Since the publication of the above genus the writer has had 

 the opportunity of examining a part of the type of Sarcosoma 

 carolinianuni described by the late E. J. Durand, and finds that 

 it is identical with the above. Durand refers to the corky 

 consistency of the dried apothecia which is one of the character- 

 istics of the species.
