scription of Lentinus dealbata in Cooke's Handbook. Irpex (cfr. pachylon), 

 Schizophyllum commune, Polystictus sanguineus, Trametes lactinea (?), 

 Hexagona tenuis, Hexagona (sp.), Sent with the preceding, but certainly 

 a distinct species. 



HAMILTON, A. G., New South Wales: 



Geoglossum nigritum, Scleroderma flavidum, blacker than usual, 

 but too small for S. Geaster. Peziza, Lycoperdon pus'illum, Geaster Readeri. 



ICHIMURA, T., Japan: 

 Scleroderma tenerum. 



JAAP, PROFESSOR OTTO, Germany: 



A fine collection of interesting species. They were all labeled by 

 Professor Jaap, and most of them are listed as labeled. In fact, a number 

 of the Porias I would 'have been unable to name. 



Lycoperdon umbrinum, Poria euppra, same plant as called in the 

 United States Poria attenuata. Eupora is "prior." Poria taxicola, Poria 

 sanguinolenta "frisch rein weiss, bei Druck rot, dann braun werdend." 

 Lenzites trabea, Polyporus fragilis, Polyporus radiatus, Fomes conchatus, 

 Polyporus acanthoides (??), Polyporus giganteus, Polyporus elegans, Poly- 

 porus albidus, Polyporus fibula, Polyporus fragilis, Polyporus caesius, Poria 

 nodulosa, as labeled at least, Poria mucida, Poria reticulata, Poria pur- 

 purea, Poria subtilis. 



Polyporus radiatus, Polyporus nodulosus. Prof. Jaap gives as a 

 synonym P. polymorphum, and on studying Rostkovius' figure I think he 

 must be right. But the plant is a Polyporus, not a Polystictus, as usually 

 classed. Poria medullapanis, Poria taxicola, Polystictus versicolor, Poria 

 cbliquus, Poria floccosa (?), Calvatia saccata, Lycoperdon cupricum? 



KLINCKSIBCK, PAUL, France: 



Trametes Bulliardi (as labeled). Another marked form of the 

 polymorphic "Daedalea confragosa." This specimen has a surface not 

 "laevi, glabro," as called for in the description, but rather "molli villoso" 

 like Trametes gibbosa. Of the many forms of this plant I have seen .this 

 is the first one with such a surface. Trametes hispida, Stereum purpu- 

 reum (?). ; . ... 



KRUGER, PROFESSOR W., Germany: 



Polyporus adustus, Polyporus crispus. This answers Fries' descrip- 

 tion exactly, and I think is the true crispus. It differs from adustus in its 

 large, lacerate pores. Polyporus fumosus, Polyporus fumosus, resupinate, 

 Lenzites betulina, Lenzites fiaccida. The distinction between Lenzites 

 betulina and Lenzites flaccida is beginning to be plain to me, but I think 

 they run together, so that it is not practicable to keep them distinct. Fomes 

 igniarius, Polystictus versicolor, Daedalea unicolor, Polystictus zonatus? 

 Trametes (unknown to me). 



KRUMBIEGEL, G. H., India: 



Six collections of polyporoids. All, save one, belonging to the sec- 

 tion Ganoderma. I have never worked with the foreign species of these 

 plants. 



Geaster Englerianus. These are the typical black forms that occur 

 only in the tropics. Phalloid (unnamed). It was a dried specimen only,
