MUTINUS MINIMUS (Fig. 103). Known from a figure reconstructed 

 from a dried or alcoholic specimen. Color, red. Seems to differ from others 

 in its rugulose receptacle. Described from Tonkin. 



MUTINUS BORNEENSIS (Fig. 104). Figured from Borneo, in an 

 Italian journal. Was said to have a white stipe and short red spore-bearing 

 portion. We reproduce a figure from Tonkin. 8 



MUTINUS PROXIMUS. Based on a dried specimen in the British 

 Museum, from Ceylon. It is a small species, described as having a white 

 stipe, but the plant is accompanied by a sketch showing an orange stipe. It 

 seems to be close to caninus. It has not been figured. 



MUTINUS CURTUS (Fig. 105). Only known from one collection made 

 in Australia sixty years ago, which seems to be immature. The figure recon- 

 structed by Corda is no doubt inaccurate, especially as to the lobed volva. 



MUTINUS PAPUASIUS (Fig. 106). Known only from a figure from 

 a dried specimen, from Australia. It is not known whether it is a Mutinus 

 or a Phallus. 



MUTINUS ARGENTINUS (Fig. 107). This was originally published 

 without illustration and was referred by Professor Fischer, doubtfully, to 

 Mutinus Muelleri. The latter seems from Fischer's illustration to be Mutinus 

 bambusinus, and is so referred by Moeller. Spegazzini has recently published 

 a figure of Mutinus argentinus which seems to me quite different from bam- 

 businus. It has a short, thick spore-bearing portion. From the figure one could 

 not say it was not Mutinus caninus of Europe, though it is rather stocky for that.

"In our account, Myc. Notes, p. 388, we confused Mutinus borneensis of Borneo with Mutinu; 

 minensis of Bonin Island. Both are imperfectly known, but the latter seems to be a Jansia, 

 id both may in time prove to be the same plant. Since we have seen the types of Jansia 

 minensis we think we have inaccurately referred here (page 402) a species of Mutinus 

 om Japan.
