FUNGI FROM NORTHERN PALAWAN 
By H. and P. Sydow 
(Berlin, Germany) 
The fungi here recorded were collected by Mr. E. D. Merrill 
during the months of April and May, 1913, the dry season, in 
the northern part of Palawan Island, a region previously unex- 
plored botanically. Up to the present time but a single paper 
dealing with the fungi of this island has been published. This 
was written by ourselves and entitled “Fungi from the Island 
of Palawan.” 1 The fungi listed in this paper, however, were 
all gathered in the southern and central part of the island. 
As will be seen from an examination of the following enu- 
meration, the region is exceedingly rich in Pyrenomycetes, in- 
cluding Dothideaceae and Microthyriaceae, while it is poor in 
Uredineae, Ustilagineae, and Discomycetes. We wish to express 
our thanks to Messrs. G. Bresadola, H. Diedieke, and F. Theissen 
for valuable suggestions regarding critical species.
