Our photograph will tell the remainder of the story. (Fig, 1886 ) is 
natural size; Fig. 1888 the exterior; Fig. 1889 a section;. Fig. 1887 
a very young specimen. All are enlarged sixfold excepting the first. 
From the way the spores are borne I do not doubt that it belongs to 
that great unknown (to me) world called Hyphonrycetes, though I do not 
think it has been named.. If any one knows it I should be glad if they 
would advise me and it certainly can be recognized from our figures. 
POLYPORUS FLABELLARIS FROM E. D. MERRILL, PHILIPPINES ( Fig. 
1890).- Pileus flabelliform, about four inches in diameter, 4-6 mm, 
thick, rigid, with short, thick, lateral stipe, 1 X 3/4 inches. 
Surface glabrous, dark grey, zoned. Context pale isabelline. Pores 
minute, reddish brown tissue and concolorous mouths. Spores globose, 
hyaline, T mic. 
A single specimen that we would enter in Section 16 although 
it is more rigid than any other in this section. The surface is that 
of Polystictus murinus. The context and pore colors and spores are 
those of Polyporus zonalis to which its relations are close although 
surface color and shape are so different. 
ENTONAEMA MESENTERICA FROM REV. J. RICK, BRAZIL (Fig. 1891).- 
We determined this as Entonaema liquescens when received but have 
since received from Professor Thaxter, collected in Trinidad, what 
corresponds to Moeller’s figure of Entonaema liquescens. We believe 
Moeller must have transposed the names for his two species for 
"mesenterica” does not apply to this plant at all and does apply to 
the plant Moeller illustrated as liquescens. 
When soaked Entonaema mesenterica is globose, hollow, about an 
inch in diameter and the flesh 1 jz cm, thick, is gelatinous. The 
perithecia are contiguous under the yellow cuticle. Spores 4X8 pale 
colored, one (or rarely two) guttulate. We have received before from 
the Philippines, Alabama and Africa, what appears to be the same plant 
when dried, but on soaking it the interior appears to be solid, fleshy 
and not hollow, gelatinous. We considered it on page 910 as Glaziella 
splendens. While we can not so assert our impression.now is that 
Glaziella splendens is entirely different from Entonaema mesenterica, 
although dried they appear to be the same. We presume the subject 
will clear up in time. 
POLYSTICTUS SECTION 113 
POLYSTICTUS CRISTATUS FROM T. F. CHIPP, SINGAPORE.- This is 
the first time we have received the true species as named by Cooke. 
The type came 1 from Australia and has small pores and very peculiar 
strigose surface of branched hairs. If we were writing a systematic 
account of Polystictus we would make a section (No. 113) embracing the 
species with strigose, branched hairs, and it would include five 
species as follows: 
POLYSTICTUS CRISTATUS (Fig. 1892),- A thin species with small 
pores. Rare and but two collections known, the type from Australia 
and this collection from Malay. The name Polystictus cristatus has 
been confused at Paris and in Philippine determinations with the next 
species, which has large pores.
