Enumeration of a small Collection of Fungi from BORNEO ; by the 
Rev. M. J. BERKELEY, M.A., F.L.S. 
The Fungi which are named in the present notice were placed in the 
hands of Sir W. J. Hooker by Dr. Livesay. They had, unfortunately, 
suffered very much from the attacks of insects, but the greater part — 
were still sufficiently entire to admit of being ascertained. The species, 
with only a single exception—as far, at least, as they are capable of re- 
cognition—have already been described, but it has been thought advisable. 
. to publish the list, as they are the only fungi which have at present - 
been received from Borneo, and they will afford some materials for the 
consideration of the geographical distribution of species. : = 
The species identified are thirty-four in number. Of these, no. 1 
is undescribed ; no. 2 has been found in New Ireland; no. 3, 14, 1 
^no. 10, if really identical, Bahia, and the remaining fifteen either c 
exception then of no. 10, which is somewhat doubtful, as the only 
specimen preserved is old and in very bad condition, the collectio 
presents no anomaly, but is made up of species which more comple 
researches will probably prove to be common to most of the Indian 
islands. Some of the species, such as Polyporus zonalis, occur 
Sikkim, but this species is also found in Cuba. No. 19, originally 
scribed from Swan River and Van Diemen’s Land, may possibly
