daiiiU vcllovv colour was often visible In .some other specimen.s the reac- 

 tion was doubtful. - I have been unable to find an absolute distinction 

 between the morphological characters, and I am, accordingly, unable to look 

 upon 'Stereocaulon snbcoralloides' as a proper species. 



The (listi'ibution of var. coui^loiiu niliini in Norway is insufficienth' 

 known. The above stations indicate a southern distribution. It must be 

 common on the coast, and probably less common in inland provinces. 

 (According to a herb, note in the moss herlj. 'Kongsberg W. Boeck' is a 

 mistake for Kragero).

The stations recorded for this species indicate a continuous distribu- 

 tion along our cocst as far north as Stat (and Froan?) north of Bergen. 

 We have no stations east of the Kristiania-fjord (Ostfoldl, but this province 

 has been poorly investigated, and .S. cvoliitiuii is common on the Swedish 

 west coast. 



The frequency of S. cvolittimi in our country is insufficiently known. 



According to Havaas it is common on the western coast, on rocks 

 occasionally moistened by water, and rare at the tjords (the inverse is the 

 case with S. coralloidcs). On the south east coast .S. coralloides is common 

 and vS. evolutum is also supposed to be so. — Very few inland stations 

 in Norway, ace. to Havaas common on the western mountains, often asso- 

 ciated with Buellia pulchclla. 



The medulla of S. coraUoidcs is 'KOH intense flavescens", S. evolutitni 

 is KOH -f- or only 'dilute flavescens'.
