 creasing knowledge of the floras of dii?exent regions. "\Yith regard 

 to the general character of tho AustY^lu^ian fnngus flora, how- 

 ever, the present list confirms the temperate type indicated by 

 previous records. Of the 100 species named, 48, or nearly half, 

 occur in Europe or Korth America, ox both, excluding Irpes 

 flavys, Avhich, although originally fvoni North America, is 

 typically a tropical species. Of the^ 48, 12 only are cosmopolitan, 

 the others being for the most part only ki\ov;n from the temperate 

 regions. Of the remaining species, 28 (a large proportion) are, 

 as far as known at presentj endemic to the continent of Austral- 

 asia, including the seven new species, but it is noteworthy that 

 five of these seven species show strong aiEnities with known 

 species of Europe or Xorth America, The remainder of the list is 

 made up of tropical species, cosniopoUtaw or common to the 

 tropics of the East and Africa. Two only, Kylaria apicuhta and 

 Hymeiiocliaete fidiginosa^ are up to the present recorded only
