Fructificationes globosae, 2.0-2.5 cm. in diametro metientes, siccatae “cinnamon 
buff,” *tawny" (Ridgway) maculatae; funieuli non prominentes, pauci, concolori; 
peridium 375-425 u crassitudine, simplex, compactum, hyphis tenuibus dense con-

Habitat in silvis udosis. Civ. Noveboracensi. Aestate. 
Fructifications globose, 2.0-2.5 em. in diameter, drying cinna- 
mon-buff, spotted with tawny; fibrils not prominent, few, con- 
colorous; peridium 375-425 u thick, simplex, compact, of closely 
woven, slender hyphae; gleba warm buff or lighter; cavities 
globose or polyhedral, half filled; septa 150—180 џ thick, hyaline, 
of closely woven slender hyphae, not scissile; basidia hyaline, 
7-8 x 5-6 u, pyriform, on pedicels about 90» long, 3-spored; 
sterigmata conical, 2 u long; spores hyaline in preserved material, 
brown in dry material, spherical to ovoid, verrucose to reticulate, 
leaving a pore where detached from the sterigma, inclosed in a 
gelatinous sheath, 8-10 y. in diameter. 
amp woods. New York. Summer. 
The peridium of this species appears to be variable in thickness, 
new cavities seeming to form in the inner layer as the fructification 
increases in size, with the hyphae next the basidia-bearing hyphae 
gelatinizing and finally disappearing. A study of young material 
is very desirable for further interpreting this phenomenon.

EXTRA-LIMITAL SPECIES 
The following species of Leucogaster have not yet been noted 
from North America, but are included in order to assist 1n refer- 
ring material to them in case they should be found later, as in- 
dividual species in this family have wide ranges.
