NOTE 933 - "TRAMETES ODORATA, PRIES % MacOwan's distribution 
No. 1220 and Kalchbrenner’s determination is the common Femes appla— 
natus with about as much suggestion of Trametes odorata as it has to 
a piece of cheese. 
,r Trametes MacOwanii, Kalch., n. sp.” Mac Owan No.1066, is 
apparently a discolored specimen of the common Lenzites repanda. It 
has a short, lateral, thick stem and is discolored now but I do not 
question its identity. When it came to naming fungi Kalchbrenner was 
surely the limit. He had about as much idea of fungus classifica¬ 
tion as he had of bacteria,, but his "new species" are scraped up and 
compiled just the same as any others. South Africa and Australia 
got the benefit of the most of his ’’work" which makes it very bad 
for Australia and South Africa, 
NOTE 934 - FOMES OLIVACEUS OF LETTER 65, NOTE 565, is the 
same as Fomes cinereus, Letter 65, 534. I believe Murrill has a name 
for it also. 
NOTE 935 - TRAMETES STOWARDII: Cfr. Myc. Notes 48, 683, 
fig. 1022. We are convinced now this is only a synonym for Trametes 
lilacino-gilvus with more strongly developed fibrillose surface. 
NOTE 936 - XYLARIA PUMILA: In reading over Fries' original 
account of the plant (Linnaea, 1830) from Brazil, we believe it is 
the same as we figured {M. N, 54, 770, fig. 1157) as Xylaria stroma- 
tica. Fries mentions the"black, innate spots" on the bark from which 
the clubs arise and this is the only species that has a hypothallus 
as far as I know. Very often when one is familiar with a species 
he will" recognize a description that otherwise would have no meaning 
for him. In other words, one can work backward to better advantage 
than-he can forward, which is quite right as long as one does not 
use it as an excuse for name juggling, 
NOTE 937: Dr. Howard A. Kelly, 1418 Eutaw Place, Baltimore, 
Md. has secured a complete set of my sporadically issued pamphlets 
with the exception of Vol.2, no.19, Any one having a copy of this 
number to spare will do Dr. Kelly quite a favor by addressing him 
on the subject. 
NOTE 938 FAVOLUS" EUROPAEUS: Footprints of history. I 
copied an old note of Peck from an herbarium sheet which is very 
interesting as showing the trouble the old workers had. 
"This in Ravenel is Polyporus Bouclieanus. Dr. Curtis calls 
it Favolus europaeus. Worthington G. Smith says of it - "It looks 
like a Hexagona and is probably und.escribed. " I find no description 
that accords with it." 
NOTE 939: We formerly thought it was something terrible when 
we found an author naming two different plants the same name. As we 
have just noted we are guilty of it ourselves in a late issue of 
Mycological Notes, we may have to modify our views. Exidia Uva passa 
page 898, fig. 1577, is a duplicate (Cfr. p. 774, fig, 1166). The 
United States plant we would therefore change to Exidia Beardsleei.
