KONINGSBERGER, DR. J. C., Java: 



My best thanks are extended to Dr. J. C. Koningsberger, Director 

 of the Botanic Gardens of Buitenzorg, for shipping me a large box of 

 Java specimens. I am particularly interested in Java specimens, as most 

 of the historic material from the Dutch East Indies is preserved at Leiden, 

 and I recently spent three weeks at Leiden in a careful study of it The 

 species sent by Dr. Koningsberger are relatively few, but the collections 

 were ample, and one good, ample collection is worth more in learning the 

 characters of a species than a dozen little fragments of different species 

 such as I often receive. The following were the Polyporoids of the col- 

 lection. A few other specimens were included in families I have not 

 studied as to foreign species. 



Ganodermus "fasciatus" (bis) with characteristic spores. It has a hard 

 (not laccate) crust, ungulate in shape, yellowish pore mouths, and little 

 context development. I should call it a form of Fomes australis. It is 

 Fomes fasciatus in the sense of Loveille and Patouillard, though as it was 

 only a misdetermination of Leveille I think the name has no validity as 

 applied to this plant. Polyporus bicolor, characterized by the reddish stain
