whole substance of the pileus, whitish, wood-coloured within, 
punctiform ; dissepiments: obtuse, nearly entire. In a very 
young state there is probably a slight silky appearance. 
Allied to the foregoing species and to Pol. annosus also, but 
on a much smaller scale.

On gum-trees and manna-trees ; much preyed on by the- 
larva of a small moth. 
Pileus 3-4 inches broad, 14-24 inches long, 2-4 dias high, 
very hard and slow of growth, zoned, the older portions much - 
cracked, brown and scabrous, the border of a pretty cinna- 
mon, elegantly marked with silky lines, with the edge acute, 
but in old specimens occasionally very obtuse. Pores rhu- - 
barb-coloured, small, irregular, their edge velvety. Bobstanég x 
ferruginous. ; 
This I formerly considered as a variety of Pol. igniarius, | 
but perfect specimens before me do not confirm this notion. - 
The pores are larger, and the whole aspect of perfect speci- 
mens very different. In old ‘specimens a very thin stratum 
is deposited every year.

Mr. Drummond considers the two forms indicated i the x 
above numbers as distinct though closely allied, but I can 
see no distinctive marks in the specimens before me. :
