minutely pulverulento-tomentose ; the pores, however, and the 
substance, though much thicker, are identical. From the 
base of one of the normal specimens, a young pileus is 
forming, whose surface exactly resembles that of the large 
ungulate individual just mentioned. Nothing requires greater 
caution than the proposition of new species amongst Poly- 
pori, where the pores and substance are similar in their 
characters.

On wood, at the base of Adams? Peak, Ceylon. 
Pileus 2 inches broad, 11 inch long, semiorbicular, sessile, 
rather effused behind, of a beautiful yellow-fawn, very mi- 
nutely velvety, delicately zoned, thin; margin acute. 
Substance soft, of the same colour as the pileus. 
Hymenium rather uneven, fawn-coloured, with a reddish- 
grey shade; pores very minute, nearly round. 
In some specimens the zones are obsolete; in others the 
pileus becomes quite smooth and shining; while in a third form, 
the hymenium is more even and rigid, with a more decided 
. pink bloom. In one specimen, which is decisive as to the 
. specific identity of the extreme forms, two pilei have toon: 
= produced, one of which is smooth, shining, and strongly 
zoned, the other pruinose. 
It is allied to Pol. pruinatus, Klotzsch, but differs in habit; 
in the colour of the pileus, and in the more or less distinct 
zones. It agrees in the pinkish bloom which is often e 
E T bited by the hymenium.
