THE AMBOINA FUNGI COLLECTED BY C. B. ROBINSON 
: By H. Sypow 
Of Berlin, Germany 
The Robinson collection of fungi is not large but is especially 
interesting because it is the first collection made in Amboina. 
On the whole, judging from the species that are at hand, the 
fungus flora of this island is closely related to that of the 
Philippines, as various forms referable to the Basidiomycetes 
and to such genera as Meliola and Asterina occurring in the 
Philippines are especially numerous.
