THE LICHENS OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE, 107 
STICTACEZÆ. 
[LOBARIA PULMONARIA, Hoffm. “ Lungwort.” On the bark of old trees, 
Sheddon Clough, near Burnley, Fl. Todmorden.] Long extinct. 
Also used to occur, formerly, in the Hebden Valley, in the adjacent 
part of Yorkshire, Fl. West Yorks. 
One of several old records which are of particular interest now-a-days to all who 
know the present deplorable state of corticole lichens in South Lancashire. It makes 
us realize vividly the great havoc which has been wrought in our cryptogamic flora by 
the enormous development of manufacturing industry in Lancashire during the past 
century, 
PELTIGERA CANINA, Hoffm. On mossy banks in the dunes, and among 
herbage and mosses on the ground in upland districts. Rather rare 
except on the dunes ; fruit, very rare. 
Sandhills, Formby, Freshfield, Ainsdale, &c. ; sandy ground near 
Mere Brow; dry bank at the base ef a wall, Law Farm near Colne, 
and on a roadside bank near Alma Inn, Laneshaw Bridge, Н. Robinson. 
Var. PALMATA, Duby. Dry sand-dunes between Freshfield and 
Ainsdale, fruiting, Nov. 23, 1913. 
Distinguished by the border of the thallus being divided in small palmate lobes, each 
terminating in & small apothecium. Apparently not previously recorded in the 
British Isles. 
PELTIGERA RUFESCENS, Hoffm. Among thin herbage on the ground in the 
older parts of limestone quarries and among limestone rocks and on 
walls ; occurs also on mossy parts of dry sand-dunes on the coast. Not 
seen in fruit. 
Frequent in the limestone area in the Ribble Valley about Chatburn 
and Clitheroe ; sandhills at Formby and Ainsdale, but very sparingly. 
PELTIGERA SPURIA, Leight. On peaty earth amongst pine-trees, and also on 
sand-dunes.

May 1908, Rept. Lichen Ех. Club, 1911 ; on sand-dunes near West End 
Farm, Ainsdale, Aug. 1914. 
PELTIGERA POLYDACTYLA, Hoffm. Amongst short herbage on the ground. 
Occasional in inland localities, but frequent on the sandhills. 
Old quarry, Aughton, A. A. Dallman and the authors, March 1907 ; 
Simmonswood Moss ; sandhills at Ainsdale and Freshfield. 
PELTIGERA HORIZONTALIS, Hoffm. Оп dry, bare mossy banks on the sand-
