NOTES AND EXHIBITS. 711 



of Ascaris marina{V) recorded^ from Victoria, none of these 

 parasites have been noted before from Australia. The specimens 

 were mainly collected by Dr. Cleland,]and Messrs. F. H. Taylor, 

 and T. H. Johnston. 



Mr. Cheel showed a collection of Lichens, comprising — 

 CoLLEMACEiE : Dendviscocaulon Jilicinellum Nyl.; associated with 

 ■Sticta (Stictina) cyphellulata (Miill. Arg.), on rocks, at Belmore 

 Falls, N.S.W.; and with S. {Stictina) fuliginosa S. Gray, on 

 trunks of trees, at Upper Fern-tree Gnlly, Victoria; and with 

 Sticta iiVw (Hoffm.) Nyl., at Ohakune, New Zealand. This 

 interesting species was first recorded from New Zealand by 

 Nylander, and afterwards by Dr. Jean Miiller; Miiller's speci- 

 mens were collected by Colenso, Nos.1646, 1702, Herb. Kew., 

 and recorded under the name of Leptogium dendroides J. Miill. 

 {Bull, de THerb. Boissier, ii., Append, i., p. 18, 1894); Journ. Linn. 

 Soc.(Bot.) xxxii., 197 (1895). The late Rev. F. R. M. Wilson 

 found it associated with Sticta stipitata C.Kn., at Mount Macedon, 

 Victoria; and regarded it as the juvenile state of that species 

 {vide Proc. Roy. Soc. Queensl., vii., p. 8, 1889;. Although a keen 

 search was made both at Belmore Falls and Fern-tree Gully for 

 Sticta stipitata C. Kn., no specimens were found, so it is concluded 

 that it must be distinct. — Pannariace.e : Erioderma Knightii 

 Shiiley(syn. Platijsma eriophyllum C. Kn.); on branches of 

 Leptospermum scoparium Forst., near Mount Ngongotaha, New 

 Zealand(E. Cheel; March, 1909). Previously only recorded from 

 Mount Mistake, Queensland, fiom specimens collected by Mr. F. 

 M. Bailey in (Wilson Herb. No. 1294) National Herbarium New 

 South Wales. — Lichens are usually found attached to rocks, 

 trees, or on the ground; but the following are of interest because 

 of the different substances on which they are found, viz. : — 

 Parmelia Jimhata Laur., var., on white glass; Gladesville (Miss 

 M. Flockton). P. corispersa Ehrh., var., on leather, Lismore, 

 N.S.W. (Rev. F. R. M. Wilson); on old sackcloth, Centennial 

 Park (E. Cheel). Caloplaca pyracea Th.Fr., on bones; Lismore, 

 Victoria (Rev. F. R. M. Wilson).
