This is the first collection of Micropus I have seen that is striate. 
Excepting the strongly striate surface ancl larger .pores it is close 
to the coin ion Polys xictus affirms* Based on Curran 19285 which was

fish scale. No type exists and I have at present no access to 
gure. It is very close to Polystictus affinis, differing in 
the concentric, raised zone which gives it a close resemblance to a 
fish scale. The color, shape, thichness and pores are all’the same 
as those of Polystictus affinis. 
XEROTUS PHILIPPENSIS, FROM E. D. MERRILL, PHILIPPINES (Pig. 
1550).- This is something unusual and I do not Know it. It is liable 
in the past to have been named either as a Panus, Lentinus or a 
Xerotus and until these three genera are thoroughly worked over 
and each species located it is not safe to name "new- species 1 '. In 
the meantime, as a convenience in our collection we have labeled it 
Xerotus Philippensis. We have worked Xerotus, not thoroughly,, however 
and the only species we have noted that is at all close is Xerotus 
afer, named by Fries' from South Africa and preserved at Upsala. The 
usual Xerotus species of the museums are about all the same thing, 
known in the Philippine lists as Xerotus nigricans, but have no re¬ 
semblance to this. 
CALOGERA CORTICALIS, FROM PROFESSOR 
M. 
BARRIER, PRANCE (Pig. 
1551).- This grows caespitose on branches and is evidently rare. 
I never saw it before. It has shorter clubs, is paler yellow and 
grows fasciculate. Otherwise it is like the common Calocera cornea. 
POLYPORUS NONGRAVIS, FROM PROFESSOR T. PETCHCEYLON (Fig. 
1552).- Largely resupinate with a reflexed, narrow pilens. Surface 
smooth ochraceous buff* Context pale ochraceous, soft, lighu weight, 
spongy. Pores bright ochraceous, small to medium, unequal in size. 
Cystidia none. Spores small, 3 mic«, globose, hyaline.
