I92I.N0. 7- LAPPOMAN LICHEN NAMES. 247 



visskis htirhfic [yellow lichen], and the \-ery dark variety Cctr. /liastr/is, 

 nearly related to Ccfr. Is/aiuL : 



tsjœppcs burhfic [black lichen]. This name was also applied to Stcreo- 

 caulon paschalc. — The name 



jovjciua buyhfic =^ Alcdoria ochrokiica is due to the same informant. 

 Cfr. above the name jovjem{à) = Alectoriac and the other beard-lichens 

 on trees. By the addition of ^biirhfie' is designated, that the species grow 

 on the field. At last A. B. has mentioned 



visskis skalltsjc [yellow sk.] = Nephroma airticiiiu. The informant 

 added: 'The Reindeer does not eat this lichen'. Cfr. above pag. 245 about 

 Nephronia. 



These details of Southern Lapponian Lichen names may need control 

 and supplement by continued gathering of information. We must then 

 chiefl}' communicate with the oldest Lapps. In the tracts near Roros at 

 any rate the knowledge of the Lapponian lichen names appears to diminish 

 quickly among the growing generation of Lapps.
