PART 3.

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 original.

Plate XVI is omitted from the index to illustrations; since I wasn't sure how the author would have wanted to describe it, I left it out.

For the Latin-1 version, I replaced the oe-ligature with the two separate characters: "oe."

For the ASCII version the following changes were made: the ae-ligature replaced by separate characters, "ae;" the AE-ligature was replaced by "Ae" or "AE," depending on whether it was title case or all capitals; the degree symbol was simply removed; accented vowels had their accents removed (except u with umlaut became "ue"); the British pound sign became "L."

Mixed fractions are represented as follows: two and one half is "2-1/2."
