LETTER No. 35. 



List of specimens received at Kew in May. 1'jll. These specimens were 

 all sent to my Paris address. No. G3 rue Buffon. ami were forwarded to me 

 during the latter days of my stay at Kew. Some of them I do not recognize 

 as to species and had no time to look them up at Kew, ! indi 



cated them by a star (*) and will publish them in detail when ih- 

 determined. 



I beg to thank those who continue to aid me by sending specimens for 

 study. It is only by constantly handling, studying, and comparing tin in thai 

 the subject can be learned. There is one thing that much simplifi- 

 work. It develops that the species of fungi are relatively few and that many 

 common species grow in every country. This nuikes it easier as every pack- 

 age I receive, no matter from what country, contains species that I recognize 

 at sight and which require no further study on my part. At the same time 

 there is scarcely a package received that does not contain something of 

 special interest. In this letter we record Polyporus Hartmanni from Miss 

 Flockton, heretofore known only from the collection at Kew; Stephensia 

 from G. Brown, surely without a specific name I think; Hydmim cinna- 

 barinum from Dr. Becker, South Africa, which was namerl from the rniied 

 States, but I do not recall having seen a specimen in any museum and have 

 never before received it. 



I hope those who receive my publications will favor me by sending such 

 things as they notice (except the soft, fleshy, watery species that change in 

 drying). It is only from abundant material that much of value can be 

 learned. The scanty material and knowledge on which many "new si>< 

 are based is the source of a great deal of the trouble and confusion that now 

 surround the subject.
