— Polyporus zeylanicus Berk. 
The type in Herb. British Museum is the same as 
specimens distributed from the Philippines as Poly- 
stictus 'pergammus (Berk.) Bres., and from Annam as 
Polystictus pergamenus Fr. Presumably these records 
are based on the identity of the specimens con- 
cerned, with Hexagonia pergamenea Berk. P. zeylanicus 
requires comparison with the latter, a point which I 
regret I overlooked when in England. 
— Polyporus nigrocinctus Berk. 
The specimens in Herb. British Museum are labelled 
‘‘ Boletus fragilis FI. Zeyl,” and marked by Berkeley 
P. nigrocinctus var. It seems probable that they are 
Tr. occidentalis . 
— Polyporus dubius Berk. 
The type is in Herb. British Museum ; it somewhat 
resembles P. Gaudicliaudii, but is thicker, and has 
different pores. 
— Polyporus sericellus Lév. 
Described from Ceylon specimens by Lé veillé in Ann. 
Sci.Nat.,Ser.3, V. (1846), pp. 111-167. Lloyd (Synop- 
sis of the section Apus of the Genus Polyporus) states 
that no type is known. 
Polyporus phæus Lév. 
Described from Ceylon specimens by Lé veillé (loc. 
cit.). Lloyd states (Synopsis of the Genus Fomes) that 
Polyporus phæus Berk, is Fomes melanoporus. 
— Polyporus siennæcolor Cooke. 
Polyporus siennæcolor was part of Thwaites 605. It 
was labelled P. siennicolor by Berkeley on the herbarium 
specimen, but the name was not published by him. 
Cooke, in his description in Grevillea, gives the Berke- 
leyan number *2379, but this is a number which Cooke 
inserted in the MSS. catalogue of Berkeley’s herbarium. 
The piece of paper to which the specimen is gummed 
fits into one of the sheets, Thwaites 605, and thereby 
affords confirmation of Cooke’s statement that it* was 
part of that Thwaites’ number. There are two other
