This variety does not appear to have been previously recorded from any British 
locality; we therefore give the following description of it:—Thallus granulose- 
verrucose, the verrucæ often pulverulent ; apothecia large, convex, sessile, difform, or 
two to four connate and forming a mass reaching 3 mm. in diameter. 
Г Baomyces ROSEUS, Pers.

П. Higgins  F. P. Marrat, Hep. & Lichens of Lpool. | 
No later record, and the present existence of this species in our 
district is uncertain.

On walls, Rainhill, Rev. H. И. Higgins, Hep. & Lichens of Lpool. | 
Undoubtedly an error, as the true plant only occurs sparingly on 
some of the highest Scottish mountains; nor can we guess with any 
probability what the lichen really was.
