AMES, F. H., New York: 



Lenzites betulina. Daldinia concentrica. 



ARANZADI, C. de., Spain (a): 



Polyporus giganteus. Stereum undulatum. Polyporus rufescens. 

 Polyporus arcularius. Polyporus lucidus. A fine specimen (from Biscay) 

 with a stipe a foot long. 



Clavariopsis (?) Species probably unnamed. The tendency nowadays 

 to classify the tremellaceous plants on the basidia characters alone is 

 quite complicated and embarrassing. This specimen, by all the cid 

 writers, would have been called a Tremella. It is pure white and in 

 general appearance is very close to the common plant we have in the 

 United States usually known (but badly misknown) as "Tremella albida." 

 The basidia are not imbedded as in Tremella, but form a surface layer as 

 in an ordinary "homobasidia." Doubtless (from analogy) they are cruciately 

 divided when mature, though I find none such. They are all simply obovate 

 bodies, showing no sign of septation or sterigmata, but are probably im- 

 mature, as the moistened plant threw down no spores on drying. This 

 type of basidia is what Holterman has shown in his genus Clavariopsis of 

 Java, and to this genus I would provisionally refer the plant rather than 

 make a "new genus." In form, however, the plant is a Tremella, not a 

 Clavaria. We think no plant with similar characters has ever been noted 

 from Europe, though if it has been named by any of the old mycologists it 

 was undoubtedly as a Tremella. 



Also three Hydnums not recognized by me, as I have not studied the 

 foreign species of this genus. 



BALDWIN, D. A., Massachusetts: 

 Geaster hygrometricus. 



BALLOU, W. H., Forked River, N. J.: 

 Polyporus (Sp.) 



BARBIER, M. J., France (b): 



Hydnum amicum. Hydnum zonatum. 



Daedalea confragosa, Trametes form. This is labeled "Lenzites 

 trametea Quelet." It is the plant usually known in Europe as Trametes 

 Bulliardi, but it is only the trametoid form of Daedalea confragosa. 

 Polystictus perennis. 



Fomes fraxineus. Well illustrated by Bulliard under this name, and 

 I think there is no excuse for Quelet's name (incanus). Nor can I agree 

 with Quelet that it is a synonym for Fomes ulmarius, which is common in 

 England on elm. 



Polyporus Boucheanus (=Forquignoni Quelet). Hydnum caeruleum. 

 Irpex (Species unknown to me). 



Polpyorus stipticus, I believe, in the true sense, a white plant that 

 turns red when bruised. The white plant (not turning red) often called 

 stipticus in France, is another species, I think. 



BARKER, W. E., New Zealand (c): 



Secotium erythrocephalum. A bright red gasteromycete, only known
