that comes on top of the pileus. Spores globose large, 10 mic. hyaline 

 smooth. Ganodermus fasciatus (bis.) Same as previously mentioned, only 

 these specimens have much development of the context. Fomes leuco- 

 phaeus. It is curious that this species, very common and generally sessile in 

 the United States, in Java often develops an abortive or fictitious stipe. 

 Some of these specimens are sessile, others pseudo-stipitate. Ganodermus 

 cochlear in the sense of Bresadola's naming at Leiden. I shall accept the 

 name for it, being the only one I have noted, though I do not believe it 

 exactly corresponds to the original figure, which showed a differently 

 marked stipe. It seems to be frequent in Java, and several collections are 

 at Leiden, but not found in any other museum or from any other country. 

 Stereum princeps. A large thick Stereum common in Java and the East 

 in general. Many collections are at Leiden and Kew, the latter under other 

 names. It ^as named and illustrated by Junghuhn from Java. Fomes 

 Haskarlii. Agreeing with the types in boxes 213 and 249 at Leiden 

 (=Fomes Korthalsii in sense of Bresadola, not original of Leveille.) A very 

 common species in Java, close if not same as Fomes senex in original sense 

 from Chili. Polystictus affinis as originally named and illustrated by Nees 

 from Java. Polystictus xanthopus very close to affinis (except mesopodial) 

 and these collections darker in color than the usual African collections. It 

 is very common in Africa. Trametes Persoonii. These specimens have 

 partly lost the characteristic red coloring surface of the pileus. Polystictus 

 versicolor, slightly different from the common temperate region forms. 

 Polystictus Blumei. Very close to Polystictus pergamenus, but these have 

 white pores and glabrous pileus. I think it is better referred as a form 

 of pergamenus, but this seems to be the common form in Java. Polyporus 

 lignosus. A most common species in the tropical world and said to be a 

 destructive parasite of the rubber tree. It is the plant referred to in 

 Fetch's writings under the (erroneous) name of Fomes semitostus. Syn- 

 onym is Fomes Kamphoeveneri Fr., which name is used by Bresadola. 



KREKE, REV. MARCUS, Ohio: 



Geaster pectinatus Polyporus rufescens. Unusual form with well 

 developed pilei, but a portion taking the form of Polyporus distortus and 

 showing, as I have published, that distortus in only the American abortive 

 form of rufescens Polyporus rufescens, pileate, normal. Spores very 

 abundant 4-5 x 6-8 hyaline, each guttulate Geaster saccatus Daedalea 

 confragosa. 



KUYPER, DR. J., Surinam: 



Polystictus sanguineus Schizophyllum commune Hirneola auric- 

 ula-Judae Polyporus lignosus Cladoderris dendritica. Fine specimens of 

 a very peculiar genus. 



LANGTON, THOS., Canada: 



Stereum purpurem Cantharellus floccosus Physalacria inflata, a 

 rare plant. Polyporus resinosus ( ? or benzoinus) Merulius aureum (true, 

 in my opinion). Stereum rufum Polystictus circinatus Fomes connatus 

 Lenzites saepiaria Lenzites protracta Pleurotus dryinus? (so named) 

 Stereum tabacinum.
