It attacks ar.d destroys lemon trees by tunneling through the pith 
and also more or less by barking the tree . Commonly known as "the 
Tlab headed lemon tree borer" and is scientifically known as Aemona 
hi it a. ( Syn. A. humilis ). This information regarding the beetle and 
its habits I have obtained from Mr. D, Miller, Government Entomologist.

poecilus, named by Berkeley from Ceylon, the ty^es of which 
are in the British Museum. It is surely close but from my notes and 
Berkeley's description this has a uniform brown surface with faint 
zonations. Both plants are best considered as forms of the poly¬ 
morphic Polystictus versicolor and yet these very distinct forms 
should have names. This plant is also very close, perhaps too close 
to Polystictus Macounii of our country. 
POLYPORUS PEAKENSIS FROM GEO. G. HEDGCOCK, COLORADO (Fig.1697 ) 
This is a novelty as far as our records in the States. Pileus 
orbicular, spathulate to a short stipe. Color of entire plant brown. 
Context thin, fragile. Pores minute, darker than the context. Setae 
few but large, 10 mic. at base and projecting 40 mic. Spores scanty 
if correctly seen, hyaline, 3X6. 
Dr. Hedgcock collected this on Pike's Peak, attached to dead 
twigs- of what was probably the Douglas fir. When received it was 
familiar to me and while 1 have misplaced the specimen, if I mistake 
not, I have it from South Africa misnamed by Kalchbrenner. On the 
classification adopted in our Stipitate Polyporoids it would fall 
in Section IT but its structural affinities are close to plants in 
Section 35 excepting as to stipe insertion. The plant was broken 
in transit, hence the figure is not very satisfactory. 
TRAMETES VAR I IF ORMIS FROM RALPH G, PALMER, MEW YORK (Fig. 
1898).- We considered this plant in detail on page 884 and it is 
well named variiformis. It is virtually the same as Trametes hetero— 
morpha (Cfr. Myc. Motes, page 848) but it has a reddish brown pileus 
surface and heteromorpha is white. This specimen from Mr. Palmer 
has a pale reddish surface and tends to connect the two "species 
There is no such thing as a species in nature, if intermediate forms 
are taken into consideration, Mor genus either for that matter. 
This "species" has been called Lenzites, Trametes and Polystictus, 
and has almost as much claim to one as to the other, excepting I 
never saw a true Lenzites form. 
MIDOTIS HEIMRICHERII FROM DR. CK. BSRMARD, JAVA (Figs, 1699 
and 1700 ).- This was named from Java as late as 1905 and it is the 
only species that is recorded from Java. A half dozen are reported 
from the American tropics but how they differ or how many are the 
same I have not looked up and do not know. This Javanese species is 
hard and rigid when dry. The pile! are confluent into a thick stem 
and they are strongly incurved when dry. The plant can readily be 
known from our figure which we show both dry and soaked. The color 
of the surface is dark, reddish brown, the flesh pinkish white but 
the flesh soaks up brown. It is said to be orange when fresh but as
