A comparison of the figure, however, shows it can not be that species- 
The clubs are of a different shape and stature and the heads taper 
and merge into the stem. In Cordyceps dipterigena they are perfect¬ 
ly globose and distinct from the stem.•

CORDYCEPS.. FORqUIGNONI FROM MISS CATH. COOL, HOLLAND (Fig. 1093') 
. — We reproduced a drawing sent by Miss Cool of a Cordyceps found 
on a fly in Holland in 1919. It is a single specimen and Cordyceps 
on flies are rare in Europe. The only previous record of which we 
know is. the above named by Q,uelet in the 16th Supplement. Though 
larger than Qpielet's figure, with the same general shape and host 
that Q,uelet records one would not be justified in holding that it 
was different. It does not agree in all features with Qp.elet’s 
drawing but he was not accurate in his work and drew Cordyceps . 
figures with collars such as no one but Q,uelet ever saw. Also it is 
a severe tax on an:/ one’s credulity to believe that any one ever had 
such (secondary) spores as Qfielet depicts. But making proper allow¬ 
ance for Q,uelet’s inaccuracy there is little doubt it is the same 
fungus and this is the second time ever collected in Europe, Miss 
Cool’s figure impresses me as being a correct presentation of a 
Cordyceps but we do not know whether the figure is natural size or 
enlarged. 
CORDYCEPS HILLII FROM H. H. HILL, NEW ZEALAND (Fig, 1994).- 
S'talk proceeding from near the head of larva, about an inch long, 
bearing at the apex two or three short, oval, black clubs. Our 
figure is the best description. We know no other species where the 
clubs are borne in this way excepting Cordyceps Dovei, Myc. Notes, 
p. 691, fig, 1034 and that is very different. In addition the black 
clubs and hard texture are unusual for a~ Cordyceps. A section shows 
perithecia filled with hyaline hyphae, or at least it looks to me 
like ligneous hyphae and net at all like asci which I have no doubt 
they are, probably immature, as I see no sign of the spores. All 
of which is very mysterious to me. 
POLYPORUS BURKILLII FROM T. F. CHIPP, SINGAPORE (Fig. 1995 ).- 
Plant mes.opodial, of a uniform drab color (when dry). Stipe an 
inch long 1 jz cm. in diameter, solid, Pileus surface glabrous and 
even. Pores very minute and shallow, decurrent on the stem. 
Qystidia none. Spores not formed. 
I can not recall any PoJyporus that suggests this. The color 
drab, or rather cinnamon drab of Ridgway is unusual. The texture 
fleshy but tough is not brittle as usual with such plants. We would 
enter it in 45b though it does not suggest any other in this section. 
The host is not stated and it appears to me to have grown in the 
ground. Based on E. M. Burkill’s 34 7 in the Botanical Garden at 
Singapore. 
POLYSTICTUS PAVONIUS FROM L. RODWAY, TASMANIA (Fig. 1996).- 
In the sense as published from Cuba, Myc. Notes page 920, Fig. 1647. 
These, the second collections we have seen, are darker, thinner 
specimens than the Cuban plant. The main feature, to us, is the re¬ 
duced attachment, glabrous, zonate surface and the general reminder 
of Polystictus versicolor, excepting these features, are the same.
