be convenient to retain the name Sticti?ia cervicornis ] the others 

 will be referred to the genus Sticfa under the name of Stictafa- 

 veolata, 



Stictina carpoloma (Nyl. Syn. p. 339). 



The lichens arranged under this name in the Kew collections 

 must be referred to the genus Sticta, with the exception of two 

 specimens — one {Stictina gilva) collected by Lyall in tlie Falk- 

 land Islands, and the other (also Stictina gilvd) collected by Dr, 

 Mueller in Victoria (no. 154). As far as one can determine from 

 the Kew collections, which are extremely rich in specimens, 

 S. gilva has been mistaken for S. carpoloma. 



Dr. Nylander, in his ' Synopsis/ quotes as synonyms of >S^. carpO' 

 loma, Del., the S.Desfontainii, Del . and S.gt/rosa, Flot. (Lechler's 

 PI. Macleov. no. 6G). The specimens of S, Desfontanii in the 

 Kew Museum (no. 562, Lechl. PI. Chilenses) are widely different 

 from S, carpoloma ; and those of S. gyrosa from the Falkland 

 Islands bear no resemblance whatever to it. 



Stictina granulata (Nyl. Syn. p. 340). 



These, Dr. Nylander has since found, belong to the genus 

 Sticta. 



Sticta retigera (Nyl. Syn. p. 351). 



Belongs to the genus Stictina, There are numerous specimens 

 in the Kew Museum, chiefly arranged under Sticta pulmonacea, 



Sticta linita (Xyl. Syn. p. 353). 



Several specimens arranged under this name in the Kew Mu- 

 seum belong to Stictina, They differ from Stictina retigera and 

 S. scrohiculata in having white powdery pseudocyphellse, and from 

 Sticta puhnonacea and ^S'. linita in having the gonidial layer made 

 up of bluish " granula gonima" instead of true gonidia. I have 

 named them Stictina reticulata. 



Sticta scrohiculata (Nyl. Syn. p. 353). 



Dr. Nylander has lately correctly referred It to Stictina.
