This fungus is peculiarly associated with thebanana, but has been recorded on the cane also inCuba. Schizophyllum alnenm.^^—-Pileus fan-shaped, verythin, white and grey, downy, often lobed, 2-5 cm. broad,gills pale brown with a purple tinge, split portions and edgeof gills revolute ; spores dingy 4-6 X 2-3 microns. This fungus has been reported from Pernambuco,British Guiana, and the West Indies generally, but itsparasitism on the cane is not Nat Size Fig. 62 Himantia stellifera^^ (Johnston).—Mycelium cob-webby or somewhat dendritic, white, ascending the lowerleaf sheaths and within the roots ; hyphae with clamp con-nections, and bearing on short side-branches stellate crystals of calcium oxalate. Nofruiting bodies known. This fungus was first discussed by Cobb^^ in Hawaii as the stellatecrystal fungus, and was later identified as above by Johnston as occurringon cane and pasture grasses in Porto Rico. Its habit of attack is similarto that of the Marasmius. Odontia saccharicola^ (Burt).^Fructification resupinate, effused, adnate, verythin, pulverulent, not cracked, whitish, drying cartridge-buff, the margin narrow andthinning out; granules minute but distinct, about 6-g to a millimetre ; in structure30-50 microns thick, with the granules extending 45-60 microns moie, composed ofloosely an
