The following notes are extracts from the letters of Mr. Ellis, accompany- 

 ing the specimens : 



* " Polyporus rimosus, Berk. Yours is just the same as specimens col- 

 lected in Ohio by Prof. Morgan and determined by Cooke. Polyporus salicinus 

 is darker and smoother, margin and all, and does not crack open like this. It 

 is closely allied to /'. igniarius, Fr. Your specimen is the first I have seen from 

 litis region.'''' 



f " Fistulina Hepatica is credited to this country, and it is not absolutely 

 impossible that your No. 8 is that species. It appears, however, to be the 

 same as I find here, and which Cooke says is the F. pallida, B. t\: Raw" 



| " No. 12 must be C. salicinum, I think. I see no difference between 

 your specimen and mine on willow. Yours is marked 'on alder.' Is it not 

 on willow ? " 



|| " Lycoperdon cyathiforme, Bosc. . . . When young and white like 

 cheese curd, this species is good eating. Peel off the outer bark, slice and 

 fry it."
