Plate VIII. The red on the upper surface of the cap is too bright in
tint. It should be a dull brick-red.
Plate IX. Fig. 6. The spores should be a deeper tint or brownish
purple.
The spores as delineated on the plates represent a magnification of
from 400 to 500 diameters.
Transcriber's Notes.
To avoid confusion, corrections noted above were not made to the plates
or their captions.
"Membranaceous," "membraneous" and "membranous" all appear multiple
times; I left them as is. Similarly for "Hynesboro" and "Hynesbury,"
"sebaceus" and "sebaeceus," "subglobose" and "sub-globose," "center" and
"centre," "net-work" and "network."
Both "Huseman" and "Husemann" appear; perhaps they refer to the same
person, but I couldn't be sure, so I left them as is.
There is little consistency about when names are italicized or placed in
quotes. Except where noted below, I left them as typeset in the

sure how the author would have wanted to describe it, I left it out.

separate characters: "oe."

the degree symbol was simply removed; accented vowels had their accents
removed (except u with umlaut became "ue"); the British pound sign became
"L."
