7. Gymnopilus helvoliceps (Berk. & Curt.) 
A. (Flammula) helvoliceps Berk. & Curt. Jour. Linn. Soc. 10: 
290. 1868. 
Described from specimens collected by Wright in Cuba on 
rotten logs in woods. Said to be distinguished at once from 
G. chrysopellus by its much larger spores, which are oblong- 
ellipsoid, smooth or slightly punctate, ferruginous, 9-12 X 5 
Duss reports the species from Guadeloupe and Martinique. Speci- 
mens from South Carolina placed in this category at Kew are 
incorrectly determined. 
8. Gymnopilus penetrans (Fries) Murrill, M)’cologia 4: 254. 
1912 
Described from Sweden in 1815, and reported from Cuba and 
Australia. The only tropical specimens I have seen that appear 
to fit the species are those cited below, which indicates that it has 
crossed over from the mainland. 
Troy and Tyre, Cockpit Country, Jamaica, Murrill & Harris 
875, 1035. 
9. Gymnopilus subpenetrans sp. nov. 
Pileus broadly convex to expanded, rather thick, 2-4 cm. broad ; 
surface moist, not viscid, slightly fibrillose, ferruginous-orange, 
margin rather thick, not striate ; context whitish, mild but un- 
pleasant to the taste ; lamellae sinuate with a long-decurrent 
tooth, soon separating from the stipe ; spores ellipsoid, punctate 
or nearly smooth, ferruginous, 8-10 X 4-5 z*; stipe slightly taper- 
ing downward, concolorous, not paler below, somewhat fibrillose, 
solid with spongy interior, about 3 cm. long and 3 mm. thick. 
Type collected on a dead royal palm trunk at INIanagua, Cuba, 
May 25, 1906, C. F. Baker {Earle 526). Also collected on dead 
wood in the Cockpit Country, Jamaica, January 12-14, 1909.

10. Gymnopilus depressus sp. nov.
