The three foolscap sheets transcribed here are among a number sent by Cooke now in the library of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. They have been associated by J. H. Willis with M. Cooke to M, 4 April 1885 (in this edition as 85-04-04b) but are dated here to 6 June 1885 on the basis that there is another item headed by Cooke 'Australian fungi since June 6, 1885', this also being consistent with the date '23/7/85' in M's annotations on each sheet. Because they were received together, they are treated as a single item. The sequence of the sheets is that arranged by Willis and is not necessarily the order in which they were assembled by Cooke.
