736. — In identifying specimens (No. 432) for us, found on a 

 fallen trunk at Kendall in December, 1917, Lloyd (Letter 

 68, Note 736) says as follows: — "In my Fomes Synopsis as 

 a Fomes, but really a Trametes. The type is a thin plant, 

 hardly J cm. thick, but this specimen is 2 cm. thick. The 

 surface is not of as dark a colour as the type, but no doubt 

 will be when it gets to be as old as the type. 'Half -toasted' is 

 a good name for it now, but not for the type now."

 this species, adds:- — "I judge from my photograph of the

 I am not sure if it is distinct. It has similar cystidia on the
