This specimen from Prof. Yoshinaga has the pore mouths the same 
cinnamon color as the pore context. The spores are not 'over 8 mic. and 
are also smaller than the usual Polyp or us rugosus which generally runs 
10-12 mic. “While it is close to fo.iypprus rugosus, it is essentially 
different in my opinion. The section of Amaurodermus is the most 
marked and the most rare section of Polyporus. Rev. Torrend has re¬ 
cent ly published a resume of the species in n J3roteriat which is most 
convenient to consult as to the species added since our Suipitate 
Polyporoids wan issued. We considered there all the specimens to be 
found in the museums, but since the number of species has doubled. 
This, I believe, is the second collection of an Amaurodermus ever made 
in Japan.

NOTE 1043 - TREMELLA FOLIACEA PROM S. M. ZELLER, OREGON.- 
In the sense of our article on page 7S3. The distinction we make 
between Tremella frondosa and Tremella.,foliacea, if a distinction 
exists is only one of color, that the letter is darker than the former. 
We tried to explain this in detail on page 794. There is no difference 
excepting imaginary in the microscopic features that I can see. The 
spores and basidia vary in size,, On the glass I have the spores are 
hyaline, globose, most of them G mic. some over 12 mic. Basidia 
globose, pale colored, mostly about 16 mic. The gelatinous hyphae are 
brown and it has a feature that I have not seen noted and which does 
not occur in the yellow TremellaThere is a thin, dark brown cut- 
icular membrane which breaks up when mashed under the cover glass into 
irregular, dark fragments. A similar thing is found in the brown 
Exidias, but quite dlffernet’- from, the papillae found on some species of 
Exidia. We do not know if Tremella., foXiacea and Tremella. frondosa*. are 
different ages of the same species (as Brefeld seems to hold) or 
different species. We doubt if the names we use are historically 
accurate, particularly frondosa, for in the original sense we think it 
only a large form of (Tremella foliar-.ea, Tremella ferruginea as named 
on the old English Botany figure could not be questioned but we do 
not like to adopt unfamiliar names. The following citations will give 
a. clear idea of our view of each specj.es. 
Tremella foliacea, Sense of Persoon, Berkeley and Fries, seems 
to include both colors. Bulliard, Plate 406, fig. A, B and D (? as to 
C). Bulliard, Plate 499 fig. T v l T C? as to V and not X, Y). Atkinson 
page 205 fig. 206 and Coker page 141 Plate 39 both as frondosa. Also 
for me Tremella aspera-of Coker. Tremella- undulata, Moeller, used as 
a juggle. Bresadola.t.209 on acerous wood. (Not at all in the sense 
of Brefeld. ) 
Tremella frondosa (in the sense in which I use it ) is Bulliard
