Bead before the Boyal Society of Queensland^ May, 1912. 



The Lichen Flora of Queensland was published in 

 1888-9. Parts I-III (6) appeared in Volumes V and YI, 

 of the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Queensland, 

 Part IV, with Index and vSupplement, was printed by 

 Messrs. Pole & Outridge, in 1889. Since that time, a period 

 of twenty- three years, many additional lichens have been 

 recorded from this State by Dr. Jean Muller, of Geneva ; 

 Dr. Chas. Knight, of New Zealand ; Dr. James Stirton, 

 of Glasgow ; Rev. F. R. M. Wilson, and the author of this 

 paper. 



These additions have been described in various 

 scientific journals of Europe and Australia, and many 

 have been recorded bj^ our Government Botanist in his 

 Bulletins, or in Extracts from the Queensland Agricultural 

 Journal, 1890-1912. In these the sections dealing Mith 

 lichens were of my drafting. 



As many Queensland lichens are recorded under 

 incorrect names, and not infrequently under ^^Tong genera, 

 a revision is necessary, and as the Australian student 

 cannot consult the whole of the works, a summary is 

 required. This paper is an attempt to meet both these 

 requirements. 



The reference folloAving the name of each species gives 

 to the student the name of an Australian publiration 

 in which a description may be found, with the habitat of the 

 type specimen, and a means of obtaining other information. 



The classification is that of Dr. Jean Muller, of Geneva, 

 who adopted the distinguishing title of Muller of Aargau, 

 for which the abbreviation M.A. is used.
