In Southern Norway' there are no stations from the west coast and 

 none from the south coast west oi the Kristiania fjord. At this ijord it 

 sometimes descends to the level of the sea, at the western fjords it has not 

 been recorded lower than 350 m. s. m. (Havaas). It is not common in 

 Western Norway, but otherwise it is one of the most frequent and most 

 conspicuous Hchens in the forest zone in Southern Norway, it ascends 

 higher than the tree line, but probably not to the highest summits. 



On the coast against the Arctic Ocean it is in places rather scarce, 

 chiefly found on the plateaus of the promontories (Norw. 'næringer'). It 

 is, however, still more common in Northern than in Southern Norway, and 

 at the northern fjords it descends to the level of the sea as a common plant. 



A saxicolous species, but not rare on old wood : wood-fences, old 

 stems of felled Pimis silvcstcr, and the like. 



A monotypous species, varying only as to the colour, which is some- 

 times paler (greyish white) than usual. 



P3'cnides (vulgo steriles) subglobosae, diam. 120 — 130 ;x, perifulcrium 

 circum ostiolum solum obfuscatum, pycnoconidia recta, medio leviter con- 

 stricta, 5 — 7 \j^ longa.
