Mr. Larbalestier (1877). 
Much resembling in general aspect Lecidea myriocarpa, DC. Gelatina hymenea

very minute spherical granules. 
On pine-bark, rare. Ballinahinch, co. Galway, Ireland, Mr. Larbalestier (1877). 
A very singular species. Gelatina hymenea I blue, then fulvescent. Spores :013-

On shady rocks, rare. Miderlin! near Kylemore, co. Galway, Ireland, Mr. Larba-

· Spores 006—008 mm. diam. А very beautiful new species. 
VERRUCARIA LARBALESTIERUL, Leight. Thallus albido-glaucescent, thin, tartareous,
