very many specimens of Stereum fasciatum from the United States, and 

 the following from foreign countries: 

 Argentine Leon Castillon. 

 Japan J. Umemura, A. Yasuda. 



STEREUM HIRSUTUM. A frequent plant in Europe, but mostly re- 

 placed in the United States by Stereum complicatum. The hymenium is 

 yellow in Europe, often turning cinereous when old, but judging from my 

 foreign collection it persists as yellow in Australia and South Africa. 



Australia H. B. Williamson, Miss E. J. Turner, Miss Ellen I. 



Benham, W. R. Guilfoyle. 



South Africa Miss A. V. Duthie, W. J. Newberry, Dr. H. Becker. 

 Madagascar Henri Perrier de la Bathie. 



STEREUM HIRSUTUM, form with clear, yellow hymenium and pale 

 (almost white) pubescence. 



South Africa I. B. Pole Evans. 



STEREUM VELLEREUM. This is quite close to hirsutum. The hairs 

 are of the same nature but are always pale. Hymenium also pale (never 

 yellow). It seems quite common in Australia and South Africa. I have 

 it also from Japan and I believe Northwest Canada. 

 Australia W. R. Guilfoyle, Edmund Jarvis. 

 Japan J. Umemura. 



Madagascar Henri Perrier de la Bathie. 

 South Africa I. B. Pole Evans. 



STEREUM RIMOSUM. This species has a soft, mottled, tomentose 

 pad-like covering to the pileus, and a thick, white hymenium which becomes 

 cinereous and often cracked in old specimens. Specimens from: 

 Madagascar Henri Perrier de la Bathie. 

 South Africa I. B. Pole Evans. 

 STEREUM NEO-CALEDONICUM, cotype. 



New Caledonia Ex. Mus. Paris. 



STEREUM CYPHELLOIDES. Very smooth, pure white, spathulate. 

 Specimens from: 



Madagascar Henri Perrier de la Bathie. 



STEREUM PRINCEPS. Thick, rigid, a frequent species in the East. 

 Japan M. T. Yoshinaga. 

 Java Dr. J. C. Koningsberger. 



STEREUM LEVEILLEANUM. A most peculiar species as to color, 

 Vandyke red. It has a velutinate hymenium of projecting hyphae, not 

 specialized, hence I do not know whether it is a "Lloydella" or not. 



Argentine Leon Castillon. 



STEREUM SPECTABILE. This has "dendrophytes" hence must be a 

 "new genus" I suppose. It is the only named species (except frustulosum) 

 with which I am familiar with "dendrophytes." The type specimen is at 

 Berlin, but the species is mostly represented in the museums by one of 

 Roumegeres' exsiccata, and what is the strangest part about it is this 

 number of the exsiccata is correctly named. 

 Australia Miss Margaret Flockton.
