The Two-spored Morel, Mor-chel'-i.a bis'-po-ra. Not until now could 

 T adequaiely report in print in reference to some curious little Morels sent 

 from Wisconsin by ]\lr. A. F. Lane. They were collected the 16th of April, 

 under an oak tree in a piece of mixed woods near Milwaukee. They were 

 sent because of "their early appearance in the season," and because "they 

 have characteristics not common to any of the other well-known Morels." 

 A microscopic examination of the spores settled the identity of the species 

 at once. Onlv tzvo spores are contained in each ascus, whereas in the other 

 species there are eight spores. They are therefore the botanical species 

 known as Mor-chel'-la bis'-no-ra. The photographs made from the speci- 

 mens are reproduced in Fig. 122.
