SECTION LENTl'S. 



phaeoxanthus, United States, Montage. Type is a nu-re fn,,tulc (cfr. 

 iViyc. 1\ otcs, p. 4Q2J. 



pisiformis, Australia Kalchbrenncr. "Type" is a little incipient sessile, 

 undeveloped pad about the size and appearance of a wart. Should ,H-VIT ha 

 been named at all and most certainly should never have been put in the section 

 Lentus of stipitatc fungi where Cookc placed it. 



planus, Europe, Wallroth. Unknown. As it grew in the ground it mav 

 not belong to the section Lentus. 



platensis, South America, Spegazzini. Unknown. 



Polyporus Polyporus. This gibberish sounds to me more like the college 

 yell of the Carlisle Indians than "Latin," but is alleged to lie a Latin name 

 for Polyporus brumalis. I doubt if a Roman barmaid would have been guilty of 

 employing such silly language, and yet men who claim to be "scientific" have the 

 assurance to go into print with such names under the pretext that they are 

 employing Latin. 



Puiggarii, Brazil, Spcgazzini. Unknown. 



quadrans, Australia, Berkeley. Xo type exists, From the description it 

 seems to be xanthopus. 



rubripes, Europe, Rostkovius. Known only from an old picture which is 

 probably inaccurate. 



rubro-maculatus, Europe, Britzelmayr. Cartoon. 



saccatus, Rawak, Persoon=rxanthopus. 



similis, Brazil, Berkeley. Type very scanty but probably = Polyporus Tricho- 

 loma. 



squamoso-maculatus, India, Saccardo. Change of maculatus of Berkeley 

 because Peck, twenty years later, published another under the same name. 

 Berkeley's name does not seem to have needed changing very badly on this 

 account. 



stipitarius, Cuba, Berkeley=Polyporus Tricholoma. 



substriatus, Europe, Rostkovius. Only known from an old illustration which 

 appears to me to be the same as lepideus. 



tubarius, Europe, Quelet. Unknown except from his figure, which seems 

 too close to vernalis. 



umbilicatus, Java, Junghuhn arcularius, teste Fries. I'resadnla claims it 

 is different from arcularius, but by such slight structural differences that I can 

 not grasp them. The types at Leiden I should refer to arcularius. 



Vossii, Europe, Kalchbrenncr brumalis, teste Bresadola. 



Weddelii, Brazil, Montagne. No type exists. 



Zenkeri, Africa, Hennings. No specimens found at Berlin. Seems from 

 description to be pale xanthopus. 



Zollingeri, Java, Saccardo. Unknown and unknowable from such descrip- 

 tions.
