L e canora punicea var. infusca*) Strn. nov. var. (p. 38). „Similar 

 to L. punicea var. Babingtonii, but the apothecia are reddish-brown, with 

 whitish crenulate margins, and with thallus minutely whitish-granulose. Para- 

 physes not separable, with almost colourles apices, but slightly club-shaped 

 (K — ); hypothecium colourless. On burk, Jimbour." 



Lecanora punicea var. coli ata Strn. (p. 38). „Apothecia innate.

Lecidea (Buellia) subrepleta Strn. (p. 38). „Thallus pallid, thin, 

 fractured into small tile-like plates (K — C — ) ; apothecia sessile, black, flat, 

 at first marginata, then convex and immarginate ; spores 2-, 4-, 6-, usually 4, 

 brown , ellipsoid, or obtuse - fusiform , 1-septate , 30 — 40 X H — 14 // ; para- 

 physes sleuder, distinct, filiform, irregulär, branched, towards the apex, brown, 

 and club-shaped; hypothecia thick, brownish- black. Hymenium with J

 obtusely margiued, finally somewhat convex ; spores 8 in saccate thecae, brown, 

 ellipsoid, with a single loculus at each pole, 20 — 27 X H — 13 /* ; paraphyses 

 slender, distinct, apices black and clavate ; hypothecium slightly fuscesceut or 

 almost colourless. Hymenium with J lightly coerulescent, at lenght vinose- 

 fulvescent, especially the thecae. On bark, Jimbour." 



Lecidea [Buellia) r estitut a Strn. (p. 39). „Thallus whitish or 

 pallid, minutely and conversely areolate (K yellowish) ; apothecia innate, ad 

 first clothed by the thallus, finally black, flat or somewhat convex, taintly 

 margined, mediocre; spores 8, brown, ellipsoid or oblong-ellipsoid, often slightly 

 curved and polari-bilocular with short tubules, 1-septate, nucleatae, 24 — 34 X 

 9 — 12 ,«; paraphyses slender fairly separable, apices black and clavate; hypo- 

 thecium blackishbrown. Hymenium with J intensely coerulescent. On bark, 

 Jimbour." 



Arthonia subcondita Strn. (p. 39). „Thallus whitish or pallid, thin;

 11 — 14 /« ; paraphyses seldom visible ; hypothecium colourless. Thecae with 

 J vinose-violaceous, while, the spores take a lutescent tint. On bark, 

 Thursday Island." 



Verrucaria coarctata Strn. (p. 39). „Thallus indicated by whitish 

 spots ; apothecia black, slightly prominent, nude, minute, width to about 

 0,3 mm , perithecium nearly sphaerical , incurved and colourless beneath ; 

 spores 8, in saccate thecae, colourless, ellipsoid, divided into numerous and 

 brick-like cellules , 6 — 9 X 2—5 locular, 27 — 35 X 13 — 18 ," ; paraphyses 

 long, distinct, filiform. Hymenium not coloured with J, lutescent; with 

 the same reagent, the ^thecae become vinose fulvescent. On bark, Thursday 

 Island." 



Arthonia conspersula Strn. (p. 39). „Thallus pallid, thin; apothecia 

 black, flat or rather convex, to about 0,5 mm, rotund or somewhat irregulär, 

 within colourless or ashy pale; spores 2 — 4 — 6, oblong ellipsoid, 3-septate or 

 rather 4-locular, 36 X 11 — 14 f. Hymenium with J wine red. Thecae broad, 

 ellipsoid, valls thick and hyaline. Spores when young often simple. On bark,

Trypethelium exiguellum Strn. (p. 39). „Thallus indicated by 

 thin, whitish or somewhat bluish spots ; apothecia black, 2 — 6, crowded, at
