Hellbom's Lichens of Lule Lapmark. 



Messrs. P. J. & E. V. M. Hellbom, of Orebro, Sweden, have 

 issued a " Centuria" of dried specimens of Lichens, collected by 

 them in 1871, in Lule Lapmark. Unfortunately, though with 

 printed labels, they are not numbered, so that it will be difficult to 

 quote them as Exsiccati. For convenience sake I have numbered 

 them in the following notes. They appear to be named after Th. 

 M. Fries Lichenes Arctoi, but I have transposed them into the 

 nomenclature adopted in Dr. W. Nylander's system, as that which 

 is best known and most used in Britain. The specimens, in general, 

 are good and characteristic, and comprise many rare and newly- 

 detected lichens. Amongst them are many species which occur also 

 in Britain, and the whole collection is interesting not only to 

 the general lichenist, but also to the British lichenist, inasmuch as 

 it identifies our insular species with those of more northern conti- 

 nental countries, and also enables us to detect several which have 

 not heretofore been recorded as British. The following notes made 

 during examination and identification, before placing them in my 

 herbarium, may prove of some value and interest : —
