IV. Synopsis of the Discomycetous Fungi of the 

 United States 



(PART II) 

 BY M. 0. COOKE, M. A. 



[Bead before this Society, September' 3, 1875.] 



Since the publication of the first part of this " Synopsis," and 

 even while it was passing through the press, I became aware of 

 some additions and corrections consequent on the examination of 

 specimens kindly placed at my disposal for that purpose by Mr. 

 C. H. Peck. These corrections will claim attention previous to 

 the continuation of the enumeration. 



Helvella gracilis Peck, is evideutly the same as that referred to Relvella 

 sulcata as the variety pallescens of Schoeffer. It is clearly more nearly aHied 

 to E. ephippium and is apparently the same as lias been publislied in Europe 

 as S. leucophaea. For the present it is better that Mr. Peck's name should 

 not be disturbed, as I cannot determine for certainty my suspicions, without 

 authentic specimens of the European form. 



Geoglossum liirsutum var. Americauum (Mycographia, pi. i, fig 1) is a 

 very distinct form #ith 9-septate sporidia, received from Mr. W. R. Gerard, 

 of Poughkeepsie, N, Y. 



Geoglossillil flaviim Peck, was inadvertently written for Geoglossiim 



luteuiu Peck, under which latter name it is recorded in Hedwigia, Jan. 1875, 

 and figured in Mycographia, pi. iii, fig. 12. 



1 7. * Peziza plilebophora B. c6 Br. On the ground. Ala. (Peters). 



20. Pezizia atroviiiosa Gooke. The locality should have been New York 

 (Gerard), not New Jersey, as stated. 



30. P. cupularis Fr. Add N. Y. (Gerard).
