This paper continues our records of the larger fungi of Australia, the 

 Basidiomycetes more particularly, both as to the occurrence of species and as to 

 their distribution and seasonal occurrence. Where we have already dealt with 

 a species in this series, this is indicated by a reference in brackets (e.g., III., 

 179) following the serial number. Our previous papers appeared in these Pro- 

 ceedings as follows:— No. 1, xlii., 1918, p. 88; No. 2, xliii., 1919, p. 11; and 

 No. 3, xliii., 1919, p. 262. As previously stated, the colour tints when specifically 

 noted are based either on Dauthenay's "Repertoire de Couleurs . . ." or on 

 Ridgway's "Colour Standards and Colour Nomenclature." 



We would like again to express our appreciation at being enabled to 

 reproduce coloured plates of some of the species with which we deal, and to 

 congratulate Miss Phyllis Clarke, of Sydney, and Miss R. C. Fiveash, of North 

 Adelaide, on their admirable delineations in water-colour. We again owe much 

 to Mr. C. G. Lloyd, of Cincinnatti, and from many friends in Australia we have 

 received valuable help in the shape of specimens.
