TAB. LXXIX.

PEZIZA leporina. Fl. Dan. t. 1077.

I received specimens of this first from my kind friend the Rev. Mr. Charles Abbot from Clopt-Hill, Bedfordshire, in September 1792, and have found it in plenty in Sir William Jerningham's plantation near Norwich. It differs from P. coccinea in being oblique and involuted towards the base, also in the outside being radulated or rough like a file or rasp.

TAB. LXXX.

LYCOPERDON recolligens. Woodward, Tr. of Linn, Soc. vol. 2. 58.

Very plentiful in Major Money's plantations at Trowse, near Norwich, in October 1794. These puff-balls are partly under ground till the volva bursts, which is apparently with some elastic force, as they are commonly found tumbled about in different directions. It has been found on a grass plat in a garden at Walthamstow several different years.

For a full and very ingenious account of this and some others of the seellated Lycoperdons, I beg leave to refer as above.
