 — Mr. C. White, Government Botanist, Queensland, has 

 kindly given us a portion of the specimen identified as this 

 species for F. M. Bailey, and referred to in Cooke under No. 

 820. It bears a note, "Bailey's No. 430, on rafters of a 

 verandah, Brisbane." In April and June, 1917, we obtained 

 at Burnside, Adelaide, on the rotting trunk of Firms, sp., 

 portion of a Form which had dried a reddish-brown. This 

 colour is a little deeper and redder than that of Bailey's speci- 

 men, but the plants seem otherwise identical. 



Another species apparently, which has dried a dark 

 brown, is like Bailey's specimen, save that the pores are twice 

 as big. It formed an easily separable crust under the boards 

 of a damp kitchen sink, Neutral Bay, Sydney, October, 1916.

 Syll., 6035; Cooke: Handb. Austr. Fungi, No. 829 (Q'land,. 

 Vict., W. Austr., Tas.). — The following agree with an Ameri- 

 can specimen kindly sent to us by C. G. Lloyd. On dying 

 trunk, Neutral Bay, Sydney, August, 1912 ; Moss Vale, 

 November, 1918; Ararat (A. J. Semmens, No. 10). We 

 have a number of other specimens, probably of several species, 

 resembling but not identical with Lloyd's specimen. 



Trametes. 



195. Trametes lactinea, Berk.: Ann. Nat. Hist., x., 371; 

 Sacc: Syll., 6204; Cooke: Handb. Austr. Fungi, No. 849 

 (Q'land, N.S. Wales, S. Austr.). — Specimens have been 

 identified for us by C. G. Lloyd. Milson Island, Hawkesbury 

 River, July; Tuggerah, October; Kew, March, pores turn 

 reddish on bruising when fresh (Lloyd, No. 343) ; Malanganee, 

 near Casino, August, pores turn reddish on bruising ; on iron- 

 bark, Gympie, Queensland, June, red marks from bruising 

 when fresh (E. Swain). See also Proc Linn. Soc N.S. 

 Wales, xxxii., p. 203 (1907), for previous record. 



196. Trametes protect, Berk. — Lloyd ha» identified speci- 

 mens for us (No. 438), growing on a fence at Kendall, Decem- 

 ber, 1917; he considers the species as better placed under 

 Polystictus. We have also collected specimens on dead wood 

 on Bribie Island, Moreton Bay, September, 1918.
