My Dear Sir:

The specimens you
send differ slightly from the
description of Tulostoma mammosum
in having the mouth of the
peridium slightly lacerate, not
"entire". Still I think it a
mere form of the species as
I do not find other differences
sufficient to warrant a specific
separation. The specimens are
large and well developed though
apparently old.

Very truly yours
Chas. H. Peck.
