392 DPv. LArDEU LIXDSAY ON THE 



In 1858 I esamined all the llclicns in tlic following public her- 



baria : 



1. The Iloolceriau Herbarium, Kew ; 



2. The Ilerharium of the British Museum ; 



3. The Linuean Herbarium of the Linnean Society ; and 



4. The Herbarium of the TJniversity of Edinburgh, which in- 

 cludes the JMeuziesian and the Grrevillian Herbaria ; 



as well as several lai^ge private herbaria, but with very little fruit 

 as regards lichens from Ice-land, Firb, or Norway. Those from 

 Iceland and Faro were under half a dozen ; while those from Nor- 

 way did not exceed three dozen, were mostly contained in the 

 Hookerian Herbarium, and were the fruit of tlie collection of the 

 indefatigable Sommerfelt (in his ' Itineraria ' of 182S). The Kew 

 Herbarium contains sundry specimens labelled as presented or 

 collected by Wahlenberg (180G), and Acharius (1809). No loca- 

 lities, however, are given. The presumption is that they are nio^^tly, 

 if not all, Swedish ; but whether or not this be the case, the ab- 

 sence of any note of locality renders it impossible to cite them for 

 present purposes of comparison. Of those lichens of undoubted 

 Norwegian origin which are to be found in the Kew Herbarmm, 

 the majority are already enumerated (in my foregoing list), ■d^*' 

 there are a few not therein included, which I hereto append: 



1. Trachjlla figiUaris, Pers. On pales, Osterdal (Sommerfelt, 



Uh, Itin. 1828). 



2. 8pli(Broplior on fragile, Pers., Avhich I regard as a mere form, 



always sterile, of S. coralloides, Pers. Saxicolous, near 

 Priedrichsvaern. 



3. Stereocaulon coralJoides, Schreb. '' Norway," in abundant 



fruit. Appears to nie only a form of S. pasclaJe, Laur. 



4. ;S: demuJatim, Pit. DovreQeld {Smrf TI. L).

 the aspect of an ochroleucous condition of A.jnlata, L-
