Licliens. 



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



Lichens of Dalmatia.* — A. Zalilbriickiier gives an account of 

 collections made by several workers in various parts of Dalmatia, the 

 most important being from the mountsiinous country between Spalato 

 and Sinj, a district hitherto unexamined lichenologically. Most of the 

 species are such as grow on chalk formations ; in the higher regions 

 distinctly alpine forms were met with. The peculiar form of Parmelia 

 sexatiUs var. contorta was accounted for by the moisture in the atmo- 

 sphere and the prevalence of high winds.
