is the third collection known. Originally from Malay, and Petch has 
found it in Ceylon, Several hundred Philippine polypores have come 
to me but this has never before been collected in the Philippines, 
Polypore species with sclerotia are rare. The best known one is 
Polyporus sacer from Africa which is practically the same plant as 
Polyporus rhinocerotis but has larger pores. However, they are so 
close that they are best considered perhaps as small and large pored 
forms of the same species. We gave on page 122, Stipitate Polyporoids 
an account of both forms and a figure (430) which could not be told 
from Mr. Reinking's plant. 
Since the above was written we have received two other 
collections made in the Philippines, Ramos 35916 and Martelino 35843. 
NOTE 883 - AURICULARIA POLYTRICHA FROM OTTO A. REINKING, 
PHILIPPINES: Purchased in the Chinese market at Canton, China, by 
Mr. Reinking. It is well known that the Chinese consume large quanti¬ 
ties of the ” Jew’s ear” and related species, and that it is an im¬ 
portant export from New Zealand and Pacific Islands to China. A1-. 
though very common in the States and Europe, the ''Jew’s ear” is not 
eaten with us and does not appeal to the European palate. 
NOTE 884 - POLYSTICTUS VERSATILIS FROM OTTO A. REINKING, 
PHILIPPINES: This is a frequent plant in the Philippines on the 
railway ties* Twenty-three separate collections were received from 
Mr* Reinking in the last package and twenty-one of them grew on 
railway ties. The plant is fairly uniform in the Philippines, a 
better Polystictus than Tranetes and in the Philippines always has 
large pores. 
NOTE 885 - POLYPORUS SUBSTYGIUS FROM OTTO A. REINKING, 
PHILIPPINES: This should be moved from Section 100 to Section 96 
with Polyporus gilvus. The minute pores are long and the plant is 
rigid and its true relations are in Polystictus, Section 120, with 
Polystictus tabacinus. It is a plant with the texture of a Poly¬ 
stictus and the thickness of a Polyporus. Polystictus spadiceus is 
an intermediate plant between Polystictus tabacinus and substygius. 
These are the first typical specimens of Polystictus substygius I 
have seen from the Philippines where tabacinus is common. 
NOTE 886 CYATHUS PLICATULUS FROM OTTO A. REINKING, PHILIP¬ 
PINES: We have heretofore used Cyathus Poeppigii as the name for 
this species but in the future we shall adopt the name originally 
applied to it by Poeppig. We do not do this on any ground of priori¬ 
ty, but because Cyathus Poeppigii is a heathenish kind of name that 
ought to be suppressed. 
NOTE 887 - POLYSTICTUS SETULOSUS FROM OTTO A. REINKING, 
PHILIPPINES: Named by Hennings as a Poria, it is really a Polystic¬ 
tus. The narrow pileus is developed in this collection. It has a 
smooth surface, reddish like that of Trametes Persoonii. Usually the 
plant is entirely resupinate, then of course it is a Poria. 
NOTE 888 - POLYPORUS RUGULOSUS FROM OTTO A. REINKING, PHIL¬ 
IPPINE ISLANDS: We adopt this name for a collection which is quite 
close to Polyporus zonalis and Polyporus rigidus but of much paler
