232 CRYPTOGAMIA ANTARCTICA, [Puegia, the 
A true Biatora, having the margins of the young apothecia both coloured and soft. It is not a European 
species, though belonging to Fries’ section “ fuscescentes” and allied to B. uliginosa. I have little doubt of its 
being the plant of Eschweiler. C. Babington.

Has. Falkland Islands; on rocks.

vol. i. p. 82. t. 4. f. 3. 
Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; on the top of Kater’s peak. 
It is possible that these imperfect specimens may be referable to some paradoxical form of L. vesicularis. C.B.

Haz. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; on hard soil. 
I am not satisfied with the identification of this with the British Z. candida : it may be merely a form of L. vesi- 
cularis. The hypothallus is black. ©. Babington.

Lich. Helvet. n. 168. : 
Has. Hermite Island, Cape Horn, and the Falkland Islands; on the ground, abundant. 
These specimens resemble Zsidium oculatum when in a young state. I am in doubt whether some may not be 
referable to Z. epigea, which, as well as L. vesicularis, is a very polymorphous plant. ©. Babingtoa. 
4. LEcIDEA aromatica, Ach.; Lich. Univ. p. 168. Engl. Bot. t.1777. 
Has. Kerguelen’s Land; on moist rocks. 
Specimens greener and darker than in Scheerer’s, but still I think referable to that species. C.B.

Has. Kerguelen’s Land; on rocks near the sea and on the hills. 
Specimens very fine, altogether resembling what I have gathered on the Austrian Alps. C. Babington.

Has. Kerguelen's Land ; on moist rocks. 
The specimens, which are rather young, certainly do not belong to Z. rivulosa, and are, I think, referable to Z. 
spilota, with which species, however, I am not sufficiently acquainted. C. Babington. 
7. LzorpEA contigua, Fries; Lich. Europ. p. 298. L. speirea, var. hydrophila, Fries, Z.c. Lec. 
confluens, (in part), Engl. Bot. t. 1864. 
Haz. Hermite Island, Cape Horn; on rocks. Var. Aydrophila, Kerguelen's Land; also on rocks. 
The disc does not appear to be pruinose when young, in which respect only this differs from Fries’ plant. It is 
allied to Z. nitidula, differing from it only in the apothecia springing from the crust; which is the case also in 
Scherer’s specimens of that plant. ©. Babington.
