This is the third species of Dacryomyces that simulates a Tremella

IRPSX PARADOXUS PROM MISS ANN HIBBARD, MASSACHUSETTS (Pig. 
1660).- This is not a species but a “paradox” or rather a distortion 
of Irpex lacteus, due probably to abnormal position of growth. The 
name v/as based on Schrader's old figure, published in 1794, which 
quite well represents the figure on the right a Most fungi are rather 
particular about their position of growth. If a plant starts +■

Isaria flabelliformis and sends a mature specimen and those partially 
developed (Fig. 1661). The Xylaria is Xylaria allontoidea. Path:

POLYPORUS NIGROLUCIDUS FROM P. VAN DER BIJL, SOUTH AFRICA 
(Fig. 1664).- The European form of Polyporus lucidus was not even 
suggested to us when we first saw this specimen tut when we came 
to “analyse” it we concluded that it is only a "species form”. Plant 
is mesopodial with the surface shiny and jet black. Trama, pores 
and pore mouths isabelline. The interior of the stem is so 
that it could be called pithy. Spores 6 X 8 of the usual
