Studies in Morphology.* — Birger Kajanus gives a series of notes 

 and observations he has been making on the subject of hchens. They 

 include an account of tree lichens, their occurrence on certain trees, 

 and the rate of growth. He then takes up lichens on dead wood, on 

 scattered stones, on glacier stones ; incidentally he describes a flat stone 

 on which he found a very large number of separate hypothalH belonging 

 to AspicUia alpina, Catocarpon Copelandi and Rhizocarpon geographic urn.
