NOTE IOIO-POLYPORUS MELANOPORUS,- There is a smooth thin 
plant in the Philippines with glabrous pileus with raised zones and 
exactly the color of Pomes melanoporus. It may be the annual form of 
Pomes melanoporus but I doubt it. It is intermediate between Poly- 
porus vinosus and Fomes melanoporus, 
NOTE 1011 - FOMES LAMAENSIS FROM OTTO A. REINKING, PHILIPPINES. 
Fomes lamaensis ia usually known on sight by its hard, black ccrust. 
This specimen was old and we did not recognize it until we cut into it 
but then we knew it at once by its bright orange yellow,context con¬ 
trasting with the dark crust and pores. We note a feature, however, 
that in previous specimens is only faintly indicated. The same black 
tissue that forms the crust is interposed in the context giving it a 
marmolate appearance. Pomes lamaensis is the original name applied 
when the author stumbled over this common species that had been known 
in the museums of Europe for about eighty years. Graff writes it 
Fomes Lamao§nsis which I presume is a.correction of pidgin Latin, Is 
it permissible under the sacred rights of priority to correct the 
spelling of Latinized heathen names? 
NOTE 1012 - XYLARIA NXGRIPES FROM OTTO A. REINKING, PHILIPPINES 
Long specimen measuring six inches with clubs four or five inches 
long and 1/2 cm, thick. This is the exact plant that Berkeley called 
Xylaria Gardneri. 
NOTE 1013 - STEREUM FELLOI FROM OTTO A. REINKING, PHILIPP INES.- 
About a cm. tall. Color dark brown when soaked, black when dry. 
Spathulate, cuneate to the base. Basidia dark, slender, forming a 
palisade layer on one side darker than the context. Context of pale 
brown slender hyphae. Surface under the lens of minute, pubescent 
fasciculate brown hairs. Spores elliptical, smooth 4X5. This little 
species in shape and size is the same as Stereum unguliformis (Letter 
48, Fig. 589) but the brown context is not known in any similar species. 
It goes in Sect. 9 of Stipitate Stereums. The material is scanty and 
we do not give a figure but Fig. 569 might represent it. Collection 
9738, by A. Fello, Luzon, Philippines. 
NOTE 1014 - POLYPORUS AGARICEUS FROM 0. A. REINKING, 
PHILIPPINES.- This was named from Ceylon among Berkeley’s earliest 
work. Type is in the British Museum. To the eye the same as Poly- 
porus arcularius in everything and Berkeley afterwards so considered 
it as did I (Stipitate Polyporoids ) This specimen is exactly the same 
as Polyporus arcularius in appearance, is softer, sub-gelatinous and 
evidently different. I presume it is the same as Berkeley originally 
named. At any rate it is a good application of an old name. It has 
recently been recorded from the Philippines. The spores which are in 
abundance are allantoid, about 2X8 and not the same as recorded 
whether the plants are the same or not. I am glad to get a plant to go 
under Polyporus agariceus for it is an old puzzle. 
RICK, REV. JOHAN, BRAZIL.- WE continue the list sent through 
the liberality of Rev, Rick and we have many collections which we have 
not yet found time to study. A number of specimens are listed under 
names as determined by Rev. Rick in sections of fungi that we know 
nothing about.
