These scars merit a more careful and extensive comparison v^ith 

 living and fossil forms than I have been able to give them. Among 

 a few living fungi with which I have had the opportunity of making 

 comparison, Hyslertiographmm vulvatuin, kindly loaned me by 

 Professor Barber, may be mentioned as having conceptacles shaped 

 like the scars in question, with a central cleft that might be con- 

 sidered homologous with the depressed center of the scars. I have 

 not noticed anything in the living species that seems to represent 

 the depressed canal, "raised line," in Professor Fontaine's descrip- 

 tion.
