SOUTH AFRICAN FUNGI. 
By C. Kalchbrenner and M. C. Cooke. 
The majority of specimens from which the following species 
have been described were collected by Professor McOwan at 
Somerset East, and communicated to Herr C. Kalchbrenner. A 
few were obtained in Natal by Mr. J. M. Wood, of Inanda. They 
have been determined for some months, but publication has unfor- 
tunately been delayed.
