NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN FUNGI. 223 



G. plicatus Berk. 



This species according to Lloyd (67) is found at Madras, 

 Banin Island, Ceylon and New Caledonia. It has also been 

 recorded from Rookwood, N.S.W. by Lloyd (I.e.) and from 

 Centennial Park, Olieel (26 and 27). 



We have a fine series of additional specimens from the 

 following localities: — Sikes Gap, Tooloom Range (J. H. 

 Maiden, December, 1909) ; Badgery's Lookout, Tallong 

 (A. G. Hamilton, September, 1911); Gladesville (Miss M. 

 Flockton, July, 1911); Parramatta (J. B. Oleland, July, 

 1912). The spores of our specimens are finely warty and 

 measure 4 to 5/* in diameter. 



G. tenuipes Berk.; (Cooke, 37, No. 1250). 



This species was originally recorded for Tasmania by 

 Berkeley (16) who published a figure in the same work It 

 has since been recorded from Byng near Oanoblas by one 

 of us (27, p. 689). Lloyd (68) has examined the specimens 

 at Kew (England) that are from Tasmania and New South 

 Wales, and has expressed an opinion that it is an inter- 

 mediate species between plicatus and pectinatus and 

 suggests that it should be referred to G. pectinatus. We 

 have a specimen collected by one of us (J.B.O.) in April 

 1913, on the Hawkesbury River, the warty spores measuring 

 4*3 to 5/x. 



G. Bryantii Berk.; Lloyd (67. p. 16). 



Hawkesbury River (J. B. Oleland, July 1912). 



A very large and remarkably handsome Geaster found on 

 the Hawkesbury River under a rock seems certainly refer- 

 able to this species. The lead-coloured pruinose covering 

 of the peridium was very marked. The warty spores 

 measured 7p in diameter. (Plate XXV, f.)
