thin that the gleba mass appears naked at first view. The spores are' 

 small, 4 mic., and do not have the strong pedicels of the other two known 

 species. At the. same time it is hard to decide as to the specific value ol 

 these "species" of Holocotylcn from the few collections that are known). 



BREITUNG, REV. A., Denmark. 



Fomes Pfeifferi (Compared with the type specimens, and I think 

 surely the same, though this grew on beech and the species was describee. 

 from Abies. Characterized by the strong resinous pileus (which looks like 

 a piece of resin) and verrucose spores. Rev. Breitung sends it under the 

 name resinosus, a name as a Fomes I can not trace. There is a Fomes 

 resinaceus which has much paler context and smooth spores.), Fomes fomeri- 

 tarius, Fomes annosus. Fomes ribis. 



BUTLER, E. J., British India: 



Podaxon pistillaris (Agrees well with the type in the Linnean 

 herbarium which came originally from India), Scleroderma aurantium 

 (same as the European plant), Tylostoma (cfr. squamosum), Lycoperdon 

 piriforme, Geaster (unopened, unnamed I think. Closest to Geaster Sclero- 

 derma, cfr. Myc. Notes p. 316), Lycoperdon pusillum (We have to so refer 

 it, though it is larger than the European plant. Excepting the size, how- 

 ever, we find no character on which we could base a species), CyathuE 

 Poeppigii (though the peridioles are sterile I do not question the species), 

 Geasters (unopened, velutinus section), Lycoperdon (close to gemmatum) i 

 Scleroderma verrucosum (caespitose form. I have gotten the same forir 

 before from India), Tylostoma (4 collections), Cyathus limbatus (?) It has 

 the same characters as limbatus, but not the habits. -It resembles Mon 

 tagnei as to habits, spores 7-9x16-20), Scleroderma Cepa. 



CAVARA, DR. FR., Italy: 



Scleroderma Bovista. In the sense of Dr. Hollos and of Fries (?). 



CAVE, GEO. H., British India: 



Scleroderma columnare (A strongly marked species of Scleroderma 

 with a slender stem, well named columnare. It is known only from lmli;i 

 and Ceylon), Scleroderma (species not sure). 



DAMAZIO, L., Brazil: 



Polyporus, Fomes, Polystictus. (These specimens all unknown to 

 me. All strongly marked, and easily recognized if I knew the foreign 

 polyporoids.) 



DRAPER, W., Egypt: 



Fomes (Ganoderma). 



EYRE, REV. W. L. W., England: 

 Polyporus melanopus. 



FROGGATT, WALTER W., Australia. 



Scleroderma Cepa (in a garden), Lycoperdon cepaeforme (in a 

 paddock among grass under Sheouk (Cassaria) trees, Catastoma (Un- 

 named, new for Australia. Close to hyalothrix in general characters, but 

 having very long pedicels), Mycenastrum Corium (Fine specimens. No one 

 of my correspondents sends nicer or better specimens than Mr. Froggatt).
