Surface 
of teeth 
or subirpicoid with thick, rivid, distant teeth, 
paler color than context, minutely pubescent to the eye, under a 
lens pubescent with projecting hyphae, Spores not seen but 
doubtless hyaline. This plant was collected in 1900 by' H- 1T * 
Ridley and sent to me labeled Hexagona ochroleuca. I do not know 
who named it but I presume Massee, as Ridley sent his specimens to 
Kew, and Massee mis-named most of them. However, it does not occur 
in his next records (1901) and I am sure it is not at Kew now, ^ It 
differs from everything I ever saw in this line, m having friaole, 
brown context. The context is made up of uniform, tubular hyphae, 
about 6 mic. in diameter and has not the ligneous hyphae usually 
found in such plants. It has a similar chemical test to Polyporus 
rutilans. A drop of potash solution instantly turns it black, 
leaving an apparently permanent stain. I never saw anything at ail 
similar'to it. While the photograph resembles Daedalea Sprucei, 
the nature of the plant is entirely different. (Specimen 4920, 
Section 148 ). 
STEREUM TTJBERCULOSUM FROM MISS ANN HIBBARD, MASSACHUSETTS 
(Fig. 1690),- These are the first pileate specimens I have seen 
for usually it is resupinate and is found in the resupinate section 
in our books. The species is one that ''bleeds *' and seems to replace 
in the States Stereum rugosum of Europe. It is well characterized 
on a section with a layer of large, globose, vesicular organs 
that have no special name as far as I know in terminology, Stereum 
rugosum, recently named, is a very similar species but lacks these 
organs, 
EXIDIA ZELLERI FROM S. M. ZELLER, OREGON (Fig. 1691).- I 
wish every collector who finds a tremellaceous plant would pick it 
up abundantly and dry it. There have been so few collected that 
they are practically unknown except a few of the common species that 
grow in Europe and even the European species are imperfectly known. 
Plant gyrose or when not developed applanate with even sur¬ 
face, about a mm, thick. Color when soaked pale purplish grey, sub- 
translucent with faintly violaceous cast, drying dakk. Papillae 
few, scattered, globose. Basidia globose, hyaline, 12-14 mic. 
imbedded in a thin layer, close to the surface. Spores 6 X 20, 
hyaline, curved or rarely straight. Growing on Sambucus glaucus. 
No.1775. 
This is so close to Tulasne’s figure and account of Tremella- 
violacea which we only know from his work, that we hesitate to pro¬ 
pose it as different. The plant is much larger, spores are larger 
and it has papillae not on the European species. The feature of 
the plant is the basidia which are only imbedded in a thin, surface 
layer, rather unusual in these’plants. This has scattered papillae 
but we include it in Exidia on its spore characters. 
HYDNUM SCLERODONTIUM FROM T, F. CHIPP, SINGAPORE (Fig. 1692). 
As named, and certainly correctly. A peculiar species, but for me 
not a resupinate Kydnum as it appears at first view. The subiculum 
is thin, rigid, closely adnate, reddish brown and appears to be of 
a sclerotoid nature, as inferred from the name Berkeley gave it. 
The teeth are irregular, rigid, brown when moist, changing but little 
on drying and appears to me as separate plants growing on the 
subiculum rather than teeth of a resupinate Hydnum. In this view
