undatuSy Eng. Fl., it should be observed, is not the true species 

 of Per soon, of which we have lately seen an authentic specimen. 

 It is probably a state of Pol. conchatus. The true plant seems, as 

 far as I can judge from the dry specimen, to resemble Pol. vitreus,

 beech, Oswestry, Rev. T. Salwey ; King's Cliffe. 



Polyp, cervinus, Fr. and Schwein., appears to be a different 

 species. The present is remarkable for its large pores and rigid 

 dissepiments, especially when young, which would almost justify 

 its being referred to Trametes. Persoon's plant is rather cine- 

 reous than fawn-coloured. This species is marked by Nees von 

 Esenbeck in M. Desmaziere's herbarium Pol. connatus, Fr., which 

 is a totally different thing, and of which I have Swedish speci- 

 mens.

 This cannot be, as Fries supposes, a state of P. igniarius. It 



is much more nearly allied to Pol. contiguus, Fr., which is the 

 same with Pol. megaloporus, P.

350. Polyp, bombycinus, Fr. Ep. p. 483. On decayed wood, 

 Portbury near Bristol, C. E. Broome. It has also been found 

 near Bristol by Mr. H. 0. Stephens. The specimens found by the 

 latter gentleman however have smaller pores, though agreeing 

 in colour and general aspect.

Distinguished by its distinct xylostromatoid substratum, which 

 separates easily from the matrix. 



352. Polyp, obducens, Pers. Myc. Eur. vol. ii. p. 104. On an 

 old rotten stump, Failand near Bristol; also at Southwick, Norths. 



This species forms thick strata consisting of several layers, the 

 growth of as many years. Chevallier's Polyp. Radula is probably 

 the same species. 



353. Polyp, aneirinus, Fr. Ep. p. 487. On dead fallen twigs, 

 Edinburgh, Dr. Bauchop. 



Distinguished by its large pores, the hymenium of which has 

 a peculiar smooth waxy aspect. 



354. Polyp, vaporarius, Fr. Ep. p. 487. On dead wood : very 

 common. 



This species, or one most closely allied, occasionally occurs on 

 the hymenium of Lenzites betulina.

 lithgowshire, Dr. J. C. Bauchop.

 demum confluens margine quandoque breviter reflexo tomentoso .
