large, 12 x 20 mic. brown, and sculptured . In general appearance and 

 color this resembles Polyporus resinosus (of Fries)' but is quite different 

 in its ligneous structure and peculiar conidial spores. The pores are not 

 distinctly stratified in the type specimen, but we place it in Fomeson 

 account of its evidently woody, perennial nature. Type specimen from 

 Henri Perrier de la Bathie, Madagascar. 



Polyporus licnoides. Not typically marked as the South Ameri- 

 can form, but evidently the same species. 



Polyporus gilvus same as in United States. 



Polyporus carneo-fulvus. This is quite close to gilvus except the 

 reddish tinge of the pileus. The pore mouths have the same soft feel 

 as those of Fomes Haskarlii. 



Polyporus. An unnamed species belonging to a new Section 

 ( 11 c ) of Lignosus. It has gilvous context and pale yellow spores 

 (globose, apiculate, 8 mic. ) In general habits and stipe attachments it 

 resembles some Ganodermus ( as Bmini ) but in context and spores 

 it is quite distinct from all others. Unfortunately but one little speci- 

 men was sent and I should not like to name it from this material. 



Fomes pectinatus(?)Same macroscopically but spores are 3^x4, 

 colored . Setae none. I have never found spores in the types of pectinatus. 



Ganodermus mangiferae. This species has a peculiar color by 

 by which may it be recognized. 



Stereum lobatum, as the luxuriant, tropical form of Stereum 

 versicolor is called. 



Stereum. ( Section L,loydiella ) . Curious in the way it contracts 

 in drying. Hymenium red on bruising. 



Stereum. Species unknown to me. Resembling the common 

 Stereum lobatum, and strongly lobed. It is allied to spadiceum how- 

 ever, as thehymenium turns red on being bruised. Cystidia none. 



Mycenastrum Corium. Five large specimens of this very peculiar 

 puff ball. Exactly the same as from Australia, Europe and America. 



Polystictus xanthopus, ( cfr. Synopsis Section Microporus 

 page 50) a characteristic plant of Africa and the East. 



Fomes Pappianus, This is distinguished from Fomes rimosus 

 (which also grows in South Africa,) by its distinctly larger pores. 



Also a Fomes, two Polystictus and two L,entinus unknown to me. 



These specimens were sent to my Paris address, forwarded tq 

 me in Cincinnati and received by me in May, 1912.
