Art. XXXIX. — List of Lichenes and Bryophytes collected in StewaH 

 Island during the Botanical Survey of 1908. 



By L. Cockayne, Ph.D. 



[Read before the Philosophical Institute of Canterbury, Qth October, 1909.] 



The following were, with a few exceptions, collected in October, 1908, during 

 my investigation of Stewart Island botany for the Department of Lands 

 and Survey. The identifications were made by Dr. G. Lindau (Eoyal 

 Botanical Museum of Berlin), Dr. V. F. Brotherus (Helsingfors), and Mr. 

 F. Stephani (Leipzig), to which eminent speciaUsts I am deeply grateful. 

 Unfortunately, the identifications arrived too late for insertion in my report 

 to the Department. 



For the sake of easy reference, the species are arranged in alphabetical 

 order, and their position in Hooker's " Handbook of the New Zealand 

 Flora " is also cited. 



Mr. J. W. Murdoch rendered most valuable assistance in collecting, 

 and to him my warmest thanks are due. 



Stewart Island is extremely rich in bryophytes and lichens, and this 

 list must be looked upon as merely a small contribution towards the know- 

 ledge of these interesting plants.
