180 BEV. J. M. CROMIJIE ON LICHEKS 



This species is easily known from the characters given. The 

 gonidia are subchroolepoid. 



* 



On stones, on the underside ; only a single small specimen seen. 



Tribe Pykenocabpei. 



NORMANDINA PULCHELLA (Borr.). 



Amongst small mosses, associated with Pannaria rubiginosa (saxieole) ; 

 very sparingly gathered and sterile. 



Endocarpon hepaticum, Ach.y Nyl. 



On the bare ground ; apparently not uncommon. 



It will be seen from the above Enumeration that the present col- 

 lection (made, as already observed, during a few days' excursions to 

 the same locality) is larger, both in the total of species and varieties 

 and also in the number of novelties gathered, than that of Dr. 

 "VVawra as recorded by Massalongo. At the same time the speci- 

 mens collected both by Dr. Wawra and Mr. Eaton can evidently be 

 regarded only as the firstfruits of the rich and rare Lichen harvest 

 of the Cape that remains to be reaped by some resident botanist.

The first record which we find of the Lichen-flora of this remote 

 island is that given by Dr. J. D. Hooker and Dr. Thomas Taylor, 

 in the ' London Journal of Botany/ vol. iii. (1844) pp. 634-658, 

 amongst the other Antarctic Lichens collected by the former gen- 

 tleman during the voyage of H.M. Discovery-ships ' Erebus ' and

Terror' (1839-43). The Kerguelen lichens thus enumerated 

 amount to seventeen species, of which, however, at least one half 

 must be excluded, as being hasty and erroneous determinations, 

 resulting chiefly from the absence of microscopical analysis. This 

 list was subsequently revised by the Rev. Churchill Babington 

 for Dr. Hooker's « Flora Antarctica,' vol. ii. (1847) pp. 519-542, 

 where, with emendations and additions, it is increased to twenty- 

 seven species and varieties. A considerable proportion of these, 

 however, as in the former case and tor the same reason, must be 

 deleted. Unfortunately, 1 have not at present been able to find
