Excerpt from A Study of the Lactariae of the United States This study of the Lactarz'ae has been limited to the United. States, Since, with the exception of a list of thirteen species from Nova Scotia, * and a few Species from other provinces of Canada preserved in the herbarium of the N. Y. State Museum at Albany, no species have been reported from other parts of North America. In pursuance of the study the aim has been to observe the living plants in the field. Accordingly, for several summers, collections were made in the vicinity of Lake Ontario in Oswego County, New York. One season was spent in southern Vermont near Newfane, and in the summer of 1907 a study of the southern dis tribution of the genus was undertaken in the mountains of North Carolina about forty miles south of Asheville in the Pisgah Forest reserve, where the Biltmore Forest School is located during the summer.
