The Lichens 



of the 



Swedish Antarctic Expedition 



by 



OTTO VERNON DARB1SH1RE. 



Introduction. 



The following is a report on the lichens brought back by the Swedish Ant- 

 arctic Expedition which left Göteborg in 1901 and returned in 1904. On June 5th 

 1905 Dr. SkoTTSBERG offered me the opportunity of working through this material 

 for the collection of which he was mainly responsible and I gladly accepted this 

 offer. Owing to circumstances over which I had no control however the completion 

 of the report of these plants has been delayed till the present date. 



The lichen material brought back was found to be in an excellent state of pre- 

 servation. The specimens were well collected and after careful drying were packed 

 in paper and put by in small boxes. Not a single specimen was found to have 

 suffered from mould. The following list will give some idea of the quantity of 

 material brought back; —
