some to the eye ns Thomnomyces dendroidea of South America and proba¬ 
bly best held as a larger spored form, of it, . 
THAMNOMYCES DBKDROIDBA (Fig, 1605).- To the eye this is the 
sane as Tharanomyces eamerunensis and probably is the same but the 
spores (4-5 X 12) are given considerably smaller. It Crane from 
British Guiana. Cocke, who named it, gave a figure showing the 
perithecia imbedded in the walls of the fruiting bodies, but that is 
contrary to the structure of other species that we know. While we 
did not examine the type as to this point our photograph (Fig.1603) 
gives no indication of it and we have little doubt that its structure 
is the same as other species, and was shown $s different by Cooke 
simply from his habitual inaccuracy, 
THAMNOMYCES MACROSPORAMoeller's figure appears to the 
eye the same os Thaimomyces Chamissonic, but his spore record, 
6-7 X 40-50 is about four times too large for that species, 
THAMNOMYCES ANDINA (Fig. 1604 copied from Patouillard) 
This is a small species from South America, which in its node of 
bearing the fruit is, for me, a Tharanomyces, The spores are septate, 
hence was erected into a genus, Xylobotryum for patouillard. We 
do not know the plant but presume the figure tells all that can be 
told about it. 
THAMNOMYCES CHORDAL IS and THAMHOMYOES WOIFCWIS.-* We can 
add nothing to our account of the unbranched Tharanomyces given in 
large Pyrencmycetes, page 12, Figs, 351 and 652, 
Tharanomyces sirxilis, mss., from Brae il, sent to Raver el by 
Berkeley is Thannomyces chordalis, In this connection, we opt: in 
the Hew York Botanical Garden a specimen of Tharanomyces chordal is, 
correctly determined (as Xylaria, however) collected in the Philip¬ 
pines by J, B. Sture, probably years ago. It has not been collected 
by recent collectors in the Philippines and does not appear in 
recent Philippine lists, as far as I have noted this is the only 
collection excepting from the American tropics. 
POLYPORUS CYATHQIDES PROM 3UETT BEEPER, OHIO (Fig* 1605).- 
(Cfr. Hyn. Europnei, page 534).- This answers the description 
exactly but must be exceedingly rare as it is the first specimen 
we have seen either from Europe or the states. We fully agree with 
Frios that it is only a small form of Polyporus molnnopus, although 
of paler color and quite different at first view. In this connection 
Polyporus molnnopus is reaching mo quite frequently from the North¬ 
west, (Mrs. Whetstone, Dr, Stacker), It was called by Murrill 
Polyporus subradicatus which wns a misnomor, however, ns the plant 
has no suggestion of and little resemblance to Polyporus rrdiedtus* 
LASCHIA CHIPPII FROM T, F, CHIPP, STRAITS SETTLEMENTS 
(Fig. 1S06 enlarged).- Pilous small, 2-3 mm., dimidiate (it appears 
to me) pale, almost white (when soaked). Pores about 200 nic., 
shallow. Color glands .and cristatod cells none. Spores 4 X 6 , 
hyalino, slightly rough. 
Ko.ving recently considered tho species- of Las chi a (Myc. 
Notes No.57) and disposed of most of the proposed species, wo 
rather dislike adding to them but vro con not do otherwise as to this.
