Gaudichaudii (Cfr. Stipitate Polyporoids, fig. 435), Polystictus elongatus 

 (See Note 125). Polystictus. I do not know whether this has a special 

 name or not. It is only a form of Polystictus hirsutus, with softer, silky, 

 hairs. Polyporus secernibilis (Cfr. Letter 45, page 4). Polyporus sul- 

 phureus? Stereum princeps (See Note 126). 



Polyporus montanus. This is the European analogue of Polyporus 

 Berkeleyi, and a small edition of it. It has same habits and same peculiar 

 spores (Cfr. Stipitate Polyporoids, page 148). Polyporus Berkeleyi is a 

 large and frequent species in the United States. It grows usually at base 

 of oak trees, and, I am told, is a root rot of the tree. What is practically 

 the same plant occurs in Europe (rarely), and has been called Polyporus 

 montanus. Mr. Cave's specimens have the general characters of tha Eu- 

 ropean form. It (or a near species) is known at Kew from a single speci- 

 men from New Zealand (called Polyporus Zelandicus), and from one 

 from Japan (called Polyporus Dickinsii). Polyporus variiis. Hexagona um- 

 brinella. Trametes Carteri (See Note 127). 



DAVIS, SIMON, Massachusetts: 



Polystictus conchifer. Fomes pinicola. Polystictus hirsutulus. Bo- 

 vista plumbea. 



Polyporus Spraguei Polyporus albellus. 



DEARNESS, J., Ontario: 



Seven specimens of Clavarias and resupinate Thelephoraceae, families 

 which I do not know. 



DUPAIN, VICTOR, France: 



Stereum pallidum. Very glad to get the specimen, for while I have 

 seen it in several museums of Europe, these are the first I have ever 

 received. Stereum (Aleurodiscus) disciforme. 



DUTHIE, MISS A., South Africa: 



Lenzites betulina. Polystictus sanguineus. Tylostoma poculatum. 

 "Isaria" flabelliformis. Polyporus gilvus (scrupose). Phellorina Delastrei. 

 Cyathus vernicosus. 



FARIS, BEN H., Ohio: 



Phallus imperialis. Of interest as the first collection of this species 

 made around Cincinnati. 



FRIES, THORE, C. E., from Swedish Lapland: 



Bovista nigrescens. Bronzed variety. 



Calvatia borealis, n. s., as named by Mr. Fries. It is a very distinct 

 "new species" and well named. Very common in the mountains of Lapland, 

 Mr. Fries states. I believe it only occurs in these extreme northern re- 

 gions. Calvatia saccata. Lycoperdon umbrinum. 



FROGGAT, WALTER W., Australia: 



Polyporus abruptus (see Note 128). Polystictus sanguineus. Poly- 

 porus lignosus. Daldinia concentrica. Trametes obstinatus. Polystictus
