PUFF BALL LETTER NO. 5. 



Paris, May, 1905. 



When we went to Paris in the spring of 1903 we requested our corre- 

 spondents to send in Gastromycetes. So many have kindly complied with 

 our request that we feel that we now have a very fair knowledge of the 

 species that occur in Europe. The results are published (partially) in 

 Mycological Notes No. 19, "The Lycoperdons of Europe." This paper will 

 be followed by others until the field is covered. At the time we received 

 the specimens, our opinion of the genus Lycoperdon was only in a formative 

 stage. This list is our mature decision in regard to each specimen. Plants 

 not belonging to the section Lycoperdaceae are not acknowledged in this 

 paper. 



We beg to advise our friends and correspondents that we shall spend 

 the present summer in Europe. The most of the season we shall be in the 

 woods of Sweden, but we shall return to Paris (107 Boulevard St. Michel) 

 at the close of the collecting season, when we shall be glad to receive such 

 specimens as our friends may send us. We shall take up a special study 

 of Nidulariaceas and Hymenogasters (and perhaps the Tuberaceae) and shall 

 be glad to receive specimens of these families particularly, but any Gastro- 

 mycetes will be very acceptable. Our publications are sent regularly to 

 those who favor us with specimens. C. G. LLOYD, 



107 Boulevard St. Michel, 



Paris, France.
