Owing to the difficulty in finding spores, I can not say posi- 

 tively that the specimens listed below from Florida and adjacent 

 states are the same as those given above. They are very similar, 

 but without the glaucous bloom, which may have been removed 

 by some treatment to destroy insects.

Described as follows from specimens collected by Duss on a 

 dead trunk of Symplocos martinicensis in Guadeloupe : 



" Larges plaques dures, ligneuses, planes ou a peine bosselees, 

 grises a la surface, rouge brique a l'interieur; pores superficiels 

 (100 /a de profondeur), tres petits (50-65 fx de diametre), angu- 

 leux-sinueux, irreguliers, a cloisons minces, rigides, de 20-30^ 

 d'epaisseur, grises dans leur portion libre avec la tranche blan- 

 chatre, souvent incompletes et prenant alors l'aspect irpico'ide. 

 Trame epaisse de 1 a 3 millim., brique, dure, traversee par les 

 cloisons. 



" Espece distincte de P. aurantiotingens par sa trame rouge 

 brique et non brune ou noiratre." 



I have specimens from Duss (No 592) collected on Symplocos 

 and also a fine collection made on Fergus Mountain, Montserrat, 

 January 30, 1907, /. A. Shafer 886. The latter specimens show 

 the cinereous hymenial surface and the brick-red, stratose interior 

 so characteristic of the species, as well as a handsome, smooth, 

 dark-brown border encircling the fungus.

The only American specimen that appears to belong here is 

 one collected on rotten wood at Ottawa, Canada, by Macoun, 

 February 10, 1883. Ellis collected specimens on oak at Newfield, 

 New Jersey, which resemble authentic material, but their identity
