Through the courtesy of Mr. Percy Wilson, the writer was 

 allowed to examine all of the mounted specimens of Podocarpus 

 in the phanerogamic herbarium of the New York Botanical 

 Garden, and more than a dozen specimens of Corynelia which 

 had been accidentally collected were found there. Professor A. 

 J. Eames of Cornell University examined in like manner all of 

 the material of Podocarpus in the Gray herbarium at Harvard 

 University and obtained several valuable specimens. A similar 

 search was made by Doctor S. M. Zeller in the herbarium of the 

 Missouri Botanical Garden, and by Miss Vera K. Charles in the 

 herbarium of the National Museum at Washington, D. C. A 

 considerable number of valuable specimens were obtained in this 

 way and the writer wishes to express his appreciation of the aid 

 given him in this search. All the possibilities known to the 

 writer for obtaining material of the group for study have been 

 exhausted, and he feels that no additional material, the examina- 

 tion of which would contribute materially to the completeness of 

 this paper, is available to him. Nevertheless it is probable that 

 in those tropical countries in which fungi have been little studied, 

 other species of the group will be discovered. It is hoped that 

 the publication of this paper will stimulate the search for these 

 forms. Finally the writer wishes to express his indebtedness to 

 Professor H. H. Whetzel for the suggestion that the monograph 

 be prepared, and for aid and encouragement given during the 

 progress of the investigation. Thanks are also due to Mr. W. R. 

 Fisher for the care taken in the preparation of the photographs 

 which illustrate the paper, and to Mr. C. E. Char don who, under 

 the writer's immediate direction, prepared the plate of drawings 

 and the phyllogenetic chart which occurs in the text.

Systematic Relations of the Coryneliaceae 



The family Coryneliaceae was erected in 1891 by Saccardo (45) 

 to embrace the two genera Corynelia and Tripospora. As orig-
