LETTER No. 12. 



Paris, June, 1906. 



List of specimens received from Europe and foreign countries since the 

 publication of the last list, February, 1906. We beg to thank our correspond- 

 ents for the specimens received. Excepting from Europe and the United 

 States, the "puff balls" of the world are very little known, and I feel that 

 more has been learned from the specimens received by me in the last few 

 years than was previously known on the subject. It is a big world and many 

 puff balls occur, and we are gradually learning more and more about them. 

 If our friends who receive our publications will pick up and send such speci- 

 mens as they notice we shall have in the end a general knowledge of the 

 subject, and the species will be published and illustrated in a systematic 

 manner. 



The postal laws of France are very liberal regarding the exchange of 

 packages from other countries, and specimens can be sent by package post 

 at slight cost. That is one reason why I make my headquarters at Paris. 

 Respectfully, 



C. G. LLOYD,
