promptly took steps to correct this unfortunate situation. I think 
X have seen somewhere where MoGinty also proposed a juggle for this 
same section hut I have forgotten the reference. 
NOTE 1001 - XYLOSTRCMA GIGANTEUM FROM N. L. T. NELSON, TEXAS.- 
We often get these thick white pads which are found mostly between, 
boards, old floors etc. They have been known for a hundred years and 
were named as above by old Persoon. While I know no record of their 
ever being fertile, it is generally understood they are mycelial pads 
of some fungus. No doubt they would develop fruit under proper lab¬ 
oratory conditions, but I do not know, that it has ever been tried, I 
do not question much but that some are conditions of the dry rot, 
Merulius lacrymans. In fact this specimen from Mr. Nelson has an area 
that has taken very much the color of Merulius lacrymans. Sometimes 
they get very large size, many feet in extent and this one is 
( unusual ) one half inch thick,

NOTE 1002 - STEREUM ALBOBADIUM FROM NELSON A. NUNEZ VALDEZ, 
ECUADOR.- It seems good to receive from such a distant locality 
(Ecuador) a species so common around Cincinnati. I get it from both 
Americas but never from Australia or the East. 
O'CONNOR, CHAS., ZANZIBAR: Trametes cingulatum - Daldinia 
concentrica - Auricularia polytricha - Polystictus cinerescens - 
Polyporus velutinosus - HYDNUM PULCHERR1MUM. 
NOTE 1003 - HYDNUM PULCHERRIMUM FROM C. A. O'CONNOR, 
ZANZIBAR.- A fine typical collection and exactly the same plant as 
grows commonly with us in the United States. We have already comment¬ 
ed on the fact in Letter 48, Note 113, that this species was supposed 
to be American only and not a single foreign specimen did we find in 
any museum in Europe, but it comes in to me not rarely from South 
Africa, 
ODELL, w. S., CANADA: ACETABULA SULCATA.
