LETTER No. 38. 



List of specimens received from correspondents since my last report. 

 There has been some delay in getting out this list, owing to the fact that 

 for the greater part of last summer I was in Germany out of touch with 

 my home office. They have all been promptly advised, however, by letter 

 regarding the determinations as soon as the specimens came into my hands. 



I beg to thank those who kindly sent me specimens, for I feel that it is 

 only by familiarity with the plants as they occur in the various countries 

 that a knowledge of the same can be obtained. While one can get the names 

 of a great many species from the named specimens that are in the museums 

 the species can not be learned from this source. Very often the specimen 

 on which the name is based is so poor that it would not be recognized 

 until the species is learned.

BARKER, W. E., New Zealand: 



Daldinia concentrica Polystictus versicolor Fomes australis (not 

 developed) Mycenastrum Corium Hirneola auricula Judae. This is 

 called "Taranaki Wool," as when Taranaki was first settled the collection 

 and shipment to China was an important industry, and it is stated that 

 from this one district it has been exported to the value of more than 

 $700,000. Cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 495 Peziza aeruginosum Peziza citrinum 

 Polystictus hirsutus, a thick trametoid form Aseroe Hookeri with a long 

 stem. Anthrus aseroeformis. "This was very common this year. It grows 

 not in the bush, but in fields, and its quaint, long, red arms make it very 

 conspicuous." W. E. Barker Cyathus vernicosus Schizophyllum commune.
