roideo-depressisve, excipulo proprio in thallode crasso margine radiato- 

 rugoso imrnerso, disco piano purpureo-nigro immarginato. Sporre octo- 

 nae in thecis, minutas, obtusissime ellipsoideae, diblastas, fuscas. — Trunks, 

 Waialua Mountains, Oahu (Mann). — The interior exciple (white, inner 

 layer of the hypothecium) appears often (as more or less observable 

 also in A. protrudens) externally, making a membranaceous, lacerate- 

 denticulate border to the disk ; or once again, as in T/ielotrema, this 

 border disappears, and is represented by a white, powdery, at length 

 irregularly cracked veil which conceals the here concave disk. Proper 

 exciple pale, so far as observed, immersed in a thalline wart, the thick 

 border of which is, more or less distinctly, radiately cleft, or striate. 

 Apothecium reaching a line in diameter. Spores averaging only one 

 third of the size of the largest ones of the preceding species, or in 

 length scarcely more than .006 mm ; those of the Hawaiian A. protru- 

 dens exceeding, at length, .018 mm . 



Acolium Javanicum (Mont, and v. d. Bosch) Stizenb. — Trunks, 

 Oahu (Mann). 



Calicium tub^eforme (Mass.) Sphinctrina, Mass. S. microce- 

 phala, Nyl. — On thallus of Pertusaria sp., Oahu (Mann). 



Trib. V. Verrucariacei (Fr. 1821, Fee), Stizenb. 



Fam. 1. Endoearpei. 



Normandina Jungermannee (Del.) Nyl. — Growing on Sticta 

 crenidata in the mountains of West Maui, and on Pannaria molybdcea 

 in Oahu (Mann). 



Fam. 2. Verrucariei. 



Trtpethelium pallescens, Fee, Nyl. — Trees, Waialua Moun- 

 tains, Oahu (Mann). 



Pyrenula planiuscula. Verrucaria, Nyl., e descr. — Trees, 

 Oahu (Mann). — Not unlike V. insidata, Fee (determ. Nyl.), but with 

 spores of twice the dimensions. 



Pyrenula Cinchona (Ach. e Nyl. N. Gran.) Verr. prostans, 

 Mont. — Trees, Oahu (Mann). — Specimens also occur from the same 

 region, belonging apparently to the little cluster of forms which Dr. 

 Ny lander (under his Verr. subprostans, Pyrenoc. p. 56) has regarded 

 as possibly reducible to a single species. In the size of the spores 

 these specimens approach rather to V. subprostans, but in shape to V.
