Summit of White Pass, 3000 ft. (Trelease, 951 in part); Kadiak 

 (Trelease, 945) ; Port Clarence (Trelease, 941). All on rock. Col- 

 lected by Dr. Bean at Port Clarence, Icy Cape, and Cape Lisburne. 



The specimen from White Pass, which is mixed with Buellia geo- 

 graphica, differs from themore common form, in that the thallus is 

 not continuous, but broken into areoles. The specimen from Port 

 Clarence has the apothecia urceolate, and sometimes white pruinose. 

 Interspersed in the thallus are reddish-gray, granulose warts. This 

 is a very variable and widely distributed species, which has been 

 classified under several generic names. Common in Greenland and 

 in alpine and arctic regions.
