zites striatum. Lentinus rudis. Lenzites repanda. Polyporus fruticum. 

 Fomes australis (young). Fomes leucophaeus. Stipilntc. Polyporus Feei. 



Daedalea stereoides. I think exactly the same as the type at Upsala, 

 of which I have a photograph. This is the first time I have received the 

 species. It should not be confused with "Polystictus" stereoides of Europe. 



Also two Xylarias, a Lentinus and a very curious genus unknown to me. 



RIDDLE, L. W., Massachusetts: 



Ganodermus lucidus, form carnosus. Two specimens, evidently the 

 same species, one with a short stem, deep colored, laccate, typical of the 

 stem of lucidus, the other subsessile. The pileus color is yellowish, faintly 

 laccate, and corresponds to Ganodermus Curtisii. The context is soft, 

 light and in this regard is same as Patouillard has called Ganodermus 

 carnosus, but in my opinion is a condition due to rapid development. 



ROMELL, L., Sweden: 



A critical collection, embracing most of the types of Mr. Romell's 

 recent paper on the Hymenomycetes of Lapland. The specimens are listed 

 as named by Mr. Romell. 



Poria Nuoljae, co-type. Merulius lepidus, co-type. Poria albobrun- 

 nea, co-type. Poria pannocincta, co-type. Merulius borealis, co-type. 

 Poria sericeomollis, co-type. Poria resinascens, co-type. Merulius himan- 

 tioides. Poria lenis. Polyporus pallescens. Poria vulgaris var. sulfuras- 

 cens. 



Polyporus stereoides. A very rare species, known principally in the 

 extreme north. This is the first good specimen that I have seen. 



Trametes protracta. This is the species that we get frequently from 

 correspondents and which we usually (and we think correctly) name Len- 

 zites saepiaria, trametes form. We think, however, Mr. Romell is also 

 correct and that it is the original Trametes protracta of Fries' Icones, also 

 his Hymenomycetes of Europe. Bresadola gives protracta as a synonym 

 for what he calls trabea (or vialis of Peck). I am inclined now to think 

 that Mr. Romell's interpretation of protracta Fries is the correct one. This 

 is a reversal of my opinion, as stated in Note 1, Letter 29. Corticium 

 (Pen.) Lydendi. Corticium jonides. 



SAXTON, W. T., South Africa: 



Fomes annularis. Ungulate, subpendulous, attached by a fixed point. 

 Crust hard, brown, smooth, dull, not laccate, with narrow, concentrated, 

 raised, annual rings. Context scanty, the pores reaching the crust. Pores 

 small, round, long, with faint annual layers. Pore context brown, the 

 mouths white. Spores 7x12 mic., obovate, truncate, distinctly rough": 

 This from its spores belongs to the section Ganodermus, and while we 

 usually recognize the section on sight we did not suspect this until we 

 examined the spores. In its general color, color of pore context, pore 

 mouths, and general aspect it resembles Fomes fomentarius and at first 

 we thought it would prove to be a form of this species. As it is attached 

 by a point it is probable that at times it may develop a short stipe like 

 ochrolaccatus. The characteristic rough spores (of the Ganodermus type)
