examined the flowers minutely, but I rather think they were abnormal, as the stamens were very irregular in length." I am not quite sure whether Mr M Nab's allusion to "thirty years ago" implies his belief that the climate of Scotland has in the interval altered for the worse, or that the imported New Zealand Kowhai has become deteriorated in strength.

XV. Enumeration of Polyporus. By M. C. COOKE,
M.A., LL.D.

(Read 2d July 1878.)

The number of species in the genus Polyporus having become so large, I found it necessary to construct for my own use an alphabetical catalogue, but upon the suggestion that it would also be useful to others, I made the addition of geographical distribution, and references to technical descriptions. With these accessions I submit the list to the Society, for the use of its members, reserving any observations which I may deem it desirable to make, on comparative distribution, for a future occasion, when the list may be consulted in verification. It is only necessary to observe that such synonyms as have been included are indicated by the use of a different type. No critical opinion has been ventured as to the value of the species included.
