the type in Herb. Kew Bresadola has appended the 
synonymy, “ P. hermes B. = P. alhomarginatus Lév., 
1844 = P. Icermes B., 1875 = P. læticolor B., 1878 = 
p pyrrocreas Cke., 1855.” The last-named species, 
however, is not the same as P. hermes. 
457. Polyporus rubidus Berk. (Gardner 96). 
The type in Herb. Kew is Gardner 96. There are 
also numerous unnumbered Ceylon specimens from 
Thwaites. The species recorded by Cesati as P. buhidus 
is evidently an error for rubidus. 
458. Polyporus zonalis Berk. 
In Herb. Kew are Gardner 69 and part of Thwaites 
605. The former is marked “ type,” but this species 
was described by Berkeley in 1842, and the type should 
be in the British Museum. Thwaites 605, sub P. 
zonalis in Herb. Kew, contains two specimens of P. 
zonalis and two specimens, marked by Berkeley, P. 
cartilagineus. Berkeley and Broome’s reference to 
' Thwaites 608 in Jour. Linn. Soc., XIV., p. 49, is 
probably an error for 605. 
459. Polyporus cartilagineus B. & Br. (605 in part). 
Thwaites 605 was apparently a mixture of several 
species. In the type^of P. cartilagineus in Herb. Kew 
are three specimens, one of which is Polyporus durus 
Jungh., while the other two are the species described 
by Berkeley and Broome as P. cartilagineus. And, as 
noted above, in the cover P. zonalis at Kew there are 
two other specimens, agreeing with those already 
referred to, marked P. cartilaginéus by Berkeley. A 
note by Bresadola states that P. cartilagineus = P. 
durus Jungh., but this determination only applies to 
one example in the t5rpe, and it obviously does not 
apply to the species described by Berkeley and Broome. 
Part of Thwaites 605 was described by Berkeley and 
Broome as P. epilinteus. In the type of this in Herb. 
Kew there are three specimens, one of which is young 
P. hermes, while the other two are marked by Bresadola 
“ P. zonalis resupinatus.” In the same cover are part of
