The utility of distributed sets has always been largely 
vitiated by the rnis-naming of the specimens, A copy of Baker*s re¬ 
cent "Fungi Malayana" has fallen into our hands. 
Auricular!a tenuis (402 ) is made up of two species, Auricula* 
ria polytricha and Auricularia auricula-Judae, both common, cosmopo¬ 
litan species. 
Zylaria tuberiformis (498) is Xyleria anisopleura (Zylaria 
Notes, page 24). The type of tubera formis from Australia may be the 
some plant but it is sessile and appears to have smaller, more pro¬ 
truding perithecia. (Cfr. Fig*1010,MM^©. Motes, page 678.) 
Polypcrus rhombiporus (480) Fig, 1515 is Polyporus Canthar- 
ellus (Letter 54, Mote 221). It is a rare species only known from 
Japan and the Philippines. 
Ptychogaster nodulosus (481). There is doubtful utility in 
distinguishing any Ptychogaster, for all are anomalies. 
Polystictus squamaef ormis (464) is Polystictus affinis repre¬ 
sented by hundreds of specimens so named in various museums. What 
good it does to send it out under another and unauthentic name (Cfr. 
Stip. Polyporoids, page 148) I do not know. 
Hypoxylon microsporum (459). If correctly named and des¬ 
cribed this is a misdetermination for the spores are 5 X 12 instead 
of 3 X 6-7. I believe if specimens of Hypoylon serpens were sub¬ 
stituted, no one would ever know the difference. 
Xylaria varians (499). Certainly has not the slightest sug¬ 
gestion of the figure that was published of this species from Java. 
The spores 4-5 X 8-10 are smaller also. 
Mummularia repandcides var. singaporensis (469). I do not 
know much about Mummularias, but see little difference between this 
and the common species we have in our Southern States called Mummu¬ 
laria punctulata by Ellis, which no doubt has other names in the 
museums of Europe. 
GLOMIUM STELLATUM, FROM REV. A. BOUTLOU, REST VIRGIMIA (Fig. 
1516 enlarged).- We had this plant from Rev. Boutlou last season but 
were not familiar with it and were unable to determine it from cur 
books. We learned it this season from Professor Fitzpatrick, when 
we found it on a collecting trip near Ithaca. We never worked with 
the small Pyrenomycetes, and all species of Glonium appear to be 
small except this. It covers the log for a wide extent and to the 
eye, or to my eye at least, appears simply as a black crust. Under 
the lens the surface is resolved into most beautifully arranged 
radiating perithecia as shown in our figure (1516) enlarged.
