Indies ( S. Jan ). ¥e supposed it belonged to the gilvus crowd and 
Murrill guessed it to be a synonym, but recently in looking up a 
possible name for one of the sections we considered Fries' descrip¬ 
tion of Polyporus endozonus and we are confident it covers the plant 
we named Polyporus euzonatus. It is much easier to interpret a 
description when one is familiar with the plant and it is better to 
give an old name a definite meaning than to maintain a new one. 
Polyporus endozonus does not belong to the Gilvus section ( 96 ) but 
to the section without setae (95), Cf r. Mvc. Notes, p. 89?; and Fig, 
1554. 
NOTE 832 - 1RPEX PALLIDUS FROM L. J. K. BRACE, BAHAMAS: 
Resupinate. Color cinnamon-buff. Teeth short, irregular. Subicu- 
lum thin, $etuloids hyaline, thick-walled, rather few, obtuse, 6-8 
mic. thick, projecting about 20 mic, Spores not found. As to a 
photograph it could not be told from one of the common Irpex cinna— 
momeus, but the plants have little relation. This has hyaline metu- 
loids and Irpex cinnamomeus has true colored setae. This is quite 
close to Irpex Iyoensis of Japan. 
BRAUN, E. L,, OHIO: Urnula craterium.- Ozonium auricomum. 
NOTE 833 - POLYPORUS TUCKAHOE: On a recent visit to our 
museum, Professor A. H, Reginald Buller gave me the sclerotium of 
the above named plant, recently named from Manitoba by Dr, Gussow, 
Plant Pathologist at Ottawa. On comparison with the sclerotium of 
Polyporus tuberaster of Italy it seems to be the same and I opine 
when well known will be found to be this species. The specific 
name was very badly chosen for it has nothing to do with Tuckahoe. 
The occurrence of Polyporus Tuberaster in Manitoba would for me be 
a far more interesting event than the publication of a "new species" 
of "Grifola" (sic ) which most mycologists would naturally suppose 
to be some kind of bug. Polyporus Tuberaster has never been record¬ 
ed with us and that it should grow in extreme northern stations (as 
far as known ) with us, and in Europe only in Italy is rather strange. 
If you add one collection sent me from Australia and one unconfirmed 
record from Japan you have the whole known history of this rare 
plant. But to illustrate the difficultj.es in presenting accounts of 
fungi, Dr. Gussow gave a good account and a good photograph of this 
plant and its sclerotium. I considered it closely and concluded 
that the only species it could possibly be was Polyporus Myllittae 
of Australia, But as soon as I saw the sclerotium I knew it had no 
suggestion of Polyporus Myllittae. And if a good photograph can not 
be correctly interpreted, what result can one expect from the fake 
drawings that were habitually put out by Kalchbrenrrer, Cooke and 
Massee, or the crude cuts of Hennings, Rehm and Britzelmayr? Another 
incident is its specific name. If it turns out to be a good "new 
species"', which I do not believe it will, the name Polyporus Tuckahoe 
will be a standing evidence of the fact that the author did not know 
anything at all about Tuckahoe, for if he had he would not have so 
named it. 
BURNHAM, STEWART H. , NEW YORK: A fine lot of specimens with 
a number of Clavarias in which I am especially interested. Clavaria 
sticta - Polyporus mollis - Clavaria ligula - CLAVARIA TRUNCATA -
