JANSE, A. J. T., Africa: 



Polyporus scruposus, which is only a form of Polyporus gilvus. Poly- 

 porus scruposus was named from America, but we do not have in this 

 country such strongly rough specimens as these which are strongly marked. 

 There are, however, in the same collection, specimens almost smooth. 



Schizophyllum commune. Schizophyllum commune (small form). 

 Daldinia concentrica. Polyporus ochroleucus. Polystictus lanatus (yellow 

 form of occidentals). Polyporus grammocephalus. 



KNAEBEL, ERNEST, New Mexico (k): 



Catastoma pedicellatum. (Cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 121.) This is our only 

 native species with rough, strongly pedicellate spores. The peridium is 

 purplish umber, similar to Catastoma pila in color. I received it from W. H. 

 Long, Denton, Texas, several years ago and thought it was unnamed on ac- 

 count of this purplish color of peridium. On comparison now with my 

 Florida material, I find that Catastoma pedicellatum, when mature, has this 

 purplish color, hence although Mr. Long's as well as the present specimens 

 are much larger and deeper 'purple they have all the essential characters of 

 Catastoma pedicellatum, and in my opinion must be so referred. 



Geaster asper. These are not the typical form. The exoperidium is 

 more hygrometric, smoother, and cut into more narrow segments than the 

 type form. It is the same plant that Dr. Hollos has called Geaster pseu- 

 do-striatus (cfr. Geastreae, p. 43), and confirms to my mind the opinion I 

 have published that pseudo-striatus is but a synonym for asper. 



Fomes pinicola. Unusually strongly laccate specimen as well as ab- 

 normal in shape. Lycoperdon piriforme (typical). Lycoperdon piriforme. 

 Subglobose form in moss. 



Calvatia pachyderma. This species is confined to our Southwest and 

 in tropical America. It is only a form of Calvatia gigantea with thicker, 

 more scaly peridium. The spores and capillitium are the same. 



Fomes igniarius. Polystictus abietinus. Hypomyces lactifluorum. 

 Crucibulum vulgare, on pine cones. Bovista plumbea. 



Catastoma pila (cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 443). The spores are globose, 

 10-14 mic., tubercular, with a short pedicel (3 mic. long), or mostly apedi- 

 cellate. This species was named by Robert E. Fries, from Argentina, in 

 1909. The specimen had been submitted to me and I supposed it the same 

 as I had from W. H. Long, Denton, Texas, under this (mss.) name. On 

 comparison I find it quite different in its spores and that Mr. Long's 

 collection should have been referred to Catastoma pedicellatum. Catastoma 

 pila has been known to me under the (mss.) name Catastoma nigrescens 

 for several years. First, I received it (1905) from C. L. Shears, Garland, 

 Colorado; then, 1906, from Ernest Knaebel, Platte River, Colorado (alt. 

 9,000 feet); then, 1908, from Dr. J. F. Brenckle, Kulm, Nort Dakota, and 

 now have it abundantly from Ernest Knaebel collected, Valle Grande, New 

 Mexico. I have it also from Robert E. Fries, Argentina (cotype), and from 

 Rev. L. Mille, Quito, Ecuador.
