Lenzites Japonica, I think, on comparison with my photograph of the 

 (poor) type at Kew. The specimens should be compared. This is close 

 to Lenzites betulina. Daedalea (Sp.). Polystictus. Unknown to me. 



Polyporus albellus, for me, although it is a species much in dispute. 

 Bresadola would refer it, I think, to Polyporus lacteus, but I can not agree 

 that it answers to Fries' description. Many authors refer it to Polyporus 

 chioneus, which it may be as to Fries' Hym. Europaei, but not his original 

 description. It has cylindrical, curved, allantoid spores, 1x5, and is com- 

 mon in America, rare in Europe. 



Polyporus (Sp.). Fomes pinicola. Polystictus versatilis. Polyporus 

 arcularius. Ozonium. Polyporus heteroporus. Polyporus vinosus. 

 Schizophyllum commune. Lenzites repanda. Lenzites saepiaria. Favolus 

 Europaeus. Polystictus versicolor. Polystictus hirsutus (form albidus). 

 Polyporus resinosus. Polystictus. Fomes minutus. Polystictus (Sp.). 

 Daedalea unicolor (very?). Daedalea. Unknown to me. It is 

 quite close to Trametes cervinus (Trametes mollis) and may be so referred 

 as a form. Lenzites species. Daedalea Kusanoi (?). Fomes. Un- 

 known to me. Context snuff brown (No. 303, Rep. Couleurs). Hyphae 

 deep yellow. Basidia (and I happened to find one quite distinct) hyaline. 

 Spores (if I have correctly found them) globose, hyaline, f 6% x 4. Cystidia 

 none. These are in the main the same microscopic characters as Fomes 

 robustus of Europe, but the European species has an even surface, not 

 sulcate, uneven zoned, as this plant. Lenzites subferruginea Berk (?). 

 Fomes. Unknown to me, but close to Fomes ribis. Color context burnt 

 umber (304 Rep. Couleurs). Setae none. Spores not found by me, but 

 probably pale yellow, as the hymenial elements are yellow. Daldinia. 

 vernicosa. 



YOUNG, MISS ESTHER, Ohio: 

 Hydnum Schiedermayeri. 



ZENKER, DR. G., Africa (bb) : 



Polyporus (Amaurodermus) trulliformis. Entire plant "auriscalpium" 

 shape, ferruginous brown. Pileus about 2 cm. in diameter, with dull rugu- 

 lose, slightly zonate surface. Pores minute, with concolorous mouths. Stipe 

 pleuropodial, slender, 2-3 mm. thick, with a dull mat surface. Spores oval, 

 12 x 16 mic. colored, distinctly rough, apicula none. This species belongs to 

 Section 6c of the recent Stipitate Polyporoids. In general size and shape it 

 is the same as our figure 407 (Polyporus auriscalpium) and differs from this 

 species (of the American tropics) in its spore characters. It evidently 

 proceeds from a rooting rhizome. 



Schizophyllum commune. 



Polystictus caperatus. Some of these specimens have a curious scrobic- 

 ulate top, not normal, I think. The plant in Africa is not as strongly zoned 

 as in the American tropics. Polystictus Fischeri, as named by Hennings, 

 is the same form. 



Polyporus lignosus. This collection is not as lignescent as usual. 

 Lenzites repanda. Very thin form. Polystictus occidentalis. Context not 

 as yellow as in my African collection. Thelephora (Sp.). 



Also three Stereums, species unknown to me, as I have not studied the 

 foreign species of this genus.
