It is not well classed as Geoglossum, nor to my mind as Mitrula 
where it has recently been placed'.

GASTER LUCIDUS — Ptychogaster corruscans? 
NOTE 8ir - PTYCHOGASTER LUCIDUS PROM W. A. ARCHER:, NEW 
MEXICO: Nature seems to have produced the genus Ptychogaster for 
the purpose of confusing the systematist. In this case she builds 
enough of the fungus on normal lines so that one may recognize its 
source, although greatly distorted and all out of shape. But the 
pores she changes so completely into a mass of conidial spores that 
the normal .pores are not suggested. Another Ptychogaster sent by 
Mr. Archer is so changed that its normal source is not sure though 
from its context color and spores I think it is derived from Poly— 
porus corruscans. While Ptychogasters rarely occur from some 
mysterious cause in well watered regions like Sweden, they are more 
common in semi-arid regions and seem to be a provision of Nature to 
insure production under conditions where the normal fungi do not 
have sufficient moisture to develop.

PRANCE: Je suppose que ce nom est correct; la # figure est conforme 
au dessin original envoye il y a quelques annees par Bornet au 
Museum de Pari^; mais^elle no me semble pas correspondre a, la des¬ 
cription premiere ni a celle de Q,uelet. Le "voile byssoidp" ne se 
moptre aucunement et 1'expression ”en forme de coupe” ne designe 
guere^la forme du fungus. D’apres les descriptions les pjus recentes 
publiees en France, la plante devrait etre "he'rissee de mpehes 
papilliformes." Rien de semblable ici. Je cueillis naguere en
