from New Zealand and Tasmania. It has never been collected in Aus-
tralia, (cfr. Lye. Australia, etc., p. 6.)
Aseroe rubra (small specimen), (cfr. Syn. Phalloids, p. 46.)
Also three Clavarias, a genus I do not know as to species.
BASHAMBER, PROF. D. E., India:
Polyporus (Ganodermus) Curtisii. Polyporus (Ganodermus) lucidus.
Polyporus (Sp.). Stereum (Sp.). Lenzites subferruginosus.
Polyporus plorans. This species was originally described from
North Africa recently.
BECKER, DR. H., South Africa:
Fomes rimosus. Exactly same plant we have common on Acacia
trees in the United States.
BERNIN, A., France:
Daedalea quercina. Polystictus versicolor. Polyporus rufescens.
BETHEL, E., Colorado:
Lycoperdon pusillum. Polyporus alboluteus, showing how the species
bleaches in winter. Mitremyces Ravenelii (Hot Springs, Ark.).

We are particularly glad to get specimens of the
genera Sebacina and Eichleriella, as well as the critical collection of Porias.
Polyporus Soloniensis, as regarded by Bresadola. This species is one of
the "lost" species of France, at least I think there is no specimen in any
museum nor recent record in French works. It was named by Dubois, 100
years ago, who recorded it common around Sologne, France, and stated the
inhabitants call it "chavancella" and prepared amadou from it. It is a large
plant, this specimen being eight inches thick and about sixteen inches wide.
The substance which is white is quite light and spongy. The species was
only known to Fries from the description and was compiled in Hym.,
Europaei, next to Polyporus dryadeus with "context colored," where it does
not belong, if this is correctly referred. The spores are hyaline, piriform,
5x7. The plant is evidently very closely related to Polyporus sulphureus.
Trametes gibbosa. Trametes subsinuosa. Polyporus chioneus. Thelephora
spiculosa. Thelephora pallida. Thelephora intybacea (in sense of
Quelet, not Fries). Sebacina podlachica. Sebacina strigosa. Sebacina
calcea. Poria calcea. Poria fulviseda (An unpublished species of Rev.
Bresadola). Poria rhodella. Poria medulla-Panis. Poria sinuosa. Poria
gilvescens. Poria Friesiana. Poria obliqua. Poria purpurea.
Poria aurantiaca. This species I have collected in Sweden and refer it
to Poria aurantiaca on Rostk. figure t. 58, which is a good figure of it when
fresh. In drying it changes from orange to reddish brown, a marked change.
Persoon's figure of Poria cruenta is, I think, the same made from a dried
specimen now in his herbarium (cfr. Myc. Notes, p. 471). The plant has
been called (in error) Poria nitida, which is a quite different species according
to the type in Persoon's herbarium.
Poria megalapora. Epithela Galzini. Fomes ribis. Fomes pomaceus
