COLLECTED DUBING THE ENGLISH POLAR EXPEDITION. 367 



this could be connected, but in vain. By its small spores 

 it agrees with V. striatula, rnicrospora, &c. ; but its thallus is 

 of so very different a nature that they are rather to be re- 

 ferred to different groups. — Crusta saepe lente detegenda, mollis, 

 sed minime gelatinosa; verruca* interdum nonnihil inaequales. 

 Apothecia circ. 0*8 mm. lata. Sporae 8nae, 0009-0012 mm. 



longae et 0004-0006 crassae. Gelatina hymenea iodo vinose 

 rubet. 



95. Peltigeba oanina (Z.), Schcer.

 quarters, also fertile ; Discovery Bay and Mount Discovery, 

 sterile ; Hayes Sound, fertile. 



96. Peltigeba scabbosa, Th. Fr. Lich. Arct. p. 45. 



In the vicinity of Floeberg Beach and on the Dean Mountain, 

 altit. 900 feet, in both places sterile ; from Dobbin Bay, so young 

 that it is like a cupular Peziza. 



97. Lecothecium aspbellttm (Ach.\ Th. Fr. 



In many places in the vicinity of Floeberg Beach, on stone. 

 All specimens sterile, and most of them badly developed ; hence 

 the determination is not quite certain.
