(With two Plates, Tab. VTI., VIIL) 



The present ten Decades comprise the remainder of the Fungi col- 

 lected by Dr. Hooker and Dr. Thomson in various parts of the Hima- 

 layas and the Indian Peninsula^ to which are added a few numbers of 

 species gathered in Ceylon by Mr. Thwaites. Only a single new genus 

 occurs in the whole century, which is very remarkable, considering the 

 large number of new species*
