Kingston is situated on the dry side of the island and few 
fungi are to be found there except after the heavy rains in May 
and October, nevertheless a number of species, especially those 
poe and old logs in the fields contained certain common tropical 
American species in abundance, such as Gloeophyllum striatum,

the 5:15 train for Port Antonio, arriving at the Titchfield 
Hotel about 7 o’clock. On the way to Annotta Bay we passed 
an old native sugar-mill, but the heavy rain prevented us from

Our first excursion from Port Antonio was made December

very heavy. On a steep ridge to the west of Moore Town a 
stretch of moist virgin forest was found which yielded a num-
