eads, but in the ripe gleba broken up into little fragments, deeply colored, 

 three to eight mic. thick. (This is the type of capillitium one finds in Cal- 

 vatia caelata, very different from the true typical capillitium of the genus Calvatia.) 

 Spores globose, 4 mic. in diameter, almost smooth but very slightly rough. Plant 

 from two to three inches in diameter, growing in woods earth in the Giant Forest 

 Tulare County, California. 



Professor T. S. Brandegee, Mexico: Lycoperdon pseudogemmatum, Sclero- 

 derma (cfr. Cepa), Pyrenomycetes (Genus unknown to me). Daldinea concentrica. 



Dr. J. F. Brenckle, North Dakota: Polystictus conchifer, Lycoperdon Wrightii, 

 Lycoperdon cepaeforme, Geaster limbatus (typical). Myxomyces. 



Dr. J. F. Brenckle, Wisconsin: Lycoperdon piriforme (young), Polystictus 

 hirsutus, Lycogala Epindendruin, Polyporus (unknown to me), Scleroderma Cepa, 

 Daedalea unicolor, Lycoperdon piriforme, Lycoperdon gemrnatum. 



Chas. O. Chambers, Oregon: Geaster giganteus, Bovista Pila, Bovista plumbea, 

 Lycoperdon subpratense. (These specimens do have colored capillitium! ! in which 

 character alone the American plant seems to differ from the European Lycoperdon 

 pratense.) 



Simon Davis, Massachusetts: Lenzites betulina, Polyporus brumalis, Poly- 

 porus (sp.), Polpstictus hirsutus, Corticium (sp.), Hydnum ochraceum (subresupin- 

 ate) Polyporus dichrous, Calvatia elata, Schizophyllum commune, Polyporus 

 brumalis, Hydnum (resupinate). 



Miss Alice Eastwood, California: Bovista Pila (on the road to Yosemite,), 

 Mycenastrum (?), species (?) Probably new. Closest relation is to Mycenastrum 

 fragilis as the specimen exists at Paris. Has same spores and capillitium, but, 

 ike that specimen, the capillitium is devoid of the peculiar spines characteristic 

 of the type species of Mycenastrum Corium. Miss Eastwood found the specimen at 

 Tioga Lake, Yosemite National Park. 



E. P. Ely, Minnesota: Polyporus Schweinitzii (a rather rare species), Poly- 

 stictus cinnabarinus, Polyporus gilvus var. scruposus, Polyporus adustus, Daedalea 

 unicolor, Polystictus hirsutus. 



Professor W. G. Farlow, New Hampshire: Nidularia pisiformis. 



G. C. Fisher, Florida: Polystictus focicola, Lenzites rhabarbarina (only a 

 Sright colored southern form of saepiaria), Polyporus (unknown to me), Stereum 

 subpileatum, Polystictus abietinus, Polystictus conchifer, Corticium (sp.), Lenzites 

 porrugata, Polyporus fumosus, more ligneous than northern 'forms. Polystictus 

 parbatulus, Tremella, (cfr. mesenterica), Lenzites betulina, Geaster hygrometri- 

 bus, Lenzites saepiaria, Fomes carneus (?), Stereum fasciatum, southern form. 

 JDiffers some from the usual northern. Stereum (sp.), Rhizopogon rubescens, 

 Kmanita, coccinea. Irpex cinnamomeus, Polyporus gilvus, Polyporus (cfr. caesius), 

 fetereum caperatum, Stereum subpileatum, Stereum versicolor, Stereum compli- 

 patum. Better developed and not so "complicate" as more northern forms. Merul- 

 jus tremellosus, -Tylostoma Floridanum, Lycoperdon piriforme, Geaster annulatus, 

 Its I shall call it. It is a new form or apparently a very distinct species. It has 

 ji ring at the base of the endoperidium as does Geaster Bryantii of Europe, but has 

 kn even mouth (sulcate in Bryantii). This is the third species or form character- 

 ized by a similar ring that has reached me. (Cfr. also Geaster coronatus, form, of 

 Ceylon, Letter No. 17.) Lycoperdon cruciatum, Geaster hygrometricus (unopened), 

 Btereum complicatum, Polyporus adustus, Stereu mochraceoflavum (Beautiful, 

 iresh specimens), Tylostoma albicans, Clavaria, Thelephora terrestris, Polystictus
