nus rudis Polyporus sulphureus Polystictus byssinus. The last-named col- 

 lected by Silas Schumo in Guatemala and determined by Ellis as Polystictus 

 occidentalis. It is also P. Crocatus, Fr. 



SMITH, G. D., Kentucky: 



Polyporus hfspidus, a fine specimen on black oak. Irpex pachylon. 

 From Ohio, Polyporus cuticularis Polyporus velutinus. 



SMITH, THEODATE L., New Hampshire: 



Hydnum humidum, Banker, according to description. Color orange 

 then brown, very fragrant when received. Polyporus circinatus, fine collec- 

 tion. Stereum tabacinum Hydnum vellereum Hydnum aurantiacum Hyd- 

 num (sp.) Polyporus radiatus Daedalea confragosa, thin form. Also Hyd- 

 num ochraceum, from Massachusetts. 



STERLING, E. B., New Jersey: 



Polyporus albellus Hydnum mirabile, in sense of Peck Hydnum 

 erinaceum Polyporus Spraguei Hirneola auriculae-Judae (?) Note. 

 This is doubtful. It should be studied in contrast with the usual form. 

 Polystictus focicola (?) I so reported these but they differ in the bright 

 color, and should be compared with cinnamomeus. Polyporus hispidus. Re- 

 ceived fresh, the largest specimen I ever saw. It measured 16 x 10 x 3 inches, 

 and weighed 54 pounds. It is rather a rare plant in the United States. 



STOVER, W. G., Ohio: 



Polyporus adustus Polyporus Grayii Polyporus resinosus Poly- 

 porus fraxineus. The annual form and a rare plant in the United States. 

 This is the third collection known to me. In Europe it is more common and 

 there usually a Fomes. Favolus europaeus Fomes connatus Polyporus 

 salignus Stereum spadiceum Hydnum auriscalpium. Rare except in pine 

 woods. These (apparently) did not grow on pine cones, the usual habitat 

 Fomes Ohiensis Two species of Poria Polyporus gilvus Polystictus per- 

 gamenu's, also form with white pores. Polystictus hirsutus Stereum fascia- 

 turn Polystictus versicolor Stereum complicatum Polyporus rufescens. 

 Fine specimen, rarely so well developed in this country. Stereum rubigino- 

 sum Polyporus frondosus Poria (?) Probably resupinate adustus. 



STREETER, MRS. HANNAH, Pennsylvania: 



Polyporus retipes. A fine specimen of a rare plant. Collected at 

 Laurel Springs, N. J. Polyporus griseus- Polyporus retipes. On comparison 

 I think this is same as the original I have from Alabama. I think Polyporus 

 retipes has never been collected before except from its original station in 

 Alabama. The finding of this rare species in Pennsylvania is of much in- 

 terest. 



SUTLIFF, MISS MARY L., California: 



Scleroderma. Probably an unnamed species. It differs from our 

 eastern form not only in its peridium characters, but in having more retic- 

 ulate spores.
