PHALLOIDS. 



In 1907 O. G. Lloyd of Cincinnati wrote a most excellent 

 account of the Phalloids of Australasia, and in 1909 a 

 4 Synopsis of the Known Phalloids.' In these papers the 

 account of the Phalloids in Cooke's ' Handbook of Australian 

 Fungi,' is critically reviewed and the number of species 

 recorded for this continent materially reduced. Having a 

 considerable number of Phalloids under our observation, 

 either in our private collections or in the National Her- 

 barium, we have in this paper recorded notes concerning 

 them which in some respects supplement Lloyd's accounts. 

 In addition, we append a list of the species given by Cooke 

 with their diagnoses as collated from Lloyd's work, as well 

 as a new list of the Australian Phalloids which may be 

 accepted as replacing that compiled by Cooke.
