Ve determined this with doubt on receipt several years ago 
as Polystictus venulosus (named from Java) but a correct Knowledge of 
the Javanese species shows we were mistaken. It is a question wheth¬ 
er a Polystictus or a Polyporus, but we thinK it is better classed 
as the latter in Section 83* It is quite close to Polystictus gla- 
bratus, figured from Japan, Myc. Notes, page 686. 
TRAMETES VARIIFORMIS (Fig.1521 and 1582 resupinate).- On 
comparison with the Australian Trametes epitephra I believe that o 
American plant is the same species* In Australia, however, from 
two collections (all that are known) it is a diminutive little del

over a large extent and is so variable as to form - resupinate, re¬ 
flexed, pile ate, nodular, etc. that Peak named it as above* The

tori11 gives it as a synonym for 
Trametes serialis, a species of Europe with minute pores, hardly 
visible to the eye, but Mur rill was so busy getting up new names that 
he did not pay much attention to any other details. 
ISARIA PECKOLTII, PROM GUSTAVO PECKOLT, BRAZIL (Pig. 1523).- 
Isarias should not be named excepting as a convenience in the museum 
I hope Hr. Peckolt will find a Cordyeeps growing on thus 
can get the life history. Moeller found this same Isaria and 
a characteristic photograph but did not name it. He 
nost so we 
gave 
called it 
can 
add 
“Isaria auf einer Morpho-Puppe 1 '. It is very curious but we 
nothing to the photograph other than to give the spore, measure, 
about 2 1/2 X 4 mic. Tie hope every entomologist and mycologist will 
pick up every fungus they find growing on a cocoon or a larva or on 
an insect of any kind. By this means we hope in time to correllate 
the Isaria and Cordyeeps forms. 
POLYSTICTUS SUBREPLEXUS, PROM OTTO A REINKING, PHILIPPINES 
(Pig. 1524).- Tie have to give this a name as we are unable to place 
it. The specimen is resupinate with only indications of forming a 
reflexed pileus. The color is cervine but it appears to have been 
a white plant that discolored in drying. The pores are large and 
hiasesnt, probably from growing in a vertical position, spores 
are abundant, 4X6, hyaline, he have a strong impression that we 
have a photograph of this plant named as a Poria or Trametes or 
something by Cooke, but we are unable to find it. The plant sug¬ 
gests such species as Trametes versiformis but the texture is soft 
and better classed in Polystictus or Polyporus than Trametes. Tie 
would class it in Sect. 107 by the side of Polystictus biformis. 
Indications of a pileus are seen on our photograph.
