Taal 
Poria obliqua Pers. 
On dead wood near Perth, 5th January, 1905, Mr. James 
Menzies. 
The spores of this species are white when deposited in the 
mass; they are round and hyaline under the microscope and 
measure x4-5H. This confirms Quelet’s measurement and 
-~olour of the spores as set out in Fl. Myc. p. 379, but is opposed 
‘0 W. G. Smith’s view of the spores on p. 06 of the present 
volume.
