It may be noted that the herbarium specimens show that 

 when Berkeley and Broome cited two Thw aites' numbers, such 

 an ■' (Nos. o and 1094 in part)," they did not mean that 

 Thwaites sent two collections, but that 1094 is part of Thwaites' 

 5, separated, apparently, by Berkeley. 



The British Museum Herbarium contains also the Ceylon 

 specimens which were collected by Koiiig and described by 

 Berkeley in " Notices of Fungi in the Herbarium of the British 

 Museum," Aim. Nat. Hist., Vol. X. (1842), pp. 369-384. In 

 his early lists, Berkeley makes frequent reference to " Fl. 

 Zeyl.."" and these references have caused some confusion. 

 Mycologists who have wished to verify them have consulted 

 Linna?us, Flora Zeylanica (1747), only to find that there are 

 no descriptions of fungi in that work. For example, Fries 

 writes : " Accepi nomine Boleii lactei Linn., Fl. Zeyl., sed in 

 opere citato now reperi." An examination of his specimens 

 shows that Konig assigned a name to each species he collected ; 

 and that l^rkeley, in citing Fl. Zeyl., referred merely to the 

 (unpublished) names on the herbarium sheets.
