But this differs entirely to our mind, being entirely merismatoid, 
while all previous collections of this section have "many pilei borne 
on a common,^central stem." As to color and shape it is like Stereum 
unicum but the latter does not belong to the section Hymenochaete, 
The large, dense setae exceeding 200 mic. are also larger than record¬ 
ed in this section.. 
EXIDIA CA\NDIDA FROM DR. JAMES R. WEIR, IDAHO (Fig. 1923 ).- 
Cfr. Myc. Notes p. 620, fig. 881. Although on comparing our previous 
figure wath the one we give now they appear different, we think sure¬ 
ly the same species. This collection is not "applanate" but would 
rather appear as lobed. The pure white color when fresh, curved, 
hyaline spores, 8 X 14, oblong, hyaline basidia, 16 X 20, absence of 
papillae, are exactly the same in both. This grew on alder. To the 
eye the same as Seismosarca albida but microscopically entirely dif¬ 
ferent . When old the plant becomes sordid. 
POLYPORUS SEPIA FROM T. F. CHIPP, SINGAPORE (Fig. 1924).- 
Entire plant (dried) sepia brown, 3-4 inches in diameter,. 7 mm. thick, 
dimidiate. Surface dull, glabrous, concolorous with raised zones. 
Context concolorous, very fragile, cnumbly. Pores large, daedaloid, 
(Fig. 192'6‘‘enlarged ) concolorous. Setae none. Spores not found, no 
doubt hyaline. The above notes are from the dried specimen which has 
no doubt changed color as collection notes are "upper surface white 
with grey zones". It grew on dead cocoanut tree. The plant suggests 
Polyporus anebus excepting its brittle, cnumbling flesh. 
TRAMETES VERSICOLOR FROM PROF. MARCIAL R. ESPINOSA, CHILE 
(Fig. 1927 ).- We so name a collection that impresses us as being 
only a thick and very unusual form of Polystictus versicolor. It is 
not necessary to describe it. The spores are the same, allantoid, 
about 1 1/2 X 5. Context pure white. 
SEISMOSARCA ALBA FROM W. C, MUENSCHER, NEW YORK (FIG. 1928 ).- 
Plants pure white and cerebrine (Fig, 1928) when young, foliaceous 
and sordid buff when old. Basidia globose, cruciate, imbedded, 
hyaline, 10-12 mic. in diameter. Spores sub-reniform, 6 X 12, hyaline. 
Gloeocystidia (Fig. 1929) (or colored ducts perhaps) cylindrical, 
obtuse, irregular in shape, imbedded near the surface, the ends 
slightly protruding. 
The genus Seismosarca,is the only one of the tremellaceous 
plants known that had gloeocystidia. The genus was named, misdescrib¬ 
ed and misfigured by Cooke from Australia, as explained in detail 
Myc. Notes p 629, but that our American plant is co-generic with the 
Australian is evident on comparison of the specimens. No commoner 
tremellaceous plant occurs around Cincinnati and it is of freqiuent 
record in our literature always under the name "Tremella albida" as 
Berkeley and others always mis-determined it. It is entirely dif¬ 
ferent from the European plant as explained in detail Letter 44, Note 
48 (as Exidiopsis alba.). Our previous spore record, piriform, 5 X 10 
is an error probably, based on immature spores. It is curious that 
the genus Seismosarca is only known from America and Australia and 
does not occur in Europe or other countries as far as known. We are 
indebted to Miss Wakefield for the drawing of the hymenial structure 
that we present (Fig. 1929 ).
