Cryptogamic Herbarium 
Mr. Corner continued his work on the Polyporaceae, and has now examined 
in detail about 150 species. He took material of these to Kew for comparison 
with type material. Mr. Corner also continued his observations on the 
growth rate of Polypores, and general systematic work on other Basidiomycetes 
so far as time allowed. 
Several interesting species of Fomes were received for identification from 
the Forestry Department, Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States, 
Mr. Wilkinson, Assistant Conservator of Forests, Kedah, sent some excellent 
specimens of Polyporus rhinocerotis . 
The loan from the Department of Agriculture, Peradeniya, Ceylon, of type 
material and illustrations of Hygrophorus is gratefully acknowledged. 
About 200 duplicate specimens from the fungus herbarium of 0. A. 
Reinking were received from the United States Department of Agriculture. 
The Director continued his work on ferns, being chiefly occupied with 
Kinabalu collections, and with Peninsula tree ferns. A paper on Kinabalu 
ferns, written in collaboration with Dr. Carl Christensen of Copenhagen,

the cultivated species and varieties of Maidenhair ferns (Adiantum) and 
prepared two papers on them for publication in the M. A. H. A. magazine.
