CONTRIBUTIONS TO BRITISH LICHENOLOGY. 293 
V. microsporoides, Nyl. Lich. Armor. 413. — Glenarm, coimty An- 
trim, on rocks washed by the sea in storms (Jones), 
V.furvescens,l>iyl. in Flora, 1864, p. 356. — On the ground, summit 
of Ben Lawers (Jones, afterwards Carroll). Nearly allied to V.cJilo- 
rotlca^ Ach. Nylander describes the spores as 5 -septate, but in speci- 
mens examined by me they were 3-septate. 
V, glahraia^ Ach. ; V, dermatodes, Borr. ; Pyrenula niiida^ ^. derma- 
todeSy Mudd, Man. p. 229. — Frequent in the county Kerry on the bark 
of young trees, also at Glengariff, county Cork. Beadily distinguished 
from Y, nitiday Schrad., by the short, very obtuse spores, and by the 
absence of pelhicid dots on the thallus. 
F, cinerella^ Flot. Nyl. Pyren. p. 60 ; Pyrenula bifonnis^ Hepp. 
Flecht. 101. — Not rare, on young trees in county Kerry, and at Glen- 
w 
gatiif, county Cork. 
V, hryo^pila^ Nyl. in Flora, 1864, p. 357. — On the ground on a 
mountain over Kaafjord, Norway (July, 1863, Carroll) ; on Ben Lawers 
(July, 1864, Carroll), — Distinguished from Y, epidermidis^ Ach., by 
its entire perithecia, larger spores, and distinct paraphyses. 
Y. litoralis, Tayl. ; Leight. Br. Ang. Lich. p. 46 ; Y. consequens, 
Nyl, in Flora, 1864, p. 357. — On maritime rocks, apparently not rare, 
Kerry (Taylor); Glenarm (Jones); near Cork (Carroll), Perithecia 
entire or dimidiate ; paraphyses *' nullse aut non distinctse." Very 
near F*. epidermidis, Acli. 
Y. consociaiay Nyl. in litt. — Summit of Ben Lawers (Jones), A very 
minute and unsatisfactory plant, apparently parasitic on alien thallus ; 
spores 1-septate, broader at one end. 
Thelopsis melathelia, Nyl. Flora, 1864, p. 358.^ — On the ground, on 
mosses, summit of Ben Lawers (Jones). Asci many-spored ; spores 
ellipsoid or oblong, obscurely 3-septate ; paraphyses filiform, distinct ; 
hymeneal gelatine blue with iodine. 
MelanotJteca gelathiosa, Chev. ; Nyl. Enum. Gen. p. 145, — On the 
bark of young trees, frequent. 
* The two following new species are described by Nylander in * Flora,' 1865, 
p. 212j and may be added to Mr. CaiToIl's long list of new species. 
Vernicaria siihintegra^ Nyl., 1. c. — On granite rocks, Jersey (Larbalestier). 
J , leptotera^ ^jh? 1 c. — On rocks, Jersey (Larbalestier), — En,
