The specimen described in “The'Discomycetes of East-

Peziza vesiculosa Bull. From the description there seems 
to be little distinction between the two species. The cups 
are large and often irregular in form and the flesh very 
brittle. This species has been found to be very common 
in strawy manure and soil fertilized with such materiaL
