136 TASMANIA^ LICHENS. 



A rmmber of specimens were collected subsequently by 

 Cbaiies Stuart for Dr. Ferdinand Miieller, of Melbourne, now 

 Baron Yon Mueller, and were transmitted by him to Dr. 

 Hampe, of Germany, in 1850, who published the names and 

 descriptions of 34 in Schleehtendal's Linnsea for 1852, p. 709, 

 etc., under the title of Plantae MuellerianEe. Another small 

 collection was forwarded long after by Dr. Miieller to Dr. 

 Krempelhuber, of Germany, who published his determina* 

 tions of 37 species in Den Verhandluugen des Kaiserlich- 

 Koniglichen Zoologisch-botanischen Gessellschafft in Wien, 

 1880, p. 329, etc. These last have been revised by Prof. Jeau 

 Miiller, of Geneva, in the Ratisbon Flora, 1887, No. 8. 



The lichens determined by Hampe and Krempelhuber are 

 enumerated in the supplements to the 11th volume of the 

 Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiensis. 



Dr. William Nylander, in his synopsis Methodica Lichenum, 

 1858-1860, describes several Tasmanian lichens not men- 

 tioned by others. 



Twenty-two species, determined by Prof. J. Miiller, are 

 enumerated by Baron Yon Mueller in the Yictorian Natu- 

 rahst, October, 1887, p. 89. 



6. Herbaria of Tasmanian Lichens are not deposited, 

 so far as I am aware, in any public institution in the colony 

 to which students could refer. I believe that Brown's 

 collection is in the British Museum, Hooker's in the Kew 

 Museum, in England, Nylander's in the Paris Museum, 

 Hamp)e's among his Lichenes Exsiccati, and Krempelhuber's 

 in his herbarium at Blankenberg. A few Tasmanian 

 specimens will be found also in the Botanical Museum in 

 Melbourne. 



There are several collections in private hands. Mr. 

 Augustus Simson, of Launceston, and Mr. W. A. Weymouth, 

 of Hobart, to both of whom 1 was kindly introduced by Mr. 

 A. Morton, Sec. E.S., T., have made collections of Tasmanian 

 lichens, and generously allowed me to select any sj^ecimens^ 

 from their herbaria, Mr. R. A. Bastow, formerly of Hobai-t, 

 now of Melbourne, made a considerable collection with the 

 intention of following up his able descriptions of the Mosses 

 and Hepaticas of Tasmania in the Proceedings of the Royal 

 Society of Tasmania, by describing the lichens of the island. 

 It is to be regretted that he is unable to continue his valuable 

 work. In a most generous manner he handed over to me his 

 whole collection, that I might make such use of it as I thought 

 fit. And having myself made a large collection during a late 

 visit to Tasmania, I possess a somewhat extensive herbarium 

 of Tasmanian lichens. I have consulted the lichen herbarium 

 in the Botanical Museum in Melbourne as well as my own in 

 the drawing up of this paper, and also the literature specified
