identification by him of a specimen from Australia from J. T. 

 Paul as /. zonatus was probably a mistake. New South 

 Wales, spores oval, white, 5 '2 x 3'2 /x. 



208. Irpex saepiaria, Lloyd: Mycol. Notes, 48, 1917, p. 

 682, fig. 1019. — Lloyd considers that the record of /. 

 tabacinus (Cooke, No. 948) for Australia probably refers to 

 this species. Our New South Wales plants (locality not 

 noted) are described by Lloyd as follows in the above Notes : — 

 "Resupinate with reflexed pileus. Pileus coriaceous, dark 

 brown (Brussels), smooth. Context concolorous. Teeth 

 dense, 2 to 3 mm. long, concolorous, irregular. Hymenium 

 white. Setae densely covering the teeth, projecting 20 to 

 30 fx. Spores globose, 5 /x, smooth." He points out that this 

 species belongs to a section of Irpex corresponding to 

 "Hvmenochaete," and at one time described generically as 

 "Hydnochaete."
