Additions and Corrections 335 



In 1930, the writer published a note on this species in Myco- 

 logia and in 1932 Dr. Erdman West published additional notes 

 on this interesting species in Mycologia (24: 464-466. pi. 14) 

 and sent the writer additional material from Florida, and about 

 the same time material was also received from Dr. Lee Bonar 

 of California. In response to these two papers Dr. F. Kallenbach 

 from Europe wrote as follows: 



Herrn Prof. Dr. Seaver, Redaktion "Mycologie," New York City/U. S. A., 

 Botanical Garden Bronx Park 



K/Be Darmstadt, den 20. Oktober 1932. 



Sehr geehrter Herr Professor! 



Mit grossem Interesse habe ich die Arbeit uber " Sarcosphaera funerata " 

 in Ihrer geschatzten Zeitsciirift gelesen. Die Bilder sehen genau aus wie die 

 von mir zum erstenmal im Binnensandgebiet Europas festgestellte Geopyxis 

 animophila. Sie kennen ja meine Veroffentlichung dariiber in der Zeitschrift 

 fur Pilzkunde, 1931, S.87/88 mit Tafel 11. Sehr dankbar ware ich Ihnen, 

 wenn Sie mir einmal frisches Material Ihres Pilzes zum V'ergleich zusenden 

 wollten. Evtl. kann ich Ihnen auch dieses Jahr noch Vergleichsmaterial von 

 den hiesigen Standorten in frischem Zustand iibermitteln. — Auf Wunsch 

 stehen Ihnen auch unser illustriertes Hausschivamm-Merkhlatt under unsere 

 6-farbige Hansscfnvam nitafel zur Verfiigung. 



Mit bestem Dank fiir Ihre liebenswiirdige Bemiihung und mit der vorziig- 

 lichsten Hochachtimg begriisst Sie 



Ihr sehr ergebener, 



Signed — F. K.\llenbach 



To this note the writer replied as follows: 



November 18, 1932. 

 Dr. F. Kallenbach 



Frankfurter Str. 57 



Darmstadt, Germany. 



Dear Dr. Kallenbach: 



Your card calling attention to the identity of Peziza funerata Cooke and 

 Peziza ammophila Dur. & Lev. has been received and it is exceedingly interesting. 

 It had never occurred to me that these two were identical. I have never 

 collected Peziza funerata myself but have written to Mr. West in Florida to 

 send you some fresh material from the type locality. In the meantime I 

 would be very much pleased to receive specimens from Europe for comparison. 

 Thanking >ou for >our cooperation, I am 



Yery sincerely yours. 



Signed — Fred J. Seaver 



On September 12, 1935, the writer examined specimens of 

 Peziza ammophila in the Persoon Collection at Leiden, Holland, 

 and they are apparently identical with the above. In those 

 specimens the mouths of the apothecia are strongly constricted, 

 indicating young specimens.
