A COLLECTION OF PHILIPPINE POLYPORES 
BY 
WILLIAM A. MURRILL. 
(New York Botanical Garden, New York City.) 
dp 
The following interesting specimens of polypores were sent 
to me about a year ago from the Philippine Islands by 
Mr. A. D. E. Elmer, who has made explorations on Mt- 
Mariveles and Mt. Banahao in Luzon and at Palo in Leyte, 
A number of Philippine species which have been seen 
in European herbaria bave as yet failed to appear in these 
and other recent collections, but it is hoped that the list 
will be complete enough in a year or two more so that a 
fairly full synopsis of Philippine polypores will be possible. 
Excursions into the interior of the largerislands will undoubted- 
ly bring to light a considerable number of novelties, while 
further explorations among the smaller islands will serve 
more strongly to connect the native species with their relatives 
in Formosa, China, Japan, Malacca, Borneo, Java, Celebes, 
New Guinea, Australia, and the many small neighboring 
islands of the Pacific.
