AN ENUMERATION OF THE FUNGI COLLECTED 
AT KENTANI IN THE CAPE PROVINCE BY 
MISS ALICE PEGLER, A.L.S., FROM 1911— 1914 
By. I. B. POLE EVANS, M.A., B.Sc, F.L.S., 
and AVERIL BOTTOMLEY, B.A. 
The fungi enumerated below were collected by Miss Alice Pegler, A.L.S., 
chiefly in the Kentani district of the Cape Province during the years 1911 — 
1914, and kindly forwarded by her from time to time for identification. 
A few of these fungi have been described in mycological journals not easily 
accessible to the general public, but hitherto no attempt has been made to 
enumerate the fungi of this district, which has now only become possible 
through Miss Pegler’s labours. 
The list may be regarded as a fairly representative one of the fungi sub- 
mitted to us, but naturally does not include a certain amount of material 
which was immature, or insufficient for identification purposes. It also in- 
cludes a few fungi which we have not examined. Miss Ethel M. Doidge has 
kindly undertaken the examination and description of the Meliolas included 
in the list.
