The specimens examined, when preparing the short notice of the Antarctic Lichens for the London Journal of 
Botany, were very imperfect; and their under-surface exhibiting no cyphellee, we referred them to the 8. scrobiculata, 
which they considerably resemble, especially in colour, and in their fetid scent when moistened. Other specimens 
showed white cyphellz in abundance, and allied the plant so closely to the European $. limbata, that we can detect 
no marked difference between them, beyond what is afforded by the colour of the powdery gramulations on the 
surface. 
Delise’s description of S. Thouarsii leaves no doubt in our mind of this being his plant. The apothecia are 
unknown. Fuegian specimens are of a paler colour than the Falkland Island ones.

We have added a figure of this much-disputed species, concerning which we have fallen into an error in the 
previous part of this work, having regarded it as synonymous with the S. glabra of Lord Auckland’s group and 
Tasmania (probably the S. Delisea Fée,), and which differs from the S. Freycinetii principally in the very shallow, 
not deeply cupped apothecia. 
Fuegia and the Island of Juan Fernandez are the only localities in which we know this species to occur.

Our specimens, which are small and barren, differ in colour and in the less decidedly marked coste, from 
those of New Zealand; the lobes also are occasionally furnished with an isidiophorous border. The thallus is 
about an inch and a half high, the upper surface of a dirty greenish-brown, the under pale yellow-brown and 
uniformly covered with a short tomentum, into which the concolorous and rather large cyphelle are sunk. They . 
may, indeed, belong to a state of 8. obvoluta, Ach., with the upper surface glabrous; but hardly to any of the other 
species enumerated here.

We have before pointed out the singular scarcity, in the Southern Hemisphere, of some of those Lichens 
which are most abundant in all latitudes of the North Temperate and Arctic Zones. Stereocaulon corallinum 
affords another remarkable instance of this anomalous distribution. Except, perhaps, the Cenomyce rangiferina, 
it is the very commonest of all Lichens in the subalpine districts of Britain and Central Europe, in the Alpine
