SOME ALASKAN LICHENS 
R. HEBER Howe, Jr. 
(WITH TWO FIGURES) 
During the summer of rorz, the late Frep. B. McKECHNIE, 
who accompanied Mr. A. C. Bent on the U:S. National Museum 
Expedition to Alaska, collected lichens for me in various localities, 
mostly on the coast of Alaska. The crustose species I sent to Dr. 
H. E. Hasse of Santa Monica, Cal., for determination, and the 
species of Cladonia and Stevestaglon were kindly named by Dr. 
L. W. Rwp te of Wellesley, Mass. I have arranged the species in 
accord with Miss Crara E. Cummrnes’ Lichens of Alaska (1910) 
for convenience in comparison, as well as with my Yukon list.* 
Mr. Merriti’s Yukon lichens? should not be overlooked among 
the recent papers on boreal northwest species.
