ROTE 823 - POLYSTICTUS REPA LETTS IS PROM DR. CH. 3ERRARD, JAVA: 
Yv r e utilize this name which, has never been recognized in the seventy 
years since it was proposed and never will be either from the scanty 
or the "type" which is old and effete and should not have been named. 
Pileus thin, pale, glabrous or minutely pubescent near the base. 
Growing imbricate. Context thin, white. Pores small, soft. Cystidia 
none. Spores not found. The plant suggests (faintly) Polystictus 
zonatus but the much paler color and glabrous pileus is hardly more 
than a suggestion. 
ROTE 824 - TRAMETES CRERULATA PROM DR. CH. BERRAKD, JAVA: 
I have not received this before. It is of the same general nature 
as Trametes lactinea which is common in the East but this has large 
pores. The surface is dull but hardly "tomentose" as described nor 
is the photograph of the type "tomentose". 
BESSEY, PROFESSOR E. A,, MICHIGAN: Daldinia concentrica - 
Daldinia vernicosa - Xylaria filiformis - Xylaria corniformis - 
LYCOPERDOR PIRIFORME. 
ROTE 825 - LYCOPERDOR PIRIFORME: Professor Bessey calls my 
attention to the fact that the spores are distinctly rough and that 
they pass in my writings as smooth. As a usual thing the spores of 
this species are smooth, under ordinary magnification, and the 
demonstration that there are cases where they are distinctly'rough 
does not invalidate the rule. Smoothness and roughness of spores are 
questions of degree in Lycoperdons and I doubt if there is any 
Lycoperdon spore that would not appear rough under high enough magni¬ 
fication. But it is not practicable to make species on this varia¬ 
tion in degree of roughness. Lycoperdon piriforme is a species that 
may be recognized at sight when learned. There is no one character 
that is absolutely fixed but the ensemble is unmistakable, just as 
is the case with every other good species. A similar case is 
Lycoperdon pseudopusillum, proposed on specimens of Lycoperdon pusil- 
lum with slightly rough spores. I have always contended it was of 
no value whatever as a "species 1 ', admitting that the difference in 
spore roughness that Dr. Hollos pointed out is true.
