equivalent of any recognized name of a Pol\p()re in cither 

 system. 



Two such Hsts are given: first, Murrill's names, arranged 

 alphabetically, with the Saccardo synonyms alongside; second, 

 Saccardo's, also arranged alphabetically, with Murrill's names 

 compared in an opposite column. 



Mycologists will find these lists both convenient as well as 

 necessary to the clear understanding of the many recent changes 

 in the nomenclature of the Polypores. It may be of interest 

 to note that the Murrill list shows 71 genera; while the cor- 

 responding species in Saccardo are arranged in only 20 genera.
