CHEEL, EDWIN, Australia: 



Polyporus rhipidium "fairly common in this state." Polystictus 

 sanguineus. Thicker than ordinary and approaches Polyporus cinnabarinus 

 Polystictus versicolor, pale form. Hexagona rigida, fine specimens. 

 Polyporus luteo-olivaceus. Merulius umbrinus. 



COOK, MEL. T., New Jersey: 

 Scleroderma Geaster. 



CRADWICK, WM., Jamaica: 



Polystictus maximus. Same as type in Montagne's herbarium. 

 Polystictus (sp.). It has the surface and context of hirsutus and the pores 

 of occidentalis. Panus (Sp.) Trametes hydnoides Fomes fasciatus. 



DEARNESS, JOHN, Ontario: 



Hymenochaete corrugata? Peniophora incarnata? Valsaria cincta 

 (as named). Daedalea confragosa -Thelephora pedicellatum Pleurotus 

 nidulans Solenia anomala Exidia glandulosa. 



DUTHIE, MISS A. V., Transvaal: 



Schizophyllum commune Thelephora terrestris Polystictus san- 

 guineus Xylaria Sp. Polyporus dichrous Stereum hirsutum Stereum 

 (Sp.) Polyporus hispidus Stereum lobatum Lentinus (Sp.) Polystictus 

 versicolor. Typical. 



EVANS, I. B., Pole, Africa: 



Auricularia delicata (Fries, as Laschia). This was named from 

 South Africa as Laschia delicata Fr. and is readily the type of the genus 

 Laschia. This genus at the present day, however, has acquired quite a 

 different signification. Hexagona Pobeguini. (Cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 500.) 

 This species only known from Africa is recognized by the brown, velutinate 

 pores (also pileus when young). Polystictus flavus (cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 

 450). This is a common irpicoid Polystictus of the tropics and can be 

 called either Irpex or Polystictus. Polyporus gilvus. Very common in 

 Africa, also United States. Absent from Europe. Schizophyllum commune 

 Polystictus sanguineus Polystictus iodinus Polystictus lanatus. This is 

 only a more yellow form of Polystictus occidentalis. Polystictus zonatus. 

 Almost typical as to color with the European form. Polystictus versicolor 

 Polystictus velutinus Polystictus hirsutus. H'hitc form which does not 

 occur in Europe.^-Fomes Haskarlii (=Fomes Korthalsii Bres. not Lev.) 

 (=? Fomes calcitratus Berk!) (=? Fomes senex Mont. Juan Fernandez 

 not Cuba.) Cyathus vernicosus. Has smaller and more tapering cups 

 but otherwise same as ordinary form. Spores are 8 x 12. Stereum hir- 

 sutum Stereum versicolor as always determined by Fries and Berkeley. 

 Lycoperdon pusillum (or very close). Lycoperdon endotephrum Stereum 

 spadiceum Polyporus gilvus. The form with a rough surface is Polyporus 

 scruposus Fr. but it is hardly a good form of gilvus. Fomes rimosus. This 

 has markedly smaller pores than the type form from Australia, but with 

 the same color, surface, spores, hyphae, I should feel like referring it to 

 this species (Cfr. Note 26). Fomes (Ganodermus) australis Trametes
