A spore-print should also be pre- served for a record of the color of the spores, since one cannot use the color of the gills in all cases to determine that of the spores, and a few spores under the microscope do not in many cases give the tint which a mass of spores show, and which is very important to 111.—Lcpiota naacina. Some liquid fixative like gum arabic should be spread on the portion of the white paper covered by the pileus previous to taking the spore- print, so that the spores will adhere well to the paper; or they may be later fixed by using material like Rouget's fixative with an atomizer, though with this latter treatment the figure of the print is apt to be disturbed somewhat.
