Lichens. 



(By A. Lorrain Smith, F.L.S.) 



European Lichens.* — H. Olivier publishes the first fascicles of this 

 comprehensive work. There is a very short introduction, a more full 

 and general discussion being promised at a later stage. Olivier begins 

 with the old classification of heteromerous lichens and gives the first 

 place among these to the fruticulose, then the foliaceous. Of these he 

 records for Europe 310 species. The largest number has been found in 

 France, 243 in all. In the British Isles there have been found 206, so 

 that 104 are wanting to complete the list. A key is published of the 

 genera, and similar keys to the species precede each genus. No detailed 

 diagnosis is given beyond that contained in the keys, but a certain 

 amount of bibliography accompanies the name, and the habitat and 

 localities are added. 



American Lichens.t — G. Lindau has determined a number of 

 lichens from the Andes of Peru and from Colombia, collected by 

 Weberbauer and Pehlke. The collection, although small, shows the 

 different lichen vegetation in these two territories. Lindau describes 

 four new species.
