ALEURODISCUS WE1HII (Pig. 1685 ).- Forming a thin, white, 
effused" layer on wood of Thuja, cracking into little areas when 
old. Teste Burt, spores are 9-fl)0£ X 10-12 and paraphyses are 
"cockroach" shape. 
This is a western species, known only from Dr. Weir's 
collections. To the eye it is a Corticium. 
Section 5. Fleshy cup shape, resembling a Peziza 
ALBURODISCUS VITELLINUS (Fig. 1686).- This is an anomal'ous 
specj.es, if it is possible to have an anomalous species in such an 
incongruous genus. It resembles a Peziza in flesh, form and habits 
but it has large basidia and spores, which in the final analysis 
are the only character common to the genus. It is only known from 
Chile and we gave on p.?36 its history in connection with a speci¬ 
men from M. R. Espinosa. 
Section 6. Soft, gelatinous with tremellaceous, typical 
structure, When dry hard and horny.. 
ALEURODISCUS CAPENSIS (Fig. 1687),- Fruiting body pale 
with a slightly ochraceous tint, adnate with appressed margin, or¬ 
bicular or elongated. Hymenium a well defined layer distinct from 
the subgelatinous context. When soaked the context is white and 
composed of gelatinous tissue. Spores with a faint color, sub- 
globose, 16-18 mic,, smooth. Cystidia few, fuseid, hyaline, with 
thin, smooth walls, projecting 40 mic. Paraphyses slender, branched 
flexuose, hyaline, 
This reaches me from P, van der Bijl", South Africa (No.833 ). 
The general appearance reminds one of Aleurodiscus Grantii. Im¬ 
bedded in the hymenium and very abundant in the layer of the con¬ 
text next to the host are perfectly globose, (20 mic. ) hyaline, 
thick walled bodies without any attachment as far as I can see 
and the nature of which I can not understand. They do not appear 
to be spores. If this proves to be the same as Aleurodiscus 
cornea I shall not be much surprised, although on comparison the 
plants do not seem to be the same and I am unable to make out 
crested cystidia on this specimen. 
ALEURODISCUS CORNEUS (Fig.1688 ).- (Compare Myc. Notes p.656 
and figures 935, 936, 937. ) A gelatinous plant, soft, white when 
soaked. Very similar to the preceding species but appears to me to 
differ as stated. Specimen from Miss A. V. Duthie, South Africa. 
Detailed description and figures given in 1. c. where it appears 
as Cystidia cornea. 
Since this article has been written we have received co¬ 
type specimens through the kindness of Professor Burt of Aleuro¬ 
discus botryosus and Aleurodiscus cremeus, thus completing our 
collection of American known species. 
DAEDALEA RIDLEY1 FROM T. F. CHIPP, SINGAPORE (Fig. 16*9).- 
Dimidiate, four to six inches in diameter, 1-2 cm. thick. Color 
of surface and context light brown ( ochraceous-tawny of Ridgway ). 
Surface dull, soft to touch. Context friable. Hymenium daedalcid
