We feel that this is a solution of the Bovista tomentosa puzzle of Europe and that Bovista brunnea is an old specimen of Bovista tomentosa. I ought to add that Dr. Hollos has gotten the matter right as far as the European species is con The spores of both species are unusually uniform in size, a scant 20 mic, and a little smaller not more tlian one or two microns in the Brazilian plant In the type specimens I do not find any spores over 20 mic, and the measurement, " 24-2S mic," is too large. _ 6 When Father Kick found the spores of his plant to be scarcely 20 mic. in diameter, he was justified in not referring it to the Ceylonese species, described as having spores " 24-2S mic" But like many so-called " new species," it will develop, I think, that it was based simply on the error of the "old species." cerned and that Fuckel's Exsic. No. 1884, belongs here as he states, but I take no stock in his reference of the American species, Bovista minor and Bovistella dealbata, to the same species. A MAMMOTH FORM OF LYCOPERDON PULCHERRIMUM. What would undoubtedly have been a "new species," had it been sent separately, was received from E. Bartholomew, Stockton, Kansas. It was a large, turbinate plant (See Fig. 233) more of the shape of a Calvatia than of any Lycoperdon of our eastern states. It had exactly the same cortex, gleba color, capillitium and spores as Lycoperdon pulcherrimum and was accompanied by smaller plants that are exactly our usual form of this species. We, therefore, have to refer it to our eastern species, but if sent alone it would have been a good "new species." Shape and size do not seem to count for much in the puff balls, a...
