4—5 cm. Opposite to I '. rniiii/uiis ilic scales of the other two species 

 are llaltci-, and their cortex is persistant. /''. Icpidophorn has more horizontal 

 scales, loundetl, < iitire or crenate, and scattered over the whole thallus. 

 The scales of P. pniclcxhild are larger, erect or suberect, and arranged in 

 dense clusters, especially at the iiiari^iii of the thallus, hut also on the sur- 

 face, they are usually more incise than in J\ Irpidophara, sometimes quite 

 coralline.

Peltigera scabrosa is found on sandy soil, in sandy forests, and amongst 

 mosses in dry places. 



It is a frequent species in Northern Norway, evidently in all eleva- 

 tions, perhaps with the exception of the highest summits which, however, 

 have been but poorly investigated. \n Southern Norwa}- it is common in 

 alpine and less common in subalpine regions, down to 300 m. s. m., it only 

 exceptionally descends to the level of the sea. — In Northern Norwa}' it 

 is quite as common at the fjords as in the inland provinces. It is often 

 well fertile.
