a new spceies, found at Walthamstow by Mr. B. M. Forfter. The little radiate roots are composed of similar fibres to the preceding, spreading in a much smaller proportion, somewhat knee'd, and divided into irregular lobes bearing some resemblance to claws, giving it altogether the appearance of an animal. The ball is scarcely tomentose, nor can we be positive that it is a Lycopcrdon. TAB. CXLVII. Rel. Sup. 1051.

Rev. Charles Abbot favored me with the larger specimens of this plant from Whitewood, Bedfordshire. Bulliard has some figures much larger, spreading and recurved, in a campanulate form, nearly half an inch .beyond the hispid part. The small figures were from Essex, gathered by Thomas Walford, Esq. and differ in size only.
