such regions. The number of fungi recorded in the Royal Oardens 

 Kew is over 1700, a total far surpassing in point of numbers any 

 other record for an equal area. 



In this list not only do we find many microscopic species that are 

 not indigenous, but there are evidences of the introduction of some 

 of the larger fungi. Amongst these may be mentioned the australian 

 Gasteromycete Aseroe rubra and exotic Agarics such as Hiatiila 

 Wynniae, Flammula purpurata, and Chitonia rubriceps. Notes are 

 given on the more interesting species. 



A list of 50 species of Myceiozoa is given as an appendix.

 Furchen, die sich vor dem Hinterende des Mesonotum vereinigen, 

 durch die Krallen und durch die Fühler des Männchens. Die Bauch-
