PoLysticrus MoDEsTUs Kunze. No. 30. olystictus albo- 
cervinus Berk, is a synonym. 
POLYSTICTUS NILGHERIENSIS Mont. No. 15. This specimen 
is paler than the description of this species seems to indicate but 
agrees well with specimens in the Curtis herbarium from Hills- 
borough, North Carolina, determined by Berkeley. 
POLYSTICTUS SECTOR SCHIZODES B. & C. No. 209. 
POLYSTICTUS TRICHOMALLUs Berk. & Mont. No. 18. 
POLYSTICTUS UNDIGER (B. & C.) Sacc. No. 28. Described as 
Polyporus undigerus B. & C. in Fungi Cubenses, No. 282. The 
Cuban specimens in the Curtis herbarium, collected by Wright 
(457), are smaller but certainly the same species. 
TRaMETES FIBROsA Fr. No. 13. Has been compared with 
the specimen in the Curtis herbarium, collected in South America 
by Spruce (20), which is, perhaps, not specifically distinct from 
Trametes hydnoides (Swartz) Fr. 
TRAMETES FUMOSOAVELLANEA Romell (PoLYPORUS VERECUNDUS 
B.& C.?). No.212. This agrees in all respects with the authentic 
specimen of his Zrametes fumosoavellanea received from Romell 
but differs from the authentic specimen of Polyporus verecundus 
in the Curtis herbarium, collected in Cuba by Wright, “7s 
Cubenses (220), in having the tubes stratose—three layers present 
—in the thickest part of the pileus. The other gross characters 
are so similar to those of P. verecundus and so characteristic that I 
regard the present collection as probably the older, more fully 
developed fructification of the same species. : 
Trametes Srepuensi Berk.? No, 11. The specimen 
sterile, 
HEXAGONIA VARIEGATA Berk. No. 23. 
LacHNoctapium Brasiiense (Lev.). No. 14. Thelephora 
Brasiliensis Lev. 
STEREUM ILLUDENS Berk. No. 24. Vertical sections thr pi gh 
the pileus show in the hymenium the peculiar branched cystidia, 
resembling minute bottle brushes, by which the species 'S sie 
distinguished from the more common Stereum gausapatum Fr. an 
S. subpileatum B, & C.
