LEEPER, BURTT, OHIO: Hydnum ochraceum - Polyporus trabeus - Poly- 
porus caesius - Polystictus versicolor - Hydnum glabrescens - Poly- 
porus galactinus - Trametes sepium - Daedalea amigua - Polyporus 
Spraguei - Polyporus alutaceus - Hypomyces viridis - SCLEROTIUM OF 
POLYPORUS TUBERASTER - Polyporus Ballouii - POLYPORUS FISSILIS - Poly- 
porue corruscans - Daedalea quercina - Polyporus trabeus. 
NOTE 994 - POLYPORUS FISSILIS FROM BURTT LEEPER, OHIO.- This 
plant is rare in both the United States and Europe ( Cfr. Apus Poly¬ 
porus page 319) and was collected twice last season by Mr. Leeper, 
once on maple and once on linn. Mr. Leeper records a very fragrant 
ordor in connection with the latter, not previously recorded in con¬ 
nection with the species. The species is white when fresh but is 
easily known from reddish, agglutinate pores when dried. But one 
other species has similar pore nature, viz: Polyporus croceus and 
that is a yellow plant, 
NOTE 995 - FAVOLUS LEEUWENII FROM DR. W. DOCTERS VAN LEEUWEN, 
VERLATEN EILAND NEAR KRAKATAU.- To the eye this is about the same as 
Favolus europaeus, color more alutaceous. But the microscope shows 
the hymenium covered with dark, branched spines as shown in Stipitate 
Polyporoids, Fig. 442. One author, it appears to us, refers all 
species with these spines ( which were first pointed out in our 
Stipitate Polyporoid pamphlet ) to Favolus megaloporus but we know 
four species now, in this section (175) which otherwise differ among 
themselves as much as other species of Favolus do. Most are very 
dark color and we did not suspect its relations until we examined it 
au microscope. The spores are abundant, 4 X 12, cylindrical, straight. 
LEWIS, JOHN E. A.,JAPAN: POLYPORUS VOLVATUS - Auricularia 
Auriculae Judae - POLYOZUS CONTORTUS - FOMES LATISTIPITATUS. 
NOTE 996 - POLYOZUS CONTORTUS FROM MR. JOHN E. A. LEWIS, 
JAPAN.- I believe I know.this from collections made at Upsala. There 
is no question as tp the species in my mind, but much as to the genus. 
Fries called it Thelephora, Karsten called it Polyozus and while I can 
not say as to the basidia I suspect it is a Tremellodendron. At 
least it has the habits of this genus. 
LOWATER, W. R., TOLEDO, OHIO: Radulum pallidum- See Note. 
NOTE 997 - RADULUM-PALLIDUM FROM W. R. LOWATER, OHIO.- As 
named by Berkeley. Mr. Lowater finds this in great abundance on under¬ 
brush that had been overrun by fire. The few times I have collected 
it around Cincinnati it has been on burnt logs and without question 
it has a preference for charred wood. Most of the specimens had a 
narrow, reflexed pileus. Excepting the habitat and pileate tendency 
I am satisfied it is practically the same as the European plant so 
common in Sweden, Radulum orbiculare, on alder and birch. As I com¬ 
pare them now I see no difference either to the eye or microscope. 
Radulum pallidum is for me the American representative of Radulum 
orbiculare. In this connection there is a joke on Professor Morgan. 
He misdetermined a Peniophora, very common on Carpinus, as being 
Radulum orbiculare. I know it well but have no name for it. Had he 
only made a mistake in determination it would have been what every one 
is liable to do.
