392 Transactions. — Botany. 



ferent states, at different seasons of the year ; and, while 

 some of them were common (locally), others were extremely 

 rare. 



I sent them to Kew, to the Director of the Eoyal Botanic 

 Gardens, Mr. W. T. Thiselton Dyer, C.M.G., &c., in order to get 

 them determined, if possible, by the eminent fungologist, Dr. 

 Cooke, who had so very kindly done so much for some former 

 lots, collected in the same localities. I have very recently 

 received from the Director at Kew a long and complete valu- 

 able list of a portion of the same (those already determined), 

 and this I purpose now laying before you, omitting only those 

 species which were already known, and described in the 

 " Handbook, Flora of New Zealand," and also in my two sup- 

 plementary papers of newly-discovered Fungi published in 

 vols. xvii. and xix. of the Transactions. And, as on former 

 occasions, I shall classify them thus : — 



1. Foreign Fungi, already described, but not before found 

 in New Zealand. 



2. Indigenous species wholly new to science, true species 

 novce. 



From these lists you will learn that, out of the large number 

 of specimens of Fungi last sent by me to Kew, a total of 132 

 species are new to the New Zealand flora, and of these only 

 five species have been determined as new to science.
