Lichens. 

 (By. A. Lorrain Smith.) 



New Lichen Genus.* — A. Jatta has found among the lichens 

 collected in Chili by G-. F. Scott Elliot a new form with a very sparse 

 lichen thallus somewhat resembling the thallus of a Ccenogonium. He 

 considers it to be the type of a new genus, Amphiloniopsis. The 

 apothecia are lecanorine, of a beautiful orange colour ; the spores are 

 fusiform, three-septate. The fungus grew on the spines of Gere us 

 peruvianas. Jatta places this genus along with AmphUoma and Lepro- 

 loma in the tribe Amphilomei. 



French Lichens.f — Bouly de Lesdain has collected lichens during 

 July and September for three years in succession in the neighbourhood
