haps that of the six species of Favolus, Daedalea, Laschia and Mer- 

 ulius that Junghuhn named, not one of them would to-day be placed 

 in the genus where Junghuhn placed them. I will give here a short 

 summary of the types of Junghuhn that I have been able to locate 

 and the box or cover where they may be found. It was quite a task 

 to hunt them out among the several hundred boxes of fungi from Java 

 now in the museum. Junghuhn 's types have a value that many of 

 them do not possess, for while Berkeley, Montagne, Fries, Leveille 

 and many of the old namers of -fungi distributed co-types to other 

 museums, I have never noted any of Junghuhn's specimens except at 

 Leiden. 



affinis (as Merulius). Type in Hirneola cover. It is Hirneola 

 delica which Avas originally published by Fries as Laschia delica. 



annulatus. Type not found by me, but Junghuhn gave such a 

 good illustration that there is no question as to the species. I collected 

 it in Samoa. 



asper. Good types in Polyporus cover. Good specimens also 

 in Zollinger's set No. 2080. It is a Trametes, in the same section as 

 Trametes hydnoides. 



bicolor. Type in cover, also several collections in boxes. It 

 seems to be a frequent plant in the East, marked with a brown spot 

 that appears at the base of the pileus. Berkeley called it Poyporous 

 anebus, and Murrill discovered only recently that it was a "new 

 species." 



byssogena. Type in Box 107.* It is large pored, white Poria. 

 It was published as byssogena but Junghuhn labeled his specimen 

 byssoseda. 



cervino-gilvus. Type in cover. Beautifully illustrated by Jung- 

 huhn. Unfortunately it is the same as dermatodes which I believe 

 is prior. 



cucullata (as Merulius). Type in Laschia cover. This is a little 

 Laschia, as some now class it, with a' venose hymenium exactly as 

 shown in the unpublished Icones No. 37 and named "Polyphleps 

 chloroleucus," unquestionably I think the same species. 



Crustacea (as Laschia). Type in Box 6.* When Junghuhn pub- 

 lished Laschia as a new genus he was not aware that Fries had used 

 the same name as a fungus genus. Of the two species that Junghuhn in- 

 cludes, the first ( Crustacea) is a Poria and the second (spathulata) is a 

 Favolus. Leveille stated that there were no grounds for basing a genus 

 on Laschia Crustacea and on his statement the species was compiled 

 in Saccardo as Poria Crustacea (Vol. 6, p. 333). Montagne and Berke-
