 Every species is also represented by one or more specimens 

 in the Herbarium of Mr. J. B. Ellis, Newtield. New Jersey. 

 The classification and nomenclature adopted are those of Sac- 

 cardo's Sylloge Fungorum except that certain species gener- 

 ally referred to Polyponis, Po/yslictus. etc., are here put down 

 under the generic name Miicronoporus Ellis and Everhart.
