(After Moggridge.) ^ ^^ i ^ ir elongatus, as described by Simon, closely resembles that of Agalena noevia in the character ofthe tube alone; but this tube is enclosed within a deep cylindrical burrow,and is prolonged upward for about three inches above the surface of theground, and enlarged into a funnel shape, so that it becomes from two tothree inches across at the orifice. (Fig. 304.) This aerial i:)ortion is snowwhite, and at once attracts the eye, even from a considerable distance; thenests, rising up amid sparse grass, which serves to support but not concealthem, present the appearance of scattered white fungi.
