Hypocreaceae. A few species each of Phallaceae, Lycoperda - 
ceae, Nidulariaceae, Sphaeriaceae, and Pezizaceae are reported. 
Other groups are represented in the list by only one or two 
species. Four Laboulbeniaceae have been reported from the 
island. Up to the present time only one species of Meliola had 
been recorded from Borneo. 
In examining the data in reference to the number of fungi 
reported from Borneo it is to be noted that most of the species 
belong to groups in which the plants are relatively large and 
conspicuous. Comparatively few representatives of the smaller 
leaf parasites appear in the list. In listing the fungi reported 
from Borneo, I have made no attempt to adjust the synonomy 
and so the actual number of distinct forms is probably consider- 
ably less than the figures as given above would indicate. The 
extent of our knowledge of Bornean fungi appears to be at 
least no greater than that possessed of Philippine fungi previous 
to 1906 when Ricker’s 8 compilation showed less than two hun- 
dred species to be known from the Archipelago. While no exact 
data is available at the present time, it is probable that the 
known Philippine fungi number between 2,000 and 2,500 species. 
In fact it seems likely that our knowledge of Bornean fungi 
at the present time is comparatively less than was our knowledge 
of the Philippine forms in 1906, since in 1906 a proportionately 
far larger number of inconspicuous forms of Philippine fungi 
were known than is the case regarding the smaller forms in 
Borneo. 
The present paper gives the results of a study of a small 
collection of fungi secured by the writer during a recent visit 
to British North Borneo. The fungi were collected incidental 
to other work and were mostly secured in the lowlands along 
the coast as no time was available for excursions into the forests 
of the interior. As is to be expected a large proportion of the 
specimens secured are referable to well known and widely dis- 
tributed species. Five apparently new species are described and 
a number previously unknown from Borneo are recorded.
