550 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION D. 
submitted the lichens of his collection to Elias Fries, who 
enumerated, in the “ Planta Preissiane, or Enumeratio Plan- 
tarum,” edited in 1847 by Christian Lehman, 23 lichens, inclusive 
of 2 described as new. 
In 1839 Mr. Joseph D. Hooker accompanied Sir Jas. Clark 
Ross in his Antarctic expedition. On returning to England he 
drew up an account of the botany of the voyage. The 3rd and 
4th vols. contain the “ Flora Tasmaniz,” 1847, in which Messrs. 
Babington and Mitten enumerate 92 lichens, inclusive of 2 
described as new. Mr. Hooker was assisted in the collection of 
these by seven persons, whose names he gives. 
After Hooker’s visit to Australia, Mr. Drummond sent to him 
from the Swan River, among other plants, a number of lichens, 
which were submitted to Messrs. Taylor, Montague, and Berkeley, 
and the names and descriptions were published in the Lozdon 
Journal of Botany, 1844-47. 
In 1847 Dr. Ferd. Mueller, now Baron v. Mueller, came to 
Adelaide, and made collections in South Australia till 1852 and 
in Victoria during 1848. The lichens were sent to Dr. Hampe, 
who published their names and descriptions in Schechtendal’s 
Linnea. Yn 1852 Dr. Mueller was made Government Botanist in 
Victoria; and in his reports to the Victorian Council in 1854, 
and to the Assembly in 1858, he transcribed from the Lzmn@a a 
list of 31 Victorian lichens, and a list of 15. 
Baron v. Mueller informs me that M. Verreaux, mentioned by 
Nylander as an Australian collector, came out to New South 
Wales at the expense of the Paris Museum, and that Mrs. 
Dietrich came to the same colony at the expense of Godefroy, of 
Hamburg, as a collector for his herbarium. Ludwig Leichardt 
collected a few lichens in New South Wales for the Melbourne 
Bot. Mus. 
In 1858-1860 Nylander published his Syx. Meth. Lich., in 
which he notices 77 Australian lichens. His works have 
revolutionised the study of lichenology, and necessitate revision 
of all lichens previously named. 
In New Soutn Wats Rev. Dr. W. Wools published, in 1867, 
in his “Contribution to the Flora of Australia,” the names of 
fourteen lichens collected by him in New South Wales, chiefly 
near Parramatta. The names are not reliable. 
“Der Reise der Oecsterreichischen Fregatte /Vovara” was 
published at Vienna, 1870, in which Dr. Krempelhuber records 
four lichens collected by the JVovara expedition from 1857 to 
1860. 
Dr. Chas. Knight, having made a collection of 52 lichens in 
the neighbourhood of Sydney, published their names, including 
descriptions of 40 new species, in the Trans. Lin. Soc., Lond., 
1882. This is a most valuable contribution to the lichenology of 
New South Wales.
