LETTER No. 31. 



List (partial) of the specimens found by me on my return to Paris. 

 February, fWl. I am very much gratified with the liberal sendlngs of 

 specimens that I received on my return to Paris. There were about five 

 hundred specimens, including I am sure many rare species of tropical coun- 

 tries. The following is a list of those that I recognize, and there are a num- 

 ber of others yet undetermined. 



The subject of the Polypores is so extensive, embracing over two thou- 

 sand alleged species, that it is impossible to carry it all in my mind. My 

 notes made in the various museums and my photographs have all been sent 

 to Kew, where I expect to work for the next three months. I will take the 

 undetermined specimens to Kew, and shall probably be able to determine 

 most of them. I will then publish a supplementary list Very little l 

 known as to the foreign Polyporei. I hope my correspondents will continue 

 to send such specimens as come to their notice. It is only by contrast, com- 

 parison and familiarity, and abundant material that the truth can be learned 

 about them, and I shall be very grateful for specimens to aid in the work.
