An enumeration of the Lichens collected by Dr. Spegazzini 

 during 1882 in the southern portions of South America, Twenty 

 new species are described in the genera Parmeliella, Lecanora, 

 Pertnsaria, Lecidea, Patellaria, Buellia, Byssocaidon, Leptotrema 

 Arthronia, Agyrinm and Arthopyrenia. With reference to the 

 paper it may not be considered as entirely out of place for us to 

 remark that while we have in it a study of the Lichen flora of 

 the Staten Island at the other end of the world, no work has ever 

 been done on the Lichens of the Staten Island which lies at the 

 mouth of the Hudson!
