179—ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF SPECIMENS 
RECEIVED SINCE LAST REPORT. 
Our thanks are extended to the following who have aided us by- 
sending in specimens. The nomenclature is as the specimens were named 
or as we named them when received. In a few instances our views have 
since been changed as L- separans which we are now calling L. erueia- 
tum (see p. 83). Many Lycoperdons we are unable to name because 
1st it is an extensive genus and we have not gotten it clear in our 
mind, and 2nd many specimens do not afford data for naming with 
our present knowledge of the genus. We believe that Lycoperdons 
are characteristic and that when we have once learned them thoroughly 
we will recognize specimens on sight, but a great deal of work will 
yet have to bs done with them. We are particularly anxious however 
to get material of this genus.
