NOTES ON WESTERN LICHENS. 
By Dr. E. StizENBERGER. 
Mr. Robert Reuleaux having kindly favoured me with a 
small collection of Lichens gathered during his travels 
through the United States, and comprising specimens from 
Yellowstone Park and Monterey, California, as well as from 
Sitka in Alaska—some of them never found in America 
before—I made the above mentioned cryptogams the subject 
of my special study, the results of which are laid down 
in the following list, intended to serve as a supplement to 
the late Prof. Tuckerman’s Synopsis of North American 
Lichens.
