NOBLE, MRS. M. A., Florida. 



Lentinus villosus Scleroderma Cepa Scleroderma (cfr. Geaster) 

 Bovistella Ohiensis Geaster hygrometricus (unopened) Polystictus foci- 

 cola (unusually large specimen) Polystictus floridanus. 



OVERHOLTS, L. 0., Ohio: 



Stereum diaphanum. The nicest collection of this rare species I 

 have ever gotten. Mucronella calva. Same I think as I have collected in 

 Sweden. Daedalea unicolor Polystictus biformis Boletinus porosus 

 Polyporus Spraguei Polyporus cuticularis Fomes fraxinophilus Poly- 

 porus gilvus Polyporus distortus Merulius incarnatus Fomes leuco- 

 phaeus Polyporus dichrous And others. 



PARISH, S. B., California: 



Trametes hispida (typical) Trametes. Close to hispida, but pure 

 white and not so strongly pubescent. It is surely only a variety, but merits 

 a special name. 



PECKOLT, GUSTAVE, Brazil: 



Lentinus velutinus Hexagona variegata, old and effete. 



PEPPER, C. W., Rhode Island: 



Trametes hydnoides (from West Indies). 



RICK, REV. J., Brazil: 



Polystictus caperatus Fomes fasciatus Also about twenty other 

 collections, Polystictus, etc., the most of which I am unable to name here 

 at present. 



ROPES, WILLIS H., Massachusetts: 

 Lycoperdon gemmatum. 



RYAN, H. VAL., India: 



Stereum versicolor. This appears to me exactly the same plant 

 that we have so common in the United States, there known as Stereum 

 versicolor or Stereum fasciatum. In the tropics it takes more luxuriant 

 forms and is there called Stereum lobatum. All are virtually the same, I 

 think. Daldinia concentrica - Polystictus pergamenus Fomes nigro- 

 laccatus Fomes applanatus. This accords more closely to the type form in 

 Europe rather than to the usual tropical form (Fomes australis) as one would 

 naturally expect. Polyporus (cfr. gilvus). This has the structure of P, 

 gilvus, but is a thick, imbricate, sulcate form. It probably has names as a 

 "Fomes," as many tropical forms of gilvus have. Polyporus picipes. This 

 is the same thin, black form of P. varius we have in the United States 

 Genus unknown to me, but an abnormal growth caused by a microscopic 

 species. Fomes senex. True, I think, not in the usual sense. Fomes. Re- 

 lated to ulmarius of Europe. 



SCARFE, W. A., Caversham, New Zealand: 



Secotium erythrocephalum Cyttaria Gunnii.
