Art. XLIV.—A List of Fungi recently detected and collected in the Bush District, County of Hawke's Bay; being a Further Contribution to the Indigenous Flora of New Zealand.
[Read before the Hawke's Bay Philosophical Institute, 28th November, 1892.]
In January last I despatched to the Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London, another lot of Fungi that I had gathered at various times during the preceding year in the forest country around Dannevirke. This parcel contained

about two hundred separate packets. The Director, Mr. Thiselton-Dyer, soon put them into the hands of Dr. Cooke, the eminent fungologist, for examination and determination, as he had also done on former occasions.* I have recently received from Kew the list of the same, as kindly named by Dr. Cooke; from which it appears that most of them were duplicates of those I had formerly transmitted, several, however, being better specimens, and also in different states of age and growth. These that are new to our New Zealand flora are here given; few of them I take to be really species novœ.
