 The four gatherings sent illustrate the extraordinary variability 

 of this species, both as to general habit and pore-size. The pileus 

 varies from thick, rigid, with regular obtuse-walled pores, to thin 

 and fragile, with thin-walled irregular pores, tending to become 

 irpicoid. The i^ore-size varies from 1 to 3 mm. In diameter, or 

 occasionally larger by imperfect development of a dividing wall, 

 all gradations occurring.

A rare species, first described from the Congo, and since 

 recorded by Bresadola from the same locality and by Patouillard 

 from French Guinea. In its pale colour and general habit it is 

 closeh^ allied to certain species of Polydictusj as P. cristatusy Cke.

These specimens are truly intermediate between //. discopoda 

 and //. Dregeanay Lev., and render it difficult to say whether 

 these two species c^n be maintained. They have the more or less 

 sessile habit of H. Dregeanay with the small pores of H. discopoda , 

 while the colour varies from uniformly dark in some specimens to 

 the two-coloured type of 77. discopoda in others.
