pores large and unequal, unusual, but due, I think, to drying. Fomes 

 Ohiensis. Polyporus gilvus. A thick, obese, hard form. Trametes malicola. 

 Polyporus fumosus. Polyporus spumeus. The context of this specimen 

 is rather soft and spongy, and that of specimens I collected in Sweden is 

 hard as a rock, yet I think they are undoubtedly the same thing. 



Fomes conchatus. A thick, ungulate plant very different in general ap- 

 pearance from the usual thin, conchoid plant. But with everything else, sur- 

 face, pores, context color, spores, and hymenial setae exactly the same, it must 

 be so referred. Fomes annosus. Stereum versicolor. Polyporus gilvus. 

 Polystictus cinnabarinus. Trametes hispida. Daedalea confragosa. Hyd- 

 num ochraceum. Polyporus dichrous. Polystictus versicolor. Polyporus 

 brumalis. Guepinia spathulata. Polyporus adustus. Polyporus resinosus. 

 Fomes leucophaeus. Daedalea unicolor. Peziza aurantia. Lenzites be- 

 tulina. Polystictus hirsutus. Boletinus pcrosus. Panus stipticus. 



PARISH, S. B., California: 



Podaxon Farlowii. A fine collection made in the Salton Bottom. (See 

 Note 46). Phellorina macrospora. (See Note 50). Pleurotus nidulans. 



PATTERSON, FLORA W., Washington, D. C.: 



Phallus imperialis. Eggs from Richmond, Va. 



PECK, PROF. CHAS., New York: 



Polyporus dryadeus. A rare plant in the United States. Prof. Peck 

 finds it on elm. In Europe, it usually grows on oak. 



PECKOLT, GUSTAVE, Brazil: 

 Lentinus villosus. 



PERRIER DE LA BATHIE, HENRI, Africa: 



Polyporus (Amaurodermus) rugosus. Fine specimens and the first I 

 have received from Africa. The plant is not exactly same as those from 

 the East Indies, but too close to separate. The surface is more mat, spores 

 (12 mic.) are slightly larger, and not so deeply colored. Stereum versicolor. 

 Polystictus affinis. Many infected with a yellow parasitic species of Hypo- 

 myces. Hypomyces (Sp.) on Polystictus affinis. Ganodermus mastoporus. 

 Cycloderma fusca (cfr. M. N., p. 487). A very abundant collection. 

 Polystictus sanguineus. "Commun dans toute Tile" as it is in every 

 tropical country in the world. 



Polystictus vellereus. This proves to be quite a frequent plant in the 

 East and Africa and is an analogue of pinsitus of the American tropics. 

 It is the same as Hennings has named cryptomereae from Japan, under 

 which name I have heretofore determined specimens. Sometimes it is 

 reduced at the base and then I think it is same as pocos of Berkeley. 

 Polyporus antilopus. Calvatia longicaudum. I only receive this species 

 from Africa. 



Hirneola squamosa (as Auricularia). This is the most interesting 

 specimen in this lot. Very rare and in Africa only, I judge. This is the 

 first specimen I have gotten. In fact I never saw it except the type at
