Illinois Lichens. — Mr. J. Wolf, of Canton, Illinois, has zealously collected the 

 Lichens of his region for several years, and tlie following list is made up from the 

 specimens sent to me. The district appears to be quite rich in earth lichens, some of 

 which are rare and interesting, and the search for which would doubtless be profitable, 

 and in rail lichens belonging to the genera Lecidea and Biafom, which are peculiarly 

 subject to be modified by this substrate, and thereljy reudei-ed difticult to determine. 

 There are also in the same habitat many small fungi which simulate lichens so closely 

 that that they can safely be distinguished only by the microscope.
