МВ. Е. CURREY ON INDIAN FUNGI. | 1M 
I find no species described which agrees with this. The plant is stated to be white 
when fresh. Іп the dried state it is of a brownish fawn-colour, the gills being somewhat 
darker than the pileus.

LENTINUS IRREGULARIS, n. sp. Pileo (sicco) nigricante, fragili, infundibuliformi ; Jamellis 
cinnamomeis, irregularibus, hie per totum stipitem decurrentibus, illie annulatim 
abruptis.—Karen country.  Pine-forests from Theemeechu to Borkee. Хо. 2534. 
There are four specimens of this species, in two of which the gills run down the whole 
length of the stem, whilst in the other two they terminate abruptly, and break off ina 
way very similar to what is seen in the British species Г. fimbriatus, Curr. If the two 
latter specimens only had been examined, I should probably have referred them to 
L. fünbriatus.

SCHIZOPHYLLUM COMMUNE, Fr. Several specimens of this species occur in Mr. Kurz's 
collection.—The localities are:—Botanie Garden, Calcutta, Nos. 1781 and 2649; 
Ross Island, South Andaman, No. 2562; Sikkim Himalaya, Nos. 2572 and 2575; 
Tonkyeghat, Pegu, No. 2598. 
LzNzrrES ALBIDA, Fr. Epicr. р. 405.— Tonkyeghat, Pegu. Хо. 2601. 
I have seen no specimens of L. albida, Fr. Хо. 2601 agrees with the description in 
the * Epicrisis, except in being stipitate and in the gills having а cinnamon-colour. 
Nothing is said by Fries as to the size of 7. albida. The pileus in the present plant 
measures 2 of an inch by 2 of an inch, and at first sight much resembles Panus stypticus, 
Fr.; but the anastomosing gills show that it eannot be that species.

There is another specimen in the collection (No. 2604), which seems to be the same 
species, from the Botanic Garden, Caleutta.

There is also a specimen from South Andaman, No. 2563.

Pegu, Karen country, Bookee ridges, 5000—6000 feet, Pine-forests, No. 2595. 
This species was found by Dr. Hooker at Darjeeling, at a height of 7500 feet. 
P. (MzsoPus) нүроргАвтиз, Berk., Hooker's Journal of Botany, vol. viii. p. 174.—Howrah 
district. On bamboo. Хо. 2652. , 
This species was first found by Mr. Spruce at Panuré. Mr. Berkeley has noticed that 
the pileus is sometimes lateral; and this is the case with three out of the four specimens 
sent by Mr. Kurz. Judging from Mr. Kurz's specimens alone I should have placed the 
Plant in the division Pleuropus. 4
