Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn ; on rocks. 



The Cockbuni Island plant, referred (in Lond. Journ. Bot.) to this, we have elsewhere described as Lecanora 

 Babingtoni.

 Hab. Hermite Island, Cape Horn ; on rocks. 



I have little hesitation in considering this plant to be that described by Tries ; though I know the latter from 

 description alone. It approaches Schserer's L. atro-alba (n. 178); but the apothecia do not appear to rise from 

 the thallus. C. Babinyton.

Hab. Falkland Islands , on alpine quartz rocks. 



At first sight this resembles Lecanora subfusca, (or rather the var. orostltea,) but the hypothallus is quite black. 

 I feci no doubt of its being the L. glacialis, which is compared with the above-mentioned species, both by Fries and 

 Sehserer. The only difference I can detect between the European and Antarctic specimens, lies in the apothecia of 

 the former being dusky within, and not white.

I am hardly satisfied with the determination of the Hermite Island specimens : they are certainly allied to the 

 L. sabuletorum and also to L. arctica. They further resemble Bialora verualis, var. sangtdneo-atra, Fries ; but this L. 

 sabuletorum is scarcely a Biatora, and may be an undescribed species of Lecidea. C. Babhtgton.
