BOURDOT, REV. H., France: 



We have received a fine lot of resupinate Thelephoraceae from Rev. 

 Bourdot, which will prove of great value if we ever come to take up the 

 American species, as our American plants are no doubt largely the same 

 as European. We consider Rev. Bourdot the best informed man on the 

 subject in Europe, and the only one who has done any systematic work of 

 much value. We are also indebted to him for determinations of large col- 

 lections we made in Sweden some years ago, and which we had never been 

 able to get determined by any one. We list the specimens as named by Rev. 

 Bourdot when received. 



Tremella epigaea. Compared with type, and I. think is correct. It 

 has slightly larger and more distinct hyphae than Tremella viscosa and also 

 larger basidia and spores. (Note by Miss Wakefield.) 



Tremella viscosa. Compared with the type in Herbarium Persoon. 

 "Not =Tremella viscosa Berk., which he figures with allantoid spores." 

 (Note by Miss Wakefield.) 



Gloeocystidium cretatum. Gloeocystidium albostramineum. Gloeocys- 

 tidium stramineum. Gloeocystidium luridum. Gloeocystidium conti- 

 guum. Gloeocystidium lactescens. Gloeocystidium alutaceum. 



Peniophora byssoidea. Peniophora pallidula. Peniophora heterogenea. 

 Peniophora sanguinea. Peniophora tomentella. 



Aleurodiscus macroporus. Aleurodiscus disciformisj Aleurodiscus 

 cerussatus. Aleurodiscus aurantius. Asterostromella ochroleuca. Dendro- 

 thele griseo-cana. 



Peniophora ericina. Peniophora longispora. Peniophora cremea. 

 Peniophora setigera. Peniophora carbonicola. Peniophora aegerita. 

 Peniophora laevigata. Peniophora pubera. Peniophora nivea. Peniophora 

 chordalis. Peniophora clematitis. Peniophora Molleriana. Peniophora 

 vermifera. Peniophora subsulphurea. Peniophora chaetophora. Penio- 

 phora clavigera. Peniophora macrospora. Peniophora subalutacea. Peni- 

 ophora laevis. Peniophora velutina. Peniophora mutata. Peniophora 

 juniperina. Peniophora Eichleriana. 



Odontia sudans. Odontia bicolor. Stereum Karstenii. Sebacina pcd- 

 lachica. Caldesiella viridis. Coniophora laxa. 



BUCK, P. Pio, Brazil: 



Polystictus sanguineus. Trametes hydnoides. Fomes australis. 

 Polyporus fruticum. Polystictus occidentalis. Lenzites repanda. Hirne- 

 ola auricula-Judae. Fomes senex. Stereum lobatum. 



Polyporus Patouillardii. This differs from all specimens I have previ- 

 ously seen of this species in its thinner context and subzonate surface. 



I was delighted to receive three species of the curious Ascomycetes that 

 Professor Alfred Moeller worked out with such care and detail, and of 

 which he gave such good illustrations. They are Ascopolyporus poly- 

 poroides, Mycomalus bambusinus, and a species I am unable to determine 

 from Professor Moeller's work. 



BUTLER, A. L., Massachusetts: 



Daedalea quercina. Fomes fomentarius. Stereum spadiceum. Poly- 

 porus betulinus. Polystictus hirsutus. Lenzites betulina.
