LETTER No. 43. 



Report on specimens received since October 1st. My best thanks are 

 extended to those who have favored me with specimens. I desire es- 

 pecially to thank Mr. Weir, who has sent me one of the finest collections 

 from Idaho that I have ever gotten. 



In my printed letter I do not give authorities for names, believing 

 that the binomial should represent a plant name, but in acknowledging 

 the specimens to my correspondents, I give the "authority," in event they 

 desire to use the same. All specimens are acknowledged by private letter 

 as soon as they come into my hands. Foreign correspondents can send 

 specimens to my English address and they will reach me promptly, although 

 in countries where there are direct parcels post arrangements with the 

 United States, it is best to send them by parcels post direct to me. Speci- 

 mens may be sent to either of the following addresses:

BATES, REV. J. M., Nebraska (a): 



Polystictus versicolor. Polystictus hirsutus. Irpex lacteus. Daedalea 

 unicolor, irpicoid form. Lenzites saepiaria. Polyporus gilvus. Lenzites 

 saepiaria, Trametes form. Fomes leucophaeus. 



Fomes pomaceus on Prunus Americana, as named by Mr. Bates, and 

 I think, correctly, although this is of an unusually regular, ungulate shape. 

 Generally, pomaceus is subresupinate with imperfectly formed pilei. 



DONOR UNKNOWN, Tasmania (b): 



Polystictus cinnabarinus; some have bleached almost white. Rhizo- 

 pogon (Sp.). Polyporus. Probably unnamed, but, according to my notes 

 at Kew, I should like to compare it with hololeucus, leucocreas, and por- 

 tentosus before stating definitely. It has the appearance of an obese speci- 

 men of caesius of Europe, grayish surface, pure white context, discolored 

 pores. The spores, however, are subglobose, hyaline, 8 mic., with a large 

 gutta, totally different from the spores of caesius. 



FROGGATT, W. W., Australia (c) : 



Polystictus cinnabarinus. Geaster velutinus. Polystictus sanguineus. 

 Schizophyllum commune. Mycenastrum Corium. Tylostoma McAlpini-
