LIOHI'NA, Ag. A genus of Collema- 

 ceous Lichens, allied to COLLEMA and 

 EPHEBE in many respects, formerly in- 

 cluded among the Algee on account of their 

 growing on the sea-shore (near high-water 

 mark), but having the thallus of a lichen 

 and bearing true apothecia and spermogonia. 

 The globose apothecia occur at the ends of 

 the branches of the thallus ; in L. pyymaa 

 the spermogonia occur underneath the apo- 

 thecia, in L. confinis at the apices of the 

 branches and often on the apothecia. The 

 spores, 8, simple, appear generally to adhere 

 to the walls of the thecse, which break up. 

 Sperniatia oblong.

LICMO'PHORA, Ag. A genus of Dia- 

 tomaceae. 



Char. Frustules in front view cuneate, 

 elongate, radiating in a fan-shaped manner 

 from a branched stipes ; side view (valves) 

 convex, inflected at the larger end and fur- 

 nished with transverse striae (rows of dots). 

 Marine. 



L. jlabellata, S. (radians, K.) (PI. 17. fig.

The species (one other British, Sm., five 

 in all, Kiitz.) are doubtfully distinct.

LICNO'PHORA, Cl. A genus of Peri- 

 trichous Infusoria; resembling Trichodina, 

 but the anterior portion obliquely flattened, 

 and partly involute. Two species, on 

 Doris, marine Planarice, &c. (Kent, Inf. 

 651 ; Clap. Ann. So. N. 1867, viii.) 



LIEBERKUH'NIA, 01. & Lachm. A 

 genus of Reticularian Rhizopoda. Oviform, 

 with very thin test ; nucleus and contractile 

 vesicle unknown ; vacuoles present ; pseudo- 

 podia very long and reticular, branching 

 from a single stem, which is coated with an 

 extension of the filmy sarcode covering the 

 surface. 1 species ; fresh water at Berlin, 

 sea-water at Tenby.

LIGAMENTS and TENDONS. With the 

 exception of the elastic ligaments, which 

 are noticed under that head, the structure 

 of ligaments and tendons is essentially the 

 same. They consist of fibrillar connective 

 tissue, with a small quantity of elastic
