Contribution to the Lichens ot Maine.--I, 
By F. L. Harvey, 
The following list embraces lichens from Maine collected by 
the Rev. Joseph Blake and found in the Blake Herbarium of the 
Maine State College, together with species noticed about Orono 
by the writer, and a few species recorded from Maine in Tucker- 
man’s North American Lichens. : 
The list includes all the species known by the writer to have 
been published from the State. No personal efforts have been 
made to collect these neglected forms beyond what was needed for 
class work, hence the list from Orono and other parts of the State 
is far from. exhaustive. 
Miss Cummings has collected quite extensively during the past 
Season in Aroostook Co., and we understand has detected quite a 
large number of interesting forms that will swell the State list. The 
lichens in the Blake Herbarium were largely collected from thirty to 
forty years ago, those from Mt. Ktaadn bearing date of July 4, 
1856. Mr. Blake’s correspondence shows that probably all his 
Specimens were determined by Tuckerman. The specimens have 
Withstood the ravages of time much better than the names have 
the criticisms of systematists. 
The synonymy has presented some knotty problems, which we 
trust have been correctly solved. The modern names only have 
been given in the list. We desire to acknowledge our indebted- 
ness to Miss Clara E. Cummings for professional courtesies. We 
Would be pleased to correspond with all who have collected 
lichens or other Cryptogams in Maine, looking toward a catalogue 
of the Cryptogams of the State. In listing the species we have 
followed the sequence adopted in Tuckerman’s “Genera Lichen- 
um.”
