forms, the one much larger than the other, but agreeing in 

 essential characters. 



9. Lentinus Lecomtei, Fr. Ep. p. 388; Salle, no. 3. On dead 

 wood. A single specimen only, but probably common, as in all 

 tropical countries. 



10. Lentinus tener, Klotzsch ; Fries, Ep. p. 389 ; Salle, no. 5, 

 27. On dead wood.

 dead wood. 



I see no difference between the British Guiana and St. Do- 

 mingo species, except the presence in the latter of spicules on 

 the gills which are rather more broadly serrate. 



12. I^entinus eugrammus, Mont. Cuba, p. 414 ; Salle, no. 26. 

 On dead wood. A single resupinate specimen. 



13. Panus connatus, n. s. Csespitoso-connatus : pileo piano 

 demum depresso glabro lamellisque latiusculis integris decurren- 

 tibus pallidis ; stipite tomentoso. Salle, no. 8. On dead wood. 



Pileus 2 inches or more across, smooth, at first plane or rather 

 convex, then more or less depressed. Stems 1-2 inches high, 

 \-± an inch thick, more or less downy, striate, from the descend- 

 ing decurrent gills, which are rather broad and quite entire. 



This species is allied to P. conchatus, but the stem is well de- 

 veloped and never obsolete. In very young individuals the pileus 

 is convex with decidedly decurrent gills. In age the stem some- 

 times becomes lateral. 



14. Panus concavus, n. s. Eximie csespitosus: pileo infundi- 

 buliformi glabro ; stipitibus centralibus glabris basi connatis ; 

 lamellis integris decurrentibus angustis ; postice vix anastomo- 

 santibus. Salle, no. 9. On wood. 



Much tufted; pileus 1-1^ inch across, smooth, infundibu- 

 liform; margin ai*ched. Stems 1^-2 inches or more high, about 

 1| line thick, tufted, connate at the base, slightly attenuated up- 

 wards. Gills narrow, very decurrent, entire, scarcely at all ana- 

 stomosing below. 



This has very much the appearance of Lentinus empitoms, 

 now referred by Fries, in his ' Novse Symbolse Mycologicse* just 

 published, to the genus Panus, but differing in its infundibuliform 

 pileus. In the larger specimen the gills end in mere stripe on 

 the stem. 



15. Schizophyllum commune, Fr. Ep. p. 403; Salle, no. 16. On 

 wood. Extremely abundant, as in all tropical countries. 



16. Lenzites repanda, Fr. Ep. p. 404; Salic, no. 19. On dead 

 wood. Small discoloured specimens. 



17. Lenzites striata, Fr. Ep. p. 406 ; Salle, no. 18. On charred 

 wood.
