name kiioun at present is Lejnota albuminosa Berk., but as the 

 general opinion is that it should be included under Collyhia, 

 tliis must be changed to Collyhia albuminosa. Hence 

 we have —

With regard to these names, the type specimens of the 

 Ceylon species have been examined and found to be identical 

 with the species known to grow on termite nests at the j)resent 

 day. Armillaria termitigena . is certainly the stout-stalked 

 form which was named Lentinus cartilagineus twenty j^ears 

 previously ; Tricholoma suhgambosum was described from a 

 figure only, no s])ecimen being preserved, and the figure is a 

 good representation of our common termite agaric ; Pluteus 

 rajap links t-he Ceylon with the Javan names, since Holtermann 

 fdiiii'l ii in both Ceylon and Java ; and Pholiota Janseana and 

 Flammula Janseana were admittedly synonyms oiPluteus rajap. 

 The only doubtful synonym is Pluteus termitum ; and that is 

 doubtful, not because the description does not agree with the 

 Eastern agaric, but l)ecause in so many instances what may 

 be termed siK-cialized fungi in the Eastern tropics have proved 

 to be dilTercnt from similar fungi of identical habit in the 

 Western. (For cxam])le, " Ilf)rse-hair blight," a Marasmius
