LICHENS. 



Cellular flowerles.s plants, deriving uourisliment througli their whole surface 

 from the medium in wiiioh they live, the air : propagated by spores. 



" A large tribe of cryptogams belonging to the Fungal alliance, and distinguished 

 from Fungi by their not deriving nutriment in general from the substance on which 

 they grow, but from the surrounding medium ; by their slow development and long 

 endurance ; and, technically, by their jiroducing withiu their substance granules 

 distinct from the general tissue, called gonidia, which in certain conditions are 

 reproductive. Lichens are in some cases useful as articles of food and medicine ; but 

 their principal economical value consists in their properties as dyes." — Berkeley. 



Ceiiomijce rangiferina, commonly called reindivr moss, is the chief food of the 

 reindeer, when other food cannot be obtained. Cetraria islanilica — the Iceland moss 

 of the shoj)s — is a well-known ai'ticle of nourishment. And Tripe de Roche, on 

 which Canadian hunters are sometimes reduced to subsist, is furnished by licliens of 

 the genus Ggrophnra and others. 



I have not heard of any collection of Lichens having been made by the late 

 Sir. Sulpiz Kurz ; I am, therefore, reduced to offer the following meagre list of a few 

 species casually gathered by myself on the hills of Martaban and Tenasserim. 



They have been named (through Dr. M. C. Cooke) by the Bcv. J. M. Crombie.
