115. PANUS SUBORBICULARIS, Berk. & Broome, п. sp. Pileo suborbiculari crenato albo 
subtiliter tomentoso, stipite obsoleto, lamellis ad basin tomentosis decurrentibus, 
acie integris. 
Pileus 2$ inches wide, subimbricate, 2 inches long. The gills are close and rather wide, 
and curled up in drying. On old whale-bones. Brisbane (F. M. Bailey, no. 291). 
116. PANUS viscrDULUS, Berk. & Broome, n.sp. РИео strato superiore gelatinoso flabel- 
liformi pallide ardosiaco viscidulo, margine inflexo; stipite brevi laterali villoso 
e basi spongiosa oriundo; lamellis decurrentibus angustis albis. 
Pileus 15 to 1} inch across; stem very short, villous, springing from a shaggy base; 
gills very decurrent running down the short stem. Mr. Bailey describes the pileus as 
** dull slate-coloured, somewhat clammy, gills white." The above description is drawn up 
from the plant when fresh; the gills and pileus become of a dark brown in drying, the 
stem and villous base of a dirty or yellowish white. On decaying bark. Brisbane 
(F. М. Bailey, no. 312). 
117. KEROTUS PROXIMUS, Berk. & Broome, n. sp. (Plate X. figs. 11-13.) Albus, 
pileo suborbiculari subtiliter pulverulento, stipite laterali vel subcentrali; lamellis 
decurrentibus, interstitiis venosis. 
This species is white when fresh, but turns a yellowish fulvous or black in parts when 
washed with spirit of wine; pileus thin, from 4 inch to 13 inch wide, 2 to 2 inch long; 
- hymenium turning black from the spirit ; gills rather narrow, distant, interstices marked 
with prominent veins branching off from the lamellz ; stem excentric, about 2 an inch 
long, tomentose, of the same colour with the pileus, equal. Brisbane (F. М. Bailey, 
no. 187).

119. Хекотгв RAWAKENSsIS, Fr. Ag. Pers. Brisbane (Е. M. Bailey, no. 131). 
This differs slightly from Persoon’s characters, but not sufficiently to constitute a new 
species. 
120. XEROTUS ALBIDUS, Berk. & Broome, п. sp. (Plate X. figs. 14, 15.) Albidus, pileo 
reniformi glabro subhygrophano, ipso margine striato; stipite laterali glabro; 
lamellis paucis, interstitiis levibus attingentibus; siccus fulvus. 
Pileus from $ to 1 inch wide by 4 to іпеһ long, thin, clothed with short fulvous 
(when dry) tomentum, striate, especially towards the margin, from the contraction of 
the thin substance between the gills; hymenium of the same colour as the pileus, gills 
distant, but repeatedly branched about halfway from the stem, moderately wide, inter- 
stices quite smooth; stem lateral, brown, slightly velvety, thicker downwards, about 
ł inch long. Brisbane (Е. М. Bailey, no. 182). |
