J 1T0TE 1007 - HYDNUM OCHRACEUM FROM S. RAPP, FLORIDA.- An 
unusual form of this common and variable plant. The teeth are paler 
and the texture softer than usual. Generally Hydnum ochraceum has a 
narrow reflexed pileus effused behind or not rarely one finds Hydnum 
ochraceum entirely resupinate. Sometimes, however, it is more frankly 
pileate, reduced to a small base. Then it is called Hydnum flabelli- 
-l orme but it is the same thing. A recent elaborate paper has been 
published by Coker on the Hydnums of North Carolina. Unless one is 
familiar with the work of the name jugglers Hydnum ochraceum would 
hardly be identified in this paper as., it passes- under the aliaa of 
Steccherinum Rhois, evidently supposed by Mr. Coker not to be Hydnum 
ochraceum which he does not mention. If Mr. Coker could collect all 
the Hydnum ochraceum that occurs in North Carolina in one single 
season he could fill a barn loft with it. But such work is. "science" 
with name jugglers. If Mr. Coker were writing a treatise on moonshine 
whiskey and made as. simple statements on this subject as he has made 
in the guise of "science" on Hydnum ochraceum, his mountaineer neigh¬ 
bors engaged in this industry would probably hold an indignation meet¬ 
ing in protest. 
REINKING, DR. OTTO A., PHILIPPINES.- Through the liberality 
of Dr. Reinking probably more collections of Philippine fungi have 
been sent to us than Berkeley saw of the foreign specimens in these 
groups during the course of his long and "new-species" eventful life. 
About twenty packages have been received, each from a hundred to a 
hundred and fifty collections. We have not counted them but we 
estimate them at from 2500 to 3000 collections. If we made new species 
on the basis of separate collections as has been the custom in the days 
of Berkeley, Leveille, Montagne, Fries, etc. as to foreign plants, 
there would be at least five hundred new species in this lot. Only 
a part have been worked over and classified. The larger part, which 
embraces all that we have laid aside as being of special rarity or 
novelty, we have not found time as yet to work in detail. But notwith¬ 
standing that the fungi of the Philippinea are better known than of any 
other foreign country due to the abundance of recent collections, Dr. 
Reinking sends some very novel and unusual species. They will be 
published as fast aswe can study them. The following is a.list of the 
different species represented but many collections of each were usually 
sent,
