VON DE LEK, H. A. A., Holland: 



Polyporus alutaceus on Abies. Polyporus cuticularis. This specimen 

 was so large and thick that at first I could not believe it to be cuticularis. 

 However, it has same context color and spores. The general aspect of the 

 plant is more like that of Polyporus hirsutus, but the spores and context 

 color are both different. 



VON SCHRENK, H., Texas: 



Polyporus sulphureus. Polyporus texensis. Growing on the Mesquite 

 and causing a heart decay. Polyporus texensis is quite close to Polyporus 

 corruscans and should be compared with it. I have not the material at 

 Kew to make the comparison.

 leucomelas. Polyporus ilicicola. (See Note 77). Hydnum (probably un-
