in every respect to the figure given by Fries, Icon. pi. p, lo. A 
fine, large specimen was found at Upsala that had grown on Tilia 
in the Botanical Garden. It differs from what appears to be the 
typical form of the plant in that the whole mass is much more 
elongated vertically, probably from its having emerged from a 
crack, and the pilei are smaller, thinner, and more numerous. 
Specimens reported in this country as growing on maple differ in 
some respects from the typical form on beech. 
Creolophus agaricoides (Swartz) 
Hydnum agaricoides Swartz, Prodr. 149. 1788. 
Hydnum discolor Fries, Sys. Myc. i ; 411. 1821. 
Swartz’s type of H. agaricoides could not be located in Europe 
nor could a specimen oi H. discolor Fr. be found in Fries’s her- 
barium at Upsala; the species did not appear to be known there. 
Strangest of all, nothing was found in Berkeley’s herbarium at 
Kew that in any way answered to his elaborate discussion with 
figures of this species in the Annals and Magazine of Natural 
History 10: 380. pi. lO. f. p. 
In 1909, Murrill and Harris discovered in the remarkable Cock- 
pit country of Jamaica a plant that appears to answer in every 
essential feature the descriptions of Swartz and of Berkeley. As 
this region is the type locality of Swartz’s species and as the speci- 
men, Murrill and Harris lopg, conforms so well to Swartz’s 
species and to no other, there seems to be the best of reasons for 
regarding it as representing the Swartzian species. It is the only 
specimen of the species that I know of and is preserved in the 
herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden. 
Creolophus pulcherrimus (Berk. & Curt.) 
Hydnum pulcherrimum Berkeley and Curtis, Hooker’s Jour. Bot. 
and Kew Garden Misc. i : 235. 1849. 
Hydnum friabile Fries, Nov. Symb. Myc. 106. 1855. 
The type of Hydnum pulcherrimum B. & C. is preserved in the 
Berkeley herbarium at Kew and is marked “Hydnum pulcher- 
rimum B. & C. No. 1648. Santee River.” The specimen is in
