTIONS. Collections averaging one hundred species each have been sent to the following institutions: : Port Byron Free School and Academy. Glens Falls Academy. STATE MusEuM OF NATURAL HISTORY. 23 Weedsport Union School. Dryden Union School. Olean Free School and Academy. Rutgers College, New Brunswick, New Jersey. In exchange. I would be glad to recommend that some steps be taken to arrange, according to generic and specific order, the duplicate fossils of the museum collections. Many of these are now packed in boxes and are only accessible with difficulty whenever a small collection is desired for distribution to school or academy. In such difficulty it is natural to seek those most accessible, and in this manner we may often send away specimens in the smaller series which it would be desirable to reserve for more important collections. The completion of volume V, part 1, on the Lamellibranchiata will enable us to give authentic names to a large number of these fossils. The collections from New York are much greater than from any other State in the Union, and the volume now in press will give a greater amount and variety of paleozoic forms than have yet been published in any country of America or Europe from the same formation. I would beg leave to suggest that certain sets of these duplicates be set aside for exchange or presentation to some of the foremost museums in Europe. In either case, were these collections in the museums of Kurope, it would lead to a clearer and higher appreciation of the work which we have done, and make the work still more emphatically one of authority in geological science. Such a course would serve to open an intercourse between the State Museum and the more important museums of Europe, a feature which — I feel will be an important one for ourselves and will serve to facilitate the future working of the institution. . I would also beg leave to call your attention to the fact that there are several very valuable collections in the State Museum which in case of loss could not be replaced. In view of the conceded unsafe condition of the present museum building, I would recommend that the following collections be at once removed to the State Hall and placed in some room of which the officers of the museum have entire control. It is not necessary that these collections be displayed in cases, but they may be placed in closed cases or drawers until the new rooms shall be finished for their reception : (a.) The typical series of specimens of the Cephalopoda, used in the . preparation of volume V, part 2, of the Paleontology of New York. The collection numbers between eight and nine hundred specimens, and is partially arranged under glass and partially in drawers. (4.) The collection of Gould’s types of Mollusca. _(e.) The Emmons collection of crystallized minerals, (d.) The Waldron series of Niagara fossils, of which many are ty pes. (e.) The collection of translucent sections of rocks and _ fossils, numbering more than three thousand specimens. (f.) The typical collection of Gasteropoda and Pteropoda of volume V, part 2, Paleontology of New York, are in the custody of the Curator, as no available space has yet been assigned for their reception. Q4 THIRTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT. (g.) At the completion of volume V, part 1 (now in press), the extensive collections of Lamellibranchiate shells which have been used in the preparation of this work will be available for incorporation with State Museum collections.

In like manner the reports which are appended of the State Entomologist and State Botanist will give in detail the im- portant additions made to the collections in their respective departments, and the work carried forward by them in the scientific investigation of subjects committed to them. By the liberality of the Legislature small appropriations have been made for the expenses of both the Entomolo- gist and Botanist in the prosecution of their researches, and the collec- tion and preservation of specimens for the Museum. This will enable these officers to conduct their departments with greater efficiency than before. In connection with the State exhibit at the New Orleans Exposition, — the Director of the Museum prepared an interesting collection of mate- rial to be sent thither. The limited time allowed for the purpose, and the want of means to collect and prepare what would have been desira- ble, made the collection less complete than might have been wished. It contains, however, some things of unique value and interest, for a full account of which the Trustees refer to the report of the Director. The Trustees are gratified to be able to announce to the Legislature that the several reports of the State Museum, whose publication for various causes has been delayed, some of them for several years, have all been printed and issued during the past year. This list includes the thirty-third, which was presented to the Legislature in 1880, down to and including the thirty-seventh, which was presented in 1884: in all, five reports. The Trustees are glad to feel assured that under the new law passed in 1883, which provides for the scientific printing of the Museum, to be done under the direct care of the Museum staff, will pre- -— vent a recurrence of such an accumulation of material. Under this law the scientific papers prepared by the Museum staff will be issued when- ever ready as Museum bulletins. In all cases of scientific publications 4 THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE the embarrassment and delay is occasioned by the cost and time re- quired for the preparation of the illustrations. And it is impossible to procure such printing done with satisfaction under such a system of public printing as is provided by law for the legislative reports. The increased appropriation now provided for the Museum will enable the Trustees to print in appropriate style whatever the scientific workers of the Museum may prepare. The Trustees announce to the Legislature that under the provisions of the law passed in 1883 the first of the new volumes on Paleontology was published last May. Itis on the Lamellibranchiata, and contains de- scriptions and figures of the Monomyaria of the Upper Helderberg, Ham- ilton and Chemung groups. It is a volume of xvii and 268 pages, and is illustrated with forty-five plates. Another volume in this series is to be issued during 1885, which will be a continuation of the Lamelli- branchiata. It is beliéved by the Trustees that under the provisions of this law this great and monumental work will be completed within the time designated. The fitting up of the State Hall for the Museum, as provided by the law of 1883, has been necessarily delayed by the continued occupation of the building by the State officers. It may still require some time for the removal of all the departments of the government into the new Capitol, and until this is accomplished the plans of the Trustees for ar- ranging the building cannot be carried out. In the mean time, how- ever, the importance of providing fire-proof storage for the more valua- ble treasures of the Museum has led them to make a beginning. The east side of the third story of the building has been vacated, as well as several rooms in the basement. Accordingly the Trustees procured a careful measurement of the building, and a study of the means by which it might be adapted to the future wants of the Museum. Mr. Perry, Commissioner of the Capitol, kindly and. gratuitously made the plans of the building and advised in reference to the repairs and changes _ which the building would require to adapt it to the purposes intended. Professor Hall, with the aid of Professor J. C. Smock, prepared a care- fully devised scheme for the allotment of the space in the building. It is the purpose of the Trustees to carry out this plan and this allotment as rapidly as the room is vacated. The available space in the third story has been fitted up with drawers for the working and storage rooms of the future Museum, and the removal of the material to these rooms has been begun and will be carried forward as fast as possible. It was found by the architect, when work on the rooms was begun, that the building itself was in need of material repairs. The roof re- quired a thorough overhauling, and the chimneys and walls, and all the floors, not only in the rooms but the corridors, required to be relaid. bs 4 eel State MusEeumM OF NATURAL HISTORY. 5 For the use of the building in the manner proposed it will require many additional changes. An elevator in the building is absolutely neces- sary, and some comprehensive system of heating by steam must be in- troduced. ‘These changes and repairs in the building itself were not contemplated in the original law. The appropriation was intended and is probably sufficient for the fitting up with cases and furniture of the entire building. But the Trustees will be compelled to ask for the means to put the balding itself in proper order for the full occupancy of the Museum. The Trustees commend this great public institution to the continued liberality of the Legislature. It has been the work of many able men, and represents in a peculiar and noble sense the education, the culture, and the grandeur of the State. The Trustees are prepared to push for- ward the work of making this Museum, even more than now, useful to the State. They have plans for making it, in a true sense, a great educa- tional center, from which influences shall reach every college and school in the State. These plans await the settled occupancy of a suitable and safe home for its extensive collections. The Museum staff, as at present constituted, consists of James Hall, Director and State Geologist; J. A. Lintner, State Entomologist ; Charles H. Peck, State Botanist ; James W. Hall, assistant in charge of the zoological collections ; John Gebhard, special assistant and guide. Charles E. Beecher has also been employed upon the work of the Mu- seum in part, his services being otherwise given to the preparation of the Paleontology. It is proposed to.add to this list another principal assist- ant, who shall supervise the removal of the Museum, and, as far as pos: sible, leave the Director to give his time and strength to the- preparation of his great work on Paleontology. Respectfully submitted. H. R. PIERSON, Chancellor. pet % Ve. ahs A RAE +a . as aie @ Rs gv {7 a : 7 THE DIRECTOR...- = RE ) ra 7 oe ae 8 ALBANY, January 2, 1885. To the Honorable the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York :. , GENTLEMEN — I beg leave to communicate herewith the annual report upon the State Museum of Natural History, for the year 1884 (being the thirty-eighth report in the consecutive order); incliding a statement of the condition of the collections in the several departments, and the additions made thereto, a general account of the work done, and an enumeration of the publications made during the past year. Since presenting my last report, the thirty-fifth, thirty-sixth and thirty- seventh Museum reports have all been issued, and also the reports of the State Geologist for the years 1882, 1883 and 1884, have all been printed and are ready for delivery. Some of these reports have been a long time awaiting publication, greatly to our disadvantage. In order to complete the series of State Museum reports, we now re- - quire the reprinting of the thirty-second report, which exists only as a legislative document. As I have heretofore stated, there was no legislative order for the usual number of extra copies of that report, and the same was published without the map and plates which accompanied the report in its presentation to the Legislature. No copies of this report have ever been in the hands of the Regents, or of the Director, for public distribution, and it is very important that it should be republished _- without delay. In the thirty-fifth report I have communicated a statement of the dis- tribution of certain collections of fossils and minerals to colleges, normal schools, high schools and academies up to the date of that report. This statement does not include many smaller collections, of which we have no record, In the same report, I furnished a list of species of fossils used in the illustration of Vol. V, Part II, of the Paleontology of New York; to this I shall have occasion to refer more particularly. I also presented a catalogue ®f the Unionidz of the Gould collection, _ of the New York State collection, and of the general collections of the Museum; also of the species of land shells of the United States possessed by the Museum. To these was added a list of the species of shells pre- sented to the Museum by the late Dr. James Lewis, of Mohawk, N. Y. These catalogues may be of sufficient interest to have them printed 8 ee ei ANNUAL Report OF TH separately from ae report, both for use in the Museum and for distri- bution to collectors and others. In the same report, Mr. George B. Simpson contributed an important paper on the Anatomy and Physiology of Anodontasfluviatilis. A pre- liminary Notice, Part I,* of the LAMELLIBRANCHIATA, Monomyaria has been published in the same report, in order both to give a wider circu- lation of the specific descriptions, and to fulfil a promise made many — years since in the preliminary Notice, No. II, published in 1870. The descriptions of corals (here published with illustrations) were issued in advance in pamphlet form in 1882. With the thirty-fifth report, in 1882, I spiperra eae! a preliminary notice of some fossil reticulate sponges of the family Dictyospongide. The same, accompanied by illustrations, was read before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, at the Montreal meeting in 1882, with a discussion of the relations of Dictyophyton, Phragmodic- tya, and similar forms with Uphantenia. The investigation was at that time incomplete, and it became impessible to finish the work in the time required for the publication of the report. The plates now pub- lished were lithographed in 1882, and a partial synopsis of the genera and species is given in this report. In the mean time the drawings, beyond — those already lithographed, have been completed, the whole making about twenty quarto plates. The descriptions, amounting to about ninety pages of manuscript; were finished in April, 1884. The whole now awaits the determination of the Board of the Regents as to its mode of pub- lication. This manuscript, together with the figures arranged on cards, will be laid before you. © A list of the titles of papers in these several reports named, and of the plates illustrating the same, will be appended to this report. CURRENT WoRK OF THE MUSEUM. The work of the Museum, in the care and preservation of the collec- © tions already arranged in the cases and drawers, has been carried on as usual. In the Zodlogical collection, the stuffed skins of mammals and birds have been cleaned and rearranged. The jars of alcoholic specimens have been cleaned and refilled. The collection of skulls and skeletons - of mammals have been removed from their-cases, cleaned and rearranged. and also the stuffed skins and skeletons gf fishes. The cases of Kchi- nodermata and Radiata have been cleaned and the collections rearranged. The Historical and Antiquarian collections have also received the nec- ° essary attention for their preservation. The work of cutting and preparing translucent sections of corals and joy SRS EAN eS ee eee * This paper was communicated with a preven report but afterward withdrawn and again communicated with the Thirty-fifth Report Srate Muszum oF NATURAL HISTORY. i) other fossils, and the cutting, shaping and polishing of specimens, has been continued as in former years. Our facilities for accomplishing this work have been brought into requisition, in preparing specimens for the New York State exhibit in the New Orleans Industrial Expo- sition. During the past year, 683 sections have been cut and polished, besides the cutting and polishing of many larger specimens. The records of additions to the library, and to the collections, are appended to this report. The examination and partial analysis of nu- merous specimens of rocks, ores or other minerals, of which written or oral information has been given, regarding their character and value, has occupied considerable time. This information has been given from an inspection of the specimens or testing for certain metals which they were supposed to contain. This work has been done, with a view of benefiting the parties interested, and generally with a hope of saving them the expenditure of money in analysis of specimens which every mineralogist or geologist knows to be of no practical or economic value. The Emmons collection of crystallized minerals has been cleaned, packed in boxes, and taken to the State Hall for arrangement in the cases in the south-east room of the upper story, to remain until the rooms assigned to the entire mineralogical collection shall be prepared for its reception. The report of the Botanist will show you that in original research an unusual amount of work has been done in his department. The preparation and study of new material has been going on in the palzontological department, especially among the Corals, the Bryozoans and the Lamellibranchiata ; likewise the study of the reticulate sponges preparatory to publication. Since the first part of the fifth volume of Palzontology — Lamellibranchiata I— was published, the collections of species there described, belonging to the Museum, have been carefully labeled and arranged in drawers. This portion of the collection is now ready for the selection of the Museum series, and the distribution of duplicates to the colleges and academies. Some progress has been made in the preparation and study of the microscopic sections of the fossil Brachiopoda. The thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth Museum reports contain plates illustrating some of the work done. During the year about 200 microscopic sections were made, and twenty-four photographic negatives prepared. A well-equipped photo- graphic dark room has been constructed in one of the working-rooms of _ the State Hall, and during the coming year it is proposed to devote some time to the furtherance of these investigations. Early in the last year many boxes of fossils were packed with the inten- tion of storing them in the basement of the State Hall, but while we had not entire possession of the building, and until we could come into 2 10 THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ee complete control of the various rooms, it would have been unwise to use them for the storage of valuable specimens. The specimens to which I refer as prepared for removal, consist principally of large corals from the Upper Helderberg group, together with smaller specimens occupying several hundred drawers. It is hoped that during the present year the entire collection of fossil corals may be removed to the new quarters — provided for them in the State Hall, and be properly arranged in drawers. 3 During the months of October, November and December, much time was spent by the Museum staff in preparing material for the State exhibit at the New Orleans Exposition. Owing to the limited time for prepara- tion, and the small fund available, the exhibit is not as full nor as im- portant as we could wish, still a fair display of the natural resources of New York is presented. Some of the leading features of the exhibit are as follows: A geological column composed of large blocks of stone, representing the character and succession of the several rock formations of the State. A collection of fossils containing the representive faunas of the New York palzozoic formations, comprising 323 entries, accompanied by a duplicate collection of 168 entries. The principal building and ornamental stones of the State, the iron ores, and economic minerals were largely represented. Copies of the lithographed plates of the Palzontology of New York, illustrating several classes of fossils, together with microscopic sections of the shells of Brachiopoda, and photo-micrographs of the same. COLLECTIONS IN THE FIELD. ; Considerable field-work became necessary for procuring the material destined for the New Orleans Exposition, and the Museum will profit “4 by the accession of specimens collected, and by donations from parties who also contributed liberally to the Exposition material. These will be enumerated and due credit given to the contributors. Five boxes of fossils were collected from the Chemung and Waverly groups of Warren county, Pennsylvania. These rocks are adjoining and a continuation of the New York formations, also a series of rock speci- mens to represent a section at that locality, from data furnished by Mr. F. A. Randall, and supplemented by the observations of Mr. C. E. Beecher. A geological section has been drawn to the scale of one inch to 100 feet, representing 1,900 feet of ‘strata. The lower 1,100 feet show the rocks passed through in drilling for petroleum. This work is valuable in determining the probable horizon of the Panama conglomerate and)1 its relations to the oil-bearing sands. _A collection of geological specimens was made from the Oneida con- State Museum oF NATURAL HIsToRY. 8 3 glomerate and Clinton group, near Ilion, N. Y. These will be useful in the Museum exchanges. __ Two boxes of fossils and several large blocks of coralline limestone were obtained from Schoharie, and will afford valuable material for translucent sections of corals. The additions to the various departments of the Museum, during the year 1884, will be found recorded in detail in the lists appended. In the Botanical department, 151 species of plants have been received from twerlty-three contributors. The State Botanist has collected 192 species of plants, of which 116 are new to the herbarium. The Zodlogical collections have received specimens from four con- tributors. The principal addition is a collection of sixteen species of Achatinella, from Dr. W. D. Hartman, of West Chester, Pennsylvania. The collections in Geology and Paleontology have received by dona- tion sixteen specimens from six contributors, and by collection five boxes of fossils from Warren county, Pennsylvania; one box of fossils from Troy, N. Y., two boxes of Oneida conglomerate, Clinton iron ore and Clinton gray sandstone from Ilion, N. Y., two boxes of fossil corals from the coralline limestone of Schoharie, one box of fossils from Cort- land, and nineteen large blocks of stone representing the Utica slate, Hudson river group, Tentaculite limestone, and Oriskany sandstone. Eleven specimens have been added by purchase, among which are seven very large and perfect examples of fossil reticulate sponges, from the — Chemung group of Steuben county. By donation and exchange, the library has received eighty-three books and pamphlets ; ten volumes have been added by purchase. The preparation for working and storage rooms in the upper story of the State Hall is so far advanced that some of the rooms may be occu- pied at once, and with the concurrence of the Secretary of the Board of Regents, I have already commenced to remove some of the valuable col- lections from the present Museum building to these rooms, which offer almost perfect security against fire. In this connection, and in regard to other collections of especial value now remaining in the present Museum building, I beg leave to call your attention to a recommenda- tion made in my last report* regarding the removal of such as these from the present unsafe Museum building to the State Hall, where they may be temporarily arranged or otherwise provided for. Should this _ proposition meet the approval of the Trustees, I would ask for authority to transfer the same as early as practicable. Should it be necessary to remove some of the material now on public exhibition in the cases, I would suggest that other specimens be sub- stituted from the duplicate collections. Nearly all the material which * Thirty-seventh Report on the State Museum of. N atural History, page 23. de THIKTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Ihave suggested to be removed may be placed in drawers, and the remainder may be provided with floor cases, as now arranged in the Museum, The upper story of the State Hall contains nine large rooms, of which five are situated to the east of the large corridor and are now in the possession of the Regents.. These five rooms have been numbered for convenience 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, beginning at the north-east corner of the building. The rooms with even numbers are on the west side of the corridor and are now used for the storage of State documents, except room No. 2, which contains cases and furniture, and’ lithographed — plates belonging to the State Museum. Room No. 1, on the north-east corner, is designed as a Hibraey and study for the Director. It is furnished with book-cases, desks, ete. _ Room No. 3, adjacent to the preceding, contains thirty ranges of drawers, two and one-half inches deep, with twenty-four drawers in each range, making in all, 720 drawers. It is intended to use this room for the reception of collections which are being studied and described for the Palzontology of New York. The cases and drawers in this and the other rooms are finished in oak ‘and are very substantial and elegant in appearance. No. 5 has twenty ranges of drawers with twenty-four drawers in each range. This room was without light and used as a store-room for stoves, boxes, etc. A large sky-light has been put in which converts it into a well-lighted and useful room. A photographic dark-room has also been constructed in the south-east corner of this room, with complete arrange- ments for pursuing the work of photo-micrography already begun. The cases of drawers in No. 5 are designed for the collection of fossil corals of the Hamilton group. Room No. 7 is especially adapted for the large collection of the fossil corals of the upper Helderberg group, and has twenty-three ranges of drawers three inches in depth, and seven ranges of drawers four inches in depth. No. 9, on the south-east corner of the building, is a large, well-lighted room, and is intended to be used as a working-room for the arrangement and distribution of collections. It is furnished with cases along one side containing 288 drawers. The rooms as now finished are arranged to contain 2,067 drawers, distributed as follows: Room No. 3 will contain 720 drawers. Room No. 5 will contain 480 drawers. Room No. 7 will contain 579 drawers. Room No. g will contain 288 drawers. At the time of present writing there are 740 drawers fitted in the cases and ready for use. « TA 7 STratTE MusrEuM OF NATURAL HISTORY. 13 - When the present and proposed arrangements have been completed, the Museum will have the most convenient and Ate working rooms of any similar institution in the country. The Gould types of shells, and some other rare forms may be trans- ferred to a safe position in the State Hall, and unless the Museum were to engage in some special biological work, there appears no reason to recommend the appointment of any special assistant in the department of Zodlogy. Since the State Museum of Natural History was placed in charge of ‘the present Director, workers in this department have increased more than a hundred fold, and avery large number of them are afforded facilities for investigation, from the various organizations sustained either by the general government or by richly endowed institutions, such as our limited means could never afford. Professor A. Agassiz, the Director of the Museum of Comparative Zodlogy at Cambridge, presents in his last report some very important considerations regarding the management of museums and their collec- tions. Inthe course of his discussions he remarks that “since the foundation of this Museum the conditions for scientific research in this country have greatly changed. ‘The general government has now un- dertaken, in connection with the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, with the Geological Survey, with the National Museum, and with the United States Fish Commission, an amount of scientific inves- tigation in various directions which makes it a mere waste of time for those not officially connected with these government establishments to undertake certain lines of work. Recognizing this, it becomes at once apparent that it is a mere waste of time and money for us to continue accumulations of collections which will most certainly be duplicated at Washington or New York, and that, beyond a very limited appeal to the public in the collections placed on exhibition, we should expend our resources only in the direction of fostering such original: work as may most efficiently be conducted by the professors holding endowed chairs in our University.” In this matter I would advise that the present collections be rear- ranged and relabeled, and that the only special efforts in this depart- ment be directed toward a full representation of the Zodlogy of the State of New York, in its principal divisions, which could be done ata moderate cost, and thus leave the resources of the Museum to be used in sustaining those departments wherever. original research is required to be carried on. Since we have dispensed with the services of a special assistant in the department of Zodlogy, and the services of a special taxidermist, the collection have been cared for and preserved in as good condition as 14 THIRTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE ne formerly. The additions made are not large, and there appears no good - reason for incurring much expense in that direction. So long as the collections can be preserved from the ordinary destructive agencies by the present Museum staff, I see no reason for appointing special assist- ants to perform the work. Were we even to look upon the matter in its worst possible aspect, the salary of a special assistant would, in five years, be sutficient to replace the entire collection with fresh speci- mens. Of the stuffed skins, none can be regarded as types, or of special historic interest, and only a few of them are rare and difficult to be — procured. I would therefore recommend that the special work which | has heretofore devolved upon these assistants be henceforth performed, as in the past two years, by the assistant in charge of the Zoological de- partment, with such temporary aid as he may require from time to time.

APPENDIX B. - MINERALS. ‘This list is here presented not as a catalogue, but rather as a guide to the collection. It is a transcript of the labels upon the specimens, with some additions of mineralogical terms necessary to proper expla- nation, and the insertion of specific names in some cases, to make the arrangement conformable to the newer systems of classification. Wher- ever the localities could be recognized with certainty from the characters and known occurrence, they have been added. Doubts as to species and localities are indicated by the mark ot interrogation. A few excep- tions in the order of arrangement are due to a difference in the deter- mination of the species, otherwise the arrangement in the cases and the order of numbering conform to the mineralogical system: The order of the list and of the collection in the cases agree; beginning at the west of the stairway in the case against the south wall in the third story, it continues to the corner and thence along the west wall to the front or street wall of the building. The reading is from left to right and from top downward in the several sections of the cages. The sources of this general collection are in part here stated. All the specimens coming from the Van Rensselaer, Simms and Gebhard collections are thus credited. A few other donors are mentioned under their respective gifts. The Brazilian collection was a. donation from the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro. The list of minerals and ores in it was printed in the nineteenth annual report of the Regents on the State Cabinet, 1866. The Pickett collection, principally one of fossils, was purchased for the Museum in 1867.* The minerals in it are mostly from Lockport, N. Y., and from New England. The Simms collection, consisting of minerals, fossils and ethnological implements, with some historical relics, was added, by purchase in 1870.t The minerals of the Gebhard collection were received in 1872.[ This collection was purchased for its fossils, and the minerals were incidental to it. The localities are omitted on many of the original labels. The minerals of the Van Rensselaer collection were added in 1872.8 They were collected mainly in New England by the late Dr. Jeremiah Van Rensselaer, and the collection was the gift of Mrs. Van Rensselaer _ through T. L. Harison, Secretary of the New York State Agricultural Society. Owing to the bad condition of the wrappings and labels through exposure in a damp storage place previous to their reception, the localities were not identified. * Twenty-first Annual Re pe on Museum, pp. 20-21. + Twenty-fourth Annual Report on State Museum, pp. 6, 7 and 27-28. } Twenty-sixth Annual Report on State Museum, p. 7. § Twenty-sixth Annual Report on State Museum, pp. 7, 8 and 19.

The collection of zeolites and other minerals given to the Museum by Prof. A. R. Leeds, of Stevens’ Institute, Hoboken, N. J., also deserves mention here. It came in 1877.* The specimens other than in collections above mentioned are, in part, the donations of many individuals, who have thus favored the Museum. They are referred to in the annual reports of the Regents on | the State Cabinet and the State Museum.t A large part of this general collection has been gathered incidentally through the efforts of the Director and the numbers thus obtained cannot now be indicated.

The covering epi- dermis generally ruptures longitudinally. The spores are much more narrow in this thanin L. Crepini and L. Marcyensis, both of which in- habit species of Lycopodium. Metaspheria Myrice, 7. sp. Plate 2, figs. 24-27. Perithecia numerous, broadly conical, .016 to.o21 in broad, covered by the thin closely-adhering epidermis, black, white within, ostiola pertuse ; asci clavate, obtuse, .004 to .oo05 in. long, .0006 to .0008 broad ; spores crowded or biseriate, oblong or subfusiform, straight or slightly curved, at first uniseptate, quadrinucleate, strongly constricted at the middle sep- tum, finally triseptate, colorless, .oor2 to .0016 in. long, .o004 to .c005 broad ; the paraphyses numerous, conglutinate.: Dead branches of Myrica Gale lying partly in water. Caroga. July. .The epidermis is so closely adherent that the perithecia appear as. if superficial or merely innate at the base. The nuclei of the spores are large. Spores with three septa are rare, but this may be due to the immature condition of the specimens. 14 106 THIRTY-EIGHTH REPORT ON THE STATE Museum. Sphzrulina sambucina, nz. sp. Perithecia minute, numerous, closely gregarious, unequal and i ltregu- — lar, orbicular, oblong or even flexuous, covered by the epidermis, erum- pent, opening by a pore or a narrow-chink, black , asci clavate or sub- cylindrical, .co3 to .co5 im. long, about ooos broad, aparaphysate ; spores crowded or biseriate, oblong-clavate, constricted at the middle septum, five to seven-septate, colorless, .cocg to .cor2 m. long, -0003 to .00035 broad, the lower half more narrow than the upper.

This is apparently related to S. infermizia, and, like that-species, it is remarkable for its anomalous and irregular perithecia, but it 1s distin- guished from it by its longer asci and longer spores, strongly constricted in the middle, and with more numerous septa, Cryptospora Cary2, #. sp.

A form oecurs on the Helderberg mountains which bears two pani- cles, or clusters of flowers. One is much smaller than the other, and is usually about three flowered. VIOLA CUCULLATA, All. The variety with peduncles, much longer than the peticles (var. longipes), is common in wet places in the Adirondack region. It blos- soms there about the middle of June. ’ \ a eS REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 107 HYPERICUM ELLIPTICUM, Hook. A small form with stems eight to twelve inches high, and leaves erect and appressed, was found in wet places by the roadside in Caroga. This position of the leaves gives a peculiar aspect to the plants. Ruus Typuina, L. The form with laciniate leaves has been found near Nyack, Rock- land county, by Rev. J. L. Zabriskie. Rosa SETIGERA, M2. Low ground near West Albany. Introduced from the West. Ruesus Hispipus, L. Common in Caroga and not infrequent with five-foliate leaves on _ the young stems. FEDIA RADIATA, Mz, | Wynantskill, Rensselaer county. H.C. Gordinier. This is a form with smooth fruit. ARALIA NUDICAULIS, L. A form with no leaf but with the scape bearing four to six umbels at the apex and a branch near or below the middle. This branch is ter- minated by a single umbel, and probably represents the usual leaf. ARALIA HISPIDA, Uz... This sometimes grows with great vigor in the Adirondack region. A specimen was found in Caroga, more than three feet high and bearing upwards of forty umbels, the large central and terminal one being two and a half inches in diameter. CUPHEA VISCOSISSIMA, Jacq. This plant appears to be gradually extending its range northward in the Hudson river valley. It has occurred in the vicinity of Pine Plains and at Salt Point, Dutchess county, and the past season it was detected near Catskill by Judge Clinton. On the authority of Drs. Stevenson and Knieskern it was reported in the State Flora as an inhabitant of the “ northern part of the State,” but I suspect this is a mistake. TussILAGO Farrara, L. Abundant on clay banks about Albany and Troy. In rare instances the leaves appear while the plant is yet in flower. The rays assume a reddish hue with age and the scapes become elongated. HIERACIUM AURANTIACUM, L. This plant has become well established in many parts of the State and is still spreading. The past season it was observed in Fulton county, where it had evidently escaped from a flower garden to the roadside. VACCINIUM PENNSYLVANICUM, Lam. var. NIGRUM. Caroga, where it was growing sparingly with the ordinary form of the species. CASTILLEIA COCCINEA, Spreng. The usual habitat, ascribed to this species in the manuals, is wet ‘meadows and sandy low grounds. In Springwater, Livingston county, 108 ee REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. and in Canadice, Ontario county, it was found by Mr. D. Byron Waite growing on the “tops and sides of bare dry and sterile hills, and where low shrubs and moss abound.” HYDRANGEA ARBORESCENS, L. Wellsburg, Chemung county. &. A. Burt. POTAMOGETON Rossinstl, Oakes. Hudson river near Rhinebeck. H. Andrews. The plants were sterile as usual. HABENARIA ROTUNDIFOLIA, Mich. Turin, Lewis county. July. &. &. Hough. This is the second locality in the State for this rare plant. Mr. Hough informs me that it is difficult to obtain perfect specimens of this plant, most of the flowers being injured, apparently by some insect. TRILLIUM GRANDIFLORUM, Salisd. v. VARIEGATUM, This interesting variety or form has the leaves petiolate and the petals variegated with green, which is usually in the form of a broad longi- tudinal stripe through the middle. It was discovered in dense woods near Jamesville, Onondaga county, by members of the Syracuse Botan- ical Club, and specimens were contributed to the Herbarium by Mrs. L. L. Goodrich and Mrs. 8. UM. Rust. It has also been found on Goat Island by Hon. G. W. Clinton. In the Jamesville locality it was associated with Trilliwm erectum and typical 7. grandifiorum. In one specimen communicated by Mrs. Goodrich the petioles originate near the ground, the stem being very short. They are about three and a half inches long and the peduncle is five inches long. In other specimens these parts are less elongated and the form appears to be merged into the type. The specimens indicate a coincidence between the petioles, peduncles and green color of the petals. Generally the longer petioles are accompanied by longer peduncles and broader green stripes on the petals. This coincidence between form and color is remarkable. Juncus TriFiDus, L. Sam’s Point, Shawangunk mountains. Prof. NV. L. Britton. Probably this is the most southern station for this Juncus in our State. It occurs at Lake Mohunk and also on the high summits of the Adirondack mountains. SCIRPUS POLYPHYLLUS, Vahi. Catskill. G. W.

Milk at first bright-colored, unchangeable.* This group corresponds to the tribe Dapertes of Fries. In Europe there are but two species belonging to it ; in our State there are four, one of which, L. deliciosus, is common to this country and Europe. There is much similarity in our species, their most obvious differences being in color. The pileus in all is glabrous, slightly viscid when moist, more_or less zonate when young and moist, but becoming paler and less clearly zonate with age. The stem is hollow, at least when old, and often adorned with spots of the same color as the milk. The color of the milk pervades the whole plant, but it is less bright and clear except in the spots and the young lamelle. Bruises or wounds of the lamelle are apt to become greenish, and old plants are often stained with this hue. The spores in all are yellowish, and the taste is mild or slowly and moderately acrid. Probably all are edible, but only ZL. delicoosus has been tested. Lactarius Indigo, Schw. Blue Lactarius. Pileus at first umbilicate with the margin involute, then depressed or » infundibuliform, tndigo-blue with a silvery-gray lustre, zonate, espec- ially on the margin, sometimes spotted, becoming paler and less distinctly zonate with age or in drying; lamelle close, imdigo-blue, becoming yellowish and .sometimes greenish with age; stem short, nearly equal, hollow, often spotted with blue, colored like the pileus; spores subglo- bose, .0003 to .00035 in. long ; milk dark blue. Pileus 2 to 5 inches broad, stem 1 to 2 inches long, 6 to ro lines thick. Dry places, especially under or near pine trees. Not rare but seldom abundant. July to September. Lactarius subpurpureus, Peck. Purplish Lactarius. Pileus at first convex, then nearly plane or subinfundibuliform, more or less spotted and zonate when young and moist. dark-red with a grayish lustre ; lamelle close, dark-red, becoming less clear and some- times greenish-stained with age; stem equal or slightly tapering upward; soon hollow, often spotted with red, colored like the pileus, sometimes hairy at the base; spores subglobose, .00035 to .o004 in., milk dark-red. Pileus 2 to 3 in. broad, stem 1.5 to 3 in. long, 3 to 5 lines thick. Damp or mossy ground in woods and swamps. July and August. At once known by the peculiar dark-red or purplish hue of the milk, which color also appears in the spots of the stem and in a more subdued tone in the whole plant. The color of the pileus lamelle and stem is * Badham says that the milk of Z. deliciosus changes to a green color, but I have not observed such a change, 116 THIRTY-EIGHTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. modified by grayish and yellowish hues. In age and dryness the zones are less clear, and dried specimens can scarcely be distinguished from L. deliciosus. Lactarius deliciosus, /7. Delicious Lactarius. Agaricus deliciosus L. Pileus at first convex and subumbilicate, then nearly plane or subin- fundibuliform, yellowish-orange or grayish-orange varied. by brighter spots and zones, fading to grayish-yellow when old or dry; lamelle close, orange-colored with paler reflections, less clear and often greenish- stained with age; stem nearly equal, stuffed or hollow, often spotted, colored like the pileus, sometimes hairy at the base ; spores subglobose, .0003 to .coo4 in., milk orange-colored. 7 Pileus 2 to 5 in. broad, stem 2 to 4 in long, 4 to 8 lines thick. Woods and open places, but especially in mossy swamps. Common. July to September. Edible. This is the most common species of its group. It grows both in wet and in dry places, and in acerose, frondose or mixed woods. It has an excellent reputation as an edible fungus. Badham says it is one of the best of fungi and that its flesh is firm, juicy, sapid and nutritious. One writer pronounces it the most delicious mushroom known. The best method of cooking is said to be, to bake three-fourths of an hour in a close covered dish, having seasoned it with pepper, salt and butter. Badham states that the milk turns green on exposure to the air. Wounds of the flesh and lamellz often do, but I have not observed this change in the color of the milk. Lactarius Chelidonium, Peck. Celandine Lactarius. Pileus at first convex, then nearly plane and umbilicate or centrally depressed, grayish-yellow or tawny, at length varied with bluish and greenish stains, often with a few narrow zones on the margin, lamelle narrow, close, sometimes forked, anastomosing or wavy at the base, grayish-yellow; stem short, subequal, hollow, colored like the pileus ; spores globose, .0003 in.; milk sparse, saffron-yellow; taste mild. Pileus 2 to 3 in. broad, stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, 4 to 6 lines thick. Sandy soil, under or near pine trees. Saratoga and Bethlehem. The milk of this species resembles in color the juice of celandine, Chelidonium majus. It is paler than that of L. deliciosus. By this character and by the dull color of the pileus, the narrow lamelle, short stem and its fondness for dry situations, it may be separated from the other species. Wounds of the flesh are at first stained with the color of the milk, then with blue, finally with green. A saffron color 1s some- times attributed to the milk of Z. deliciosus, which may indicate that this species has been confused with that, or that the relationship of the two plants is a closer one than we have assigned to them. Milk at first white, changing color on exposure to the arr. In this group, wounds of the lamellz and flesh generally assume the changed color of the milk after a brief exposure to the air. -~ “ REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 117 Lactarius uvidus, 77”. Moist Lactarius. Pileus at first convex, then nearly plane or centrally depressed, glabrous, viscid, whitish, grayish-brown or livid-brown, generally with a slight tinge of pink, sometimes obscurely zonate or marked with darker spots, either with or without a small umbo; lamellz rather narrow, thin, close, white or yellowish, becoming lilac where cut or bruised ; stem equal or slightly tapering upward, stuffed or hollow, glabrous, viscid, whitish or pallid ; spores globose or broadly elliptical, yellowish, 00035 to .00045 in.; milk white, changing to lilac, taste acrid. Var. magnus. Plant large, pileus obscurely zonate or marked with > darker spots more or less concentrically arranged. Pileus 1 to 2 in. broad, stem 1.5 to 3 in. long, 3 to 6 lines thick. Wet mossy- places in woods and swamps. Adirondack mountains and Sandlake. July and August. This species is not very common. It is readily recognized by the lilac color assumed by the milk and the wounds of the flesh and lamelle. The variety occurs in Vermont where it was-observed by Mr. A P. Morgan. Lactarius chrysorheus, /’. Yellow-milk Lactarius. Agaricus zonarius, Bolt. Pileus convex, umbilicate or centrally depressed, becoming infundi- buliform, glabrous, yellowish, sometimes tinged with flesh-color, adorned with bright-colored zones and spots, the margin at first involute and pruinose-tomentose: lamellz thin, close, adnate or decurrent, yellowish, some of them forked; stem equal, glabrous, hollow, white or colored like the pileus, sometimes spotted ; spores subglobose, .0003 to .00035 in.; milk white, becoming yellow, taste acrid. Pileus 1 to 3 in. broad, stem 8 to 15 lines long, 3 to 5 lines thick. Thin woods or open places. Bethlehem and Sandlake. July and August. Not common. Fries describes this species as having a dry pileus, but in our speci- mens it appeared to be slightly viscid when moist. The milk in the European plant is said to change color quickly, in ours the change takes place slowly. The spots of the pileus are usually small and nu- merous and sometimes concentrically arranged. They, as well as the zones, have a golden-yellow or pale-orange hue. They, together with the color of the pileus, distinguish this species from the next, and the change in the color of the milk separates it from L.insulsus. The plant described in the Twenty-third Report under this name belongs to the next species. Lactarius theiogalus, /’. Sulphur-milk Lactarius. Agaricus theiogalus, Bull. Pileus fleshy, thin, convex, then depressed, even, glabrous, viscid, tawny-reddish ; lamelle adnate or decurrent, close, pallid or reddish ; ite THIRTY-EIGHTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. stem stuffed or hollow, even, colored like the pileus; spores yellowish, enclining to pale flesh-color, subglobose, .0003 to .00035 in.; milk white, changing to sulphur-yellow, taste tardily acrid, bitterish. Pileus 2 to 5 in. broad, stem 1 to 3 in. long, 4 to 10 lines thick. Woods and groves. Common. July to October. Our plant does not fully accord with the description of the species as given by Fries. The pileus is moderately thick and compact, varying from convex or nearly plane and umbilicate to depressed or infundibuli- form, slightly viscid when moist, zoneless or obscurely zonate, varying in color from pale grayish-red to tawny-red or brick-red, there being a | mixture of gray yellow and red not easily defined. Gillet describes the pileus as “tawny-red, clear brick-red, bistre-red or orange-yellow di- versely shaded.”’ It somewhat resembles LZ. torminosus in color, but the glabrous margin and changeable milk distinguish it. The surface of the pileus has a minutely uneven or unpolished appearance, but itis smooth to the touch. The lamelle are sometimes forked near the stem, whitish tinged with creamy-yellow or flesh color, and they often become stained with reddish-brown when old or bruised. The stem is generally paler than the pileus. It is commonly hollow, though sometimes stuffed or spongy within. Rarely it is spotted or stained with reddish-brown. When the flesh is cut or broken it soon assumes the pale-yellow color of the exposed milk. The taste is tardily or moderately acrid, or some- what woody and bitterish. Its less acrid taste, unspotted and more reddish pileus, distinguish it from the preceding species. According to Gillet it is pronounced edible by some authors, poisonous by others. Cordier says that the pileus is dry, that the stem is almost always stuffed, and that it passes for poisonous, but that Letellier has eaten it more than once without inconvenience. as at Lactarius resimus, /r. Recurved Lactarius. Pileus convex and umbilicate, then infundibuliform, even, glabrous, viscid, zoneless, whttish or pallid, the margin at first tnmvolute, white- tomentose, at length spreading, naked ; lamelle decurrent, whitish ; stem even or obsoletely spotted, villose, hollow, thick; milk guickly chang- ing to sulphur-yeilow, taste acrid.

Pileus 3 to 6 in. broad, stem 1.5 to 3 in. long, 6 to 12 lines thick. Wet, mossy ground in woods. Caroga. July. Rare. This Lactarius is similar to the preceding in size and shape, and like that, it sometimes has the margin naked when old, but it is distin- guished by its distinctly-spotted stem and more highly-colored pileus. Its color approaches that of L. theiogalus, but its generally hairy margin, together with its spotted stem and more acrid taste, will distinguish it from that species. It is not deemed edible. Lactarius cilicioides, /7. . Tomentose Lactarius. Agaricus tomentosus, Otto. Agaricus crinitus, Scheeff. Pileus broadly convex or nearly plane, umbilicate or centrally de- pressed, occasionally subinfundibuliform, soft, covered with long matted hairs or tomentum, the center sometimes becoming naked with age, zoneless, viscid when moist, white reddish-buff or dingy-incarnate ; lamelle rather narrow, thin, close, adnate or slightly decurrent, some of them forked, white, or tinged with yellow or incarnate ; stem short, equal or tapering downward, pruinose, stuffed or hollow, not spotted, white or whitish ; spores white, .ooo25 to .0003 in.; milk white, sparse, slowly changing to pale yellow, taste acrid. Var. albus. Pileus at first white, flesh white, stem short, milk very sparse or almost none. Pileus 1.5 to 4 in. broad, stem .5 to 1.5 in. long, 3 to 6 lines thick. Woods and open places, especially under or near pine trees. Forest- burgh, Karner, West Albany and Greig. September and October. The tomentose Lactarius is distinguished from all our other species by its conspicuously woolly pileus. It is this character that gives name to the plant. The hairs or fibrils are long and intricately matted, and so viscid in wet weather that fragments of leaves, sticks and dirt are of- ten found adhering to them. - The variety, which is found especially on sandy soil near pine trees, is white when young, but with age it is apt to become stained with a dirty-yellow or rusty-yellow hue, especially in the center. The milk is very sparse and sometimes wanting. The stem is so short that the pileus appears to rest on the ground. In the form which grows in woods the stem is longer, and the pileus approaches the next species in color. Fries describes the stem as two to three inches long and one inch thick, but I have seen no specimens with stems so large. The plant occurs in autumn, and sometimes several successive crops appear in the same locality in one season. It is sometimes subcespi- tose. Milk white or whitish, unchangeable. * Pileus viscid when moist. ’ 120 THIRTY-EIGHTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. Lactarius torminosus, /7. Colic Lactarius. Woolly Lactarius.

A. piperatus, L. - A, barbatus, Retz. ; Pileus convex, then depressed, viscid when young or moist, yellowish- red or pale-ochraceous tinged with red or flesh color, often varied with zones or spots, the at first involute margin persistently tomentose-hairy ; lamelle thin, close, narrow, whitish, often tinged with yellow or flesh color ; stem equal or slightly tapering downward, hollow, sometimes spotted, whitish; spores subglobose or broadly elliptical, .o0035 to .0004 in., milk white, taste acrid. Pileus 2 to 4 in. broad, stem 1.5 to 3 in. long, 4 to 8 lines thick. Woods. Adirondack mountains and Sandlake. August. This species differs from all the preceding by its unchangeable milk, and from all the following by the coarse tomentum 6r hairs of the mar- gin of the pileus. Badham says that it is acrid and poisonous, and Gil- let declares it to be deleterious and even dangerous, and that in the raw state it is a very strong drastic purgative. On che other hand Cor- dier states that almost all authors agree in saying that it is eaten with impunity, and that Letellier has eaten it more than once without in- convenience. Lactarius sordidus, Peck. Pileus thick, firm, convex and centrally depressed, then nearly plane or subinfundibuliform, subglabrous, slightly viscid when moist, soon dry, pale yellowish-brown, tinged with sordid green, often darker in the cen- ter ; lamellze narrow, close, white or yellowish; stem short, firm, equal or slightly tapering upward, hollow, colored like the pileus, generally spotted ; spores .0003 to .00035 in.; milk white, taste acrid. . Pileus 2 to 4 in. broad, stem 1 to 2 in. long, 4 to 8 lines thick. Woods and open places, especially under spruce and balsam trees. Adirondack mountains and Sandlake. August and September. This species appears to resemble L. ¢urpis Fr. in color, but that species differs, according to the description of Fries, in having the mar- gin of the pileus at first villose or tomentose, the stem stuffed, attenua- ted downward, not spotted, and the pileus covered with a tenacious gluten. Like it, our plant has a sordid, forbidding appearance. It sometimes appears to be adorned with a few obscure fibrils or to be slightly scabrous or hairy. Lactarius trivialis, 7’. Common Lactarius. Pileus convex, then nearly plane, umbilicate or centrally depressed, glabrous, viscid, sometimes zonate, leaden-gray, livid-cinereous or pale brown, often with a pink or lilac tint, the thin inflexed margin at first with a grayish pruinosity ; lamelle rather narrow, close, thin, adnate, sometimes forked, whitish, becoming pallid or creamy-yellow, with dingy-greenish stains where wounded ; stem equal or slightly tapering upward, long or short, glabrous, rarely spotted, hollow, whitish, often tinged with yellow or gray, paler than the pileus ; spores yellowish, .0003 to .ooo4 in.; milk whitish or pale cream color, taste acrid. REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 121, Var. maculatus. Pileus zonate or spotted and zonate, stem some- times spotted. Var. gracilis, Pileus small, 1 to 2 in. broad, stem equal to or longer than the diameter of the pileus, often tapering upward. Pileus 1 to 6 in. broad, stem 1 to 5 in. long, 3 to ro lines thick. Woods and open places. Sandlake, Albany and Adirondack moun- tains. July to September. A variable species. Some forms of our plant exhibit the characters attributed to the European fungus, others do not; but these forms all run together in such a way as to leave scarcely a doubt of their specific unity. I have therefore merely distinguished two of these forms as va- rieties. In all the forms the pileus is sometimes zonate, and in one it is spotted, though Fries describes the pileus as “azonate’’ and the stem as ‘‘immaculate.” In the variety maculatws a zonate pileus and spotted stem are sometimes united in the same plant. This form occurred in low woods in Gansévoort. The plants were large and the stem long. The variety gracilis was found in woods in Greig, and is so small and slender that it appears like a distinct species, yet exhibits the essential specific characters. The thin pellicle of the pileus is separable and the whitish flesh has a dingy or grayish hue immediately beneath it. The plant is sometimes czspitose. Lactarius hysginus, /’. Reddish Lactarius. Agaricus vietus, Krombh. Pileus rigid, at first convex, then nearly plane, umbilicate or slightly depressed, even, viscid, zoneless or rarely obscurely zonate, reddish- incarnate, tan-color or brownish-red, becoming paler with age, the thin margin inflexed ; lamellz close, adnate or subdecurrent, whitish, be- coming yellowish or cream colored ; stem equal, glabrous, stuffed or hol- low, colored like the pileus, or a little paler, sometimes spotted ; spores subglobose, whitish on black paper, yellowish on white paper, .c0035 to .0004 in.; milk white, taste acrid. Pileus 2 to 3 in. broad, stem 1 to 2 in. long, 4 to 8 lines thick. Woods. Sandlake and Caroga. July and August. Not common. The reddish hue of the pileus distinguishes this species from its allies. The gluten or viscidity of the pileus in our specimens was rather tena- cious and persistent. Lactarius affinis, Peck. Related Lactarius. Pileus convex and centrally depressed, glabrous, viscid, zomeless, ochraceous-yellow ; lamellz rather broad, subdistant, whitish or creamy- yellow, some of them forked; stem equal, glabrous, stuffed or hollow, colored like the pileus, often spotted; spores .00035 to .ooo4s5 in.; milk white, taste acrid. Pileus 2 to 4 in. broad, stem 1 to 2 in. long, 6 to 12 lines thick. Pastures and copses. Catskill mountains. October. Rare. I have observed this species but once. Mr. Morgan has found a stout form of itin Vermont. In his specimens the stem is conspicu- ously spotted, in the New York specimens sparingly. The species is 16 122 THIRTY-EIGHTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. closely related to L. insulsws, but apparently distinct by its darker color, broader, looser lamellz and zoneless pileus. It appears to be in- termediate between that species and L. hysginus. Lactarius insulsus, /’. Unsavory Lactarius. Agaricus flecuosus, Secr. Pileus convex and umbilicate, then infundibuliform, cantons viscid, more or less zonate, yellowish, the margin naked; lamellae thin, close adnate or decurrent, some of them forked at the base, whitish or pallid ; stem equal or slightly tapering downward, stuffed or ‘hollow, whitish or yellowish, generally spotted ; spores .o003 to .00035 in.; milk white, taste acrid. Pileus 2 to 4 in. broad, stem 1 to 2 in. long, 4 to 6 lines thick. Thin woods and open, grassy places. Greenbush and Sandlake. July and August. Our plant has the pileus pale yellow or straw color, and sometimes nearly white, but European forms have been described as having it orange-yellow and brick-red. It is generally, though often obscurely, zonate. The zones are ordinarily more distinct near the margin, where they are occasionally very narrow and close. The milk in the Green- bush specimens had a thin, somewhat watery appearance. Authors dif- fer in their estimate of its qualities, some affirming that it is edible, others that it is poisonous. It is classed as edible in the Curtis Cata- logue, and Cordier says that it appears to be edible. Lactarius cinereus, Peck. Cinereous Lactarius. Pileus thin, nearly plane and wmbilicate or subinfundibuliform, glabrous, viscid, pale gray or cunereous, the disk sometimes darker col- ored ; lamellz narrow, close, white ; stem equal or slightly tapering up- ward, stuffed, sometimes tomentose at the base, colored like the pileus ; spores white, .coo28 to .c003 in.; milk white, taste acrid. Pileus 1 to 2 in. broad, stem 1 to 3 in. long, 3 to 4 lines thick. Woods. Sandlake and Greig. August and September. The species is evidently closely allied to LZ. vietws Fr., but I have never seen the pileus umbonate or expallent, nor the milk become gray, characters attributed to that species. In our plant the viscid pel- licle is separable. In shape and size it resembles L. trivialis v. gracilis, but its paler usually umbilicate pileus, concolorous stem and white spores separate it. Mr. Morgan finds, in Vermont, a Se larger form with the pileus sometimes zonate. ** Pileus not viscid. | + Pileus minutely tomentose or squamulose. Lactarius griseus, Peck. Gray Lactarius. Pileus thin, nearly plane, broadly umbilicate or centrally depressed, sometimes infundibuliform, generally with a small umbo or papilla, REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 123 minutely sguamulose tomentose, gray or brownish-gray, becoming paler with age; lamelle thin, close, adnate or slightly decurrent, whitish or yellowish; stem slender, equal or slightly tapering upward, rather fragile, stuffed or hollow, generally villose o: tomentose at the base, paler than or colored like the pileus,; spores .0003 to .00035 in.; milk white, taste subacrid. Pileus 6 to 18 lines broad, stem 1 to 2 in. long, 1 to 3 lines thick. Woods and swamps on much decayed wood and mossy ground. Common. July to September. The relationship of this species is with ZL. mammosus Fr., from which it differs in its lamellz, which do not become ferruginous, and in its stem which is not pubescent, though it generally has long coarse tom- | entose hairs at its base. Its habitat also is peculiar, being much | decayed mossy prostrate trunks or damp mossy vegetable mold in woods and swamps. It bears some resemblance to L. cnereus in form and color, but it is generally smaller, and easily distinguished by its dry tomentulose pileus. Lactarius glyciosmus, Fragrant Lactarius. Scented Lactarius. PiJeus thin, convex nearly plane or depressed, often with a small umbo or papilla,- minutely squamulose, cinereous, grayish-brown or smoky-brown, sometimes tinged with pink, the margin even or slightly and distinctly striate; lamelle narrow, close, adnate or decurrent, whitish or yellowish; stem equal, glabrous or obsoletely pubescent, stuffed, rarely hollow, whitish or colored like the pileus; spores .0003 to .00035 in.; milk white, taste acrid and unpleasant, sometimes bitterish, odor aromatic. Pileus 6 to 18 lines broad, stem 6 to 18 lines long, 1 to 3 lines thick. Woods and open places on the ground and on decaying wood Adirondack mountains, West Albany and Karner. September and October. The distinctive characters of the species are its small size, squamulose pileus and agreeable odor. This is described by European authors as spirituous or like that of alcohol, but to me it resembles rather that of dry melilot and is not much unlike that of LZ. camphoratus. The American plant, so far as observed, does not have the red hues ascribed to the European. Lactarius alpinus, Peck. - Alpine Lactarius. Pileus thin, convex or nearly plane, sometimes centrally depressed, uccasionally with a small umbo or papilla, tomentose or squamulose, tawny-ochraceous; lamelle close, adnate or decurrent, yellowish; stem equal or slightly tapering upward, glabrous, solid or stuffed, paler than or colored like the pileus ; spores .0003 to .00035 in.; milk whife, taste acrid. Pileus 8 to 18 lines broad, stem 12 to 18 lines long, 2 to 3 lines thick Summit ot Haystack mountain and Karner. August. Rare. Apparently allied to L. helvus Fr, but so much smaller that I can scarcely think it the same species and have for the present kept it dis- tinct. The plants resemble L. swbduleis in size and somewhat in color, 124 THIRTY-EIGHTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. but differ in their squamulose pileus. The specific name proves to be inappropriate, as the species has been found in a much lower region than that of its original discovery. Lactarius helvus, /7. Pale-red Lactarius. Pileus fleshy, fragile, convex, then plane or depressed, subumbonate, dry, selky or floccose-squamulose and rivulose, pale-testaceous, becoming paler; lamelle decurrent, thin, close, whitish-ochraceous; stem stuffed or hollow, pruinose-pubescent; milk sparse, subacrid, white. Var. aguifluus. L. aquifluus Peck. Milk sparse, watery, taste mild or subacrid , spores .0003 to .00035 in.; odor weak in the fresh plant, more decided in the dried specimens, aromatic and agreeable. Pileus 2 to 6 in. broad, stem 3 to 6 in. long, 4 to 1o lines thick. Mossy ground in swamps and marshes. Adirondack mountains, Sandlake and Karner. July and August. Our specimens agree so closely with the description of L. helvus, as given by Fries, and of which a translation is here given, that we Have referred them to that species, distinguishing them merely as a variety on account of the watery milk. Fries regards such a milk as belonging to a degenerate or abnormal state of the species, and the result of too much moisture. But unless L. alpinus, shall prove to be a dwarf form of L. helvus, only this form of the species has been detected within our limits and indeed in this country. It scarcely seems probable that a species would occur constantly and repeatedly, in various widely separated localities, in a degenerate condition only. It would seem probable that occasionally, in a dry time or in a more dry locality, it would revert to its normal condition. But this has not yet been observed to happen in our plant, therefore we have pre- ferred to consider it a variety. The milk sometimes presents a slightly turbid appearance, less clear than water. The pileus becomes quite fragile when old, and the thin margin is then spreading and sometimes flexuous. The color is a grayish-red or pale tawny-red. The stem is nearly equal, but in young plants it is often narrowed toward the apex. It is glabrous or pruinose and soon hollow, often a little paler than the pileus and slightly striate at the apex from the decurrent lamella. The flesh is tinged with pink or a pale pinkish-gray. The plant is sometimes czespitose. Lactarius vellerius, /7. Fleecy Lactarius. Agaricus Lastert Sow. A. prperatus Poll. Pileus compact, at first convex and umbilicate, then expanded and centrally depressed or subinfundibuliform, the whole surface minutely velvety-tomentose, soft to the touch, white or whitish, the margin at first involute, then reflexed; lamelle distant or subdistant, adnate or decur- rent, sometimes forked, whitish becoming yellowish or cream-colored ; stem firm, solid, equal or tapering downward, pruinose-pubescent, white; spores white, nearly smooth, .coo3 to .00035 in.; milk white, taste acrid. Pileus 2 to 5 1n. broad, stem .5 to 2 in. long, 6 to 16 lines thick. Woods and open places. Common. July to September. REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 125 The soft downy tomentum which is characteristic of this species and which covers the whole pileus gives it a pruinose appearance when viewed from a little distance. The stem is generally short and is some- times broader than long. ‘The lamelle vary in width from two to four lines and are generally about equal in width to the thickness of the pileus. They become stained where bruised. The milk, which is some- times quite abundant in wet weather, exudes from wounds and dries into cream-colored gummy granules. The taste is very acrid. Cordier states that it is poisonous according to some authors, edible according to Leveille. Lactarius deceptivus, Peck. Deceptive Lactarius. Pileus compact, at first convex and umbilicate, then expanded and centrally depressed or subinfundibuliform, odbsoletely tomentose or gla- brous except on the margin, white or whitish, often varied with yellow- ish or sordid stains, the margin at first involute and clothed with a dense, soft or cottony tomentum, then spreading or elevated and more or less fibrillose ; lamelle rather broad, distant or subdistant, adnate or decur- rent, some of them forked, whitish, becoming cream colored ; stem equal or narrowed downward, solid, pruinose-pubescent, white; spores white, .00035 to .0005 in.; milk white, taste acrid. Pileus 3 to 5 in. broad, stem 1 to 3 in. long, 8 to 18 lines thick. Woods and open places, especially under hemlock trees. Common. July to September. This plant appears to have been confused with J. vellerews, which it closely resembles, but from which it appears to me to be quite distinct, both in the character of the tomentum of the pileus and in its de- cidedly larger and rougher spores. The young pileus is clothed with a thin, silky tomentum, which, on the involute margin, is quite thick, but very soft and cottony, and sometimes striated with parallel impressions, produced by previous pressure against the edges of the lamelle. In the mature plant the pileus appears nearly or quite glabrous, or is merely shaggy fibrillose on the margin. Sometimes the cuticle seems to be slightly rimose, and the surface then has a kind of scaly appearance. The lamelle are as broad and distant as in L. vellerews, but the stem is generally a little longer in the present species than it isin that. The glabrous form of this species was referred to L. puperatus in the Twenty- third Report. An experiment of its edible qualities was made without any evil consequences. ‘The acridity was destroyed by cooking. tt Pileus glabrous or merely pruinose or pruinose-pubescent, not sqguamulose.

Pileus 1.5 to 4 in. broad, stem -5 to 2 in. long, 5 to ro lines thick. Thin woods, pastures and grassy places. Common. July to Sep- cember. The glabrous or sometimes merely pruinose pileus, the crowded and frequently forked narrow lamellz separate this species from the other white ones. The lamellz are one to two lines broad, their width being less than the thickness of the flesh of the pileus. The stem is either very short or quite long, according to the place of growth, it being longer when growing in woods among fallen leaves than when growing in open grassy places. In the summer of 1883 this and the two preced- ing species were abundant in the town of Sandlake, and all grew in the same locality. By a little practice they were readily distinguishable, even without a close inspection. Most authors agree in attributing edible qualities to this species, not- withstanding its intense acridity. Badham says that he has frequently eaten it, and that according to Berkeley it is preserved for winter use by pickling in salt and vinegar. Cordier says that it is an agreeable ali- ment and is eaten in many countries, and that cows eat it with avidity, but that it renders their milk and butter nauseous. Fries says it is edi- ble, and it is so classed in Curtis’ Catalogue. Gillet states that although it does not constitute an agreeable article of food, it is eaten in some parts of France, and that the Russians make frequent use of it. Lactarius albidus, Peck. White Lactarius. Pileus thin, plane or slightly depressed, glabrous, dry, white ; lamellz subdistant, adnate or slightly decurrent, white, the interspaces venose ; stem equal, solid, glabrous, white ; spores white, .0003 to .00035 in.; milk white, taste acrid. Pileus 1.5 to 3 in. broad, stem 1 to 2 in. long, 3 to 5 lines thick. Thin woods. Karner. September. Very rare. This Lactarius has been observed but once, and then but few speci- mens were seen, yet it appears to be distinct from all our other white species in its thin pileus, subdistant lamellz, venose interspaces and rather slender stem. Except in color, it has some similarity to the next species. Lactarius varius, 2. sp. Variable Lactarius. Pileus thin, convex or nearly plane, umbilicate or centrally depressed, sometimes with a minute umbo or papilla, giabrous, even or obscurely roughened, submoist, zoneless or rarely narrowly zonate on the margin, gray or brown, often tinged with lilac, lamelle close, adnate or subde- current, whitish or cream colored, becoming dingy-greenish where wounded ; stem equal, elastic, glabrous, solid or spongy within, paler than or colored like the pileus ; spores white, .c003 to .00035 in.; milk white, taste tardily acrid, odor none, flesh white. Pileus 1 to 2-5 in. broad, stem 1 to 2-5 in. long, 2 to 4 lines thick. REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. 127 Thin woods and moist places. West Albany and Karner. Septem- ber. A very variable species. The prevailing color of the pileus is gray or lead-gray, but it is often lilac-brown. Its surface has a moist and shining appearance, but it is sometimes seen under a lens to be rough- ened by minute pits or depressions, in which case it presents silvery or sparkling reflections as if micaceously atomate. It often grows with L. glyctosmus from which it is distinguished by its glabrous pileus and lack of odor. It also approaches L. plumbeus, but differs from it in its smaller size, paler color, moist appearance and larger spores. Wounds of the lamellae assume a hue similar to tae seen under similar cir- cumstances in JL, ¢rivialis. Lactarius parvus, Peck. Small Lactarius. Pileus nearly plane or depressed, even, glabrous, zoneless, reddish- brown or lilac-brown, becoming paler with age, lamelle narrow, crowded, white or yellowish, becoming dingy-greenish where wounded; stem equal or slightly tapering upward, often curved, stuffed, whitish ; spores globose, white, .0003 to .o0o04 in.; milk white, taste acrid. Pileus 6 to 12 lines broad, stem 6 to 12 lines long, 1 to 2 thick. Old stumps and prostrate trunks in woods. Sandlake, Osceola and Greig. August and September. This small species is closely allied to L. varius, of which it might be considered a mere variety. It differs in being ‘smaller, in having the pileus constantly even, zoneless, destitute of an umbo or central pa- pilla and in growing paler with age. I have only found it growing on decaying wood. When growing on the sides of stumps and prostrate trunks, the stem is often curved and sometimes eccentric. Lactarius plumbeus, /”. Lead-colored Lactarius. Agaricus plumbeus, Bull.- “ Pileus compact, convex, then infundibuliform, dry, unpolished fw- liginous or browntish-black ; lamelle crowded, white or yellowish ; stem solid, equal, thick ; milk white, acrid, unchangeable,” spores .00025 to 0003 in. Pileus 2 to 5 in. broad, stem 1.5 to 3 in. long, 3 to 6 lines thick. The specimens which I have referred to this species were found in the Catskill mountains several years ago, growing in hemlock woods, under spruce and balsam trees. I have not met with the species since. The pileus in the larger specimens had a minutely tomentose appearance, but in the dried specimens this has disappeared.. They also varied in color from blackish-brown to pinkish-brown and grayish-brown, but they can scarcely be more than a mere form or variety of the species the description of which, as given by Fries, I have quoted. In the Handbook the pileus is described as dark fuliginous gray or brown, and Gillet describes it as black-brown, dark fuliginous or lead-color, and adds that the plant is poisonous and the milk very acrid and burning. Cor- dier says that the flesh is white and the taste bitter and disagreeable. 128 THIRTY-EIGHTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. Lactarius pyrogalus, /7. Caustic Lactarius. Agaricus pyrogalus, Bull.

Pileus 1.5 to 2.5 in. broad, stem 1 to 1.5 in. long, 2 to 4 lines thick. Thin woods and open places. Sandlake, Greenbush and Karner. August to October. The zonate pileus, distant lamelle and yellowish spores separate this species from its allies. The milk is copious and very acrid and the species is regarded as poisonous.

It grows especially on or about old stumps and prostrate trunks and may be found in wet weather from May to October. ; The typical form has the pileus and stem of a dingy or brown color and adorned with blackish fibrils, but specimens occur with the pileus white, yellowish, cinereous, grayish-brown or blackish-brown, I have never seen it of a truecervine color. Itis sometimes quite glabrous and smooth to the touch and in wet weather it is even slightly viscid. It also occurs somewhat floccose-villose on the disk, and the disk, though usually plane or obtuse, is occasionally slightly prominent or subumbonate. The form with the surface of the pileus longitudinally rimose or chinky is probably / REPORT OF THE STATE BOTANIST. | 135 — due to meteorological conditions. The lamellz, though at first crowded, become more lax with the expansion of the pileus. They are generally a little broader toward the marginal than toward the inner extremity. Their tendency to deliquesce is often shown by their wetting the paper on which the pileus has been placed for the purpose of catching the spores. The stem is usually somewhat fibrous and striated but forms occur in which it is even and glabrous. When growing from the sides of stumps and prostrate trunks it is apt to be curved. Two forms deserve varietal distinction. Var. albus. Pileus and stem white or whitish. Var. albipes. Pileus cinereous yellowish or brown; stem white or whitish, destitute of blackish fibrils. | In Europe there are three or four forms which have been designated as species under the names A. ragens, A. patricius, A. eximius and A, petasatus, but Fries gives them as varieties or subspecies of A. cervinus, though admitting that they are easily distinguished. None of these have occurred in our. State. A. atricapillus, Batsch., A. latws, Bolt., A. Pluteus, Pers., and A. Nees, Kl., are given as synonyms of A. cervinus. Pluteus umbrosus, Pers. Shade-loving Agaric. Brown Pluteus. Pileus fleshy, at first campanulate, then convex or expanded, 7ugose wrinkled and more or less villose on the disk,. fimbriate on the margin, blackish-brown ; lamelle broad, somewhat ventricose, at first whitish, then flesh-colored, blackish-brown and fimbriate or denticulate on the edge ; stem solid, colored like or paler than the pileus, fibrillose or villose-squamose ; spores elliptical, .o003 in. long, .ooo2 broad. Decaying wood and stumps, especially of pine, both in shaded and open places. Not rare. This is similar in size and general appearance to the preceding species, from which it is readily distinguished by the rugose-villose disk of ths pileus and the dark brown edge of the lamellz. The color of the pileue is usually darker than in that species. I have not seen it with the mar- gin fimbriate, though this is a prominent character of the species in Europe. Pluteus granularis, Peck. Granular Pluteus. Pileus convex or nearly plane, subumbonate, rugose-wrinkled, granu- lose or granulose-villose, varying in color from yellow to brown; lamel- lz rather broad, crowded, ventricose, whitish, then flesh-colored ; stem equal, solid, colored like the pileus, often paler at the top, velvety- pubescent, rarely squamulose ; spores subglobose or broadly elliptical, -00025 to .0003 in. long, .co02 to .00025 broad. Plant 1.5 to 3 inches high, pileus 1 to 2 inches broad, stem 1 to 2 lines thick. Decaying wood and prostrate trunks in woods. Hilly and mountain- ous districts. June to September. : The species is closely related to the two preceding, but is readily dis- tinguished from them by the peculiar vesture of the pileus and stem. 136 THIRTY-EIGHTH REPORT ON THE STATE MUSEUM. The granules are so minute and so close that they form a sort of plush on the pileus, more dense on the disk and radiating wrinkles than else- where. The clothing of the stem is finer, and has a velvety-pubescent appearance, but in some instances it breaks up into small scales or squam- ules. The color of the pileus and stem is usually some shade of yellow or brown, but occasionally a grayish hue predominates. The darker color of the granules imparts a dingy or smoky tinge to the gen- eral color. The disk is often darker than the rest of the pileus. Pluteus snanus, Pers. Dwarf Agaric. Mealy Pluteus. Pileus' somewhat fleshy, thin, convex or nearly plane, obtuse, rugulose, pulverulent or dingy-pruinose, brown ; lamelle close, ventricose, white or yellowish, then fiesh-colored ; stem equal, solid, firm, striate, gla- brous, white or yellowish; spores subglobose, .cooz to .o0025 in. long. Plant about 1 inch high, pileus 6 to 12 lines broad, stem 1 line thick. Decaying wood and sticks. Not common nor abundant when it does occur. July to September. The small size, dingy-mealy or pulverulent pileus and small subglo- bose spores are characteristic of this species. Small specimens some- times have the margin of the pileus slightly striate. Large specimens may be distinguished from small forms of the preceding species by the glabrous stem. The European variety lutescens, which has the stem and lamelle yellowish, has not yet been observed in our State. ‘n wv ‘ j ‘ ' ‘ y ! 4 sh * .
