TRAMKXKS LAnTEA' (fig. 17S9 and Fig. 1800, pores enlarged ).- 
In connection with Trarnetes transmutans from Malay we present a 
photograph of Trarnetes lactea, which is common in American tropics 
and which for me is a trametoia form of Lenzites repanda. These 
three plants agree in every character excepting hymenium, and while 
tne hymenii are so different that they hardly suggest the same species 
species" are only individual opinions. 
There is a related species, "Daeaalea flavida", common in 
the East that seems never to produce two individual specimens cf 
exactly the same hymenial form, and while 23 different "species" have 
been discovered in six different genera, I can see in the whole lot 
but one species. 
POLYPORUS AMGOLEMSIS FROM JOHN GOSSWEILER (Fig. 1801).- 
Pileus 8-4 inches by 6-8 mm. thick, white, suborbicular, to a re¬ 
duced base. Surface smooth, dull with no crust. Context white, 3-4 
mm. thick, very light weight and fragile. Pores medium, somewhat ir¬ 
regular with tissue white or very slightly darker. Cystidia none 
but irregular crystals on the hymenium. Spores about 2 l/2 X 3 l/s. 
The light weight of this species reminds one in texture and appearance 
of that■of Polyporus sulphureus but it has no coloration. We would 
enter it in Section 87 though its affinities, excepting in manner of 
growth, are close to Polyporus sulphurous. As it is attached by a 
reduced base it might be sought in Section 12. A name indicating 
light weight would be best for it but they all seem to be in use. 
POLYSTICTUS RARUS (Fig. 1802 ).- I found in the Clinton her¬ 
barium a Polystictus unnamed which came from Ravenel which I had not 
seen before, and certainly is entitled to be named as rare. I did 
not see the plant in Ravenel’s own herbarium. 
Entire slant unicolorous, approximates buckthorn brown of 
Ridgway. Pileus orbicular, thin, to a reduced base. Surface gla¬ 
brous with raised zones. Pores medium, concolorous, shallow.. 
The relatively large pores suggest Polystictus pinsitus, the 
color, Polystictus rigens. We would enter it in Section 22b but it 
does not fall naturally into any section that we proposed. 
POLYPORUS THEOBROMAE FROM T. F. CHIPP, SINGAPORE (Fig. 1803). 
We do not know to be sure but we believe this to be the mature Poly¬ 
porus development of Echinodia Theobromae, considered or_ page 934, 
Fig. 1704. 'If so. the stilboid hairs have been transformed into 
ordinary, tawny, velutinate hairs. But the pores are the same large, 
flaccid pores of Polystictus aculeifer, the same in every respect to 
the eye and under the microscope. This is not a coincidence. We 
can not claim they are the same plant but there is some connection 
between this plant, Echinodia Theobromae and Polystictus aculeifer 
that we do not understand. We hope Mr. Chipp will make observations 
on the subject and clear up the mystery. We present (Fig, 1803 ) an 
enlargement of Polyporus Theobromae and (Fig. 1804) an enlargement of
