534 DR. LINDSAY ON NEW-ZEALAND LICHENS. 
On the Greenisland coast, Otago, small balls of zoophytes* are very common, which are 
evidently so far the produce of, and roll freely before, the wind, just as do the spherical 
masses of the forms erratica of C. degenerans and P. levigata, above alluded to. 
Sp. 5. C. FIMBRIATA, Hffm. [Linds. Spermog. 156. | 
On trunks of dead trees, East Taeri bush, Otago: W. L. L.: sterile. North Island 
(Dr. Joliffe) : in herbarium Kew: on ground, sterile. 
Var. cornuta, Nyl., Mercury Bay (Dr. Joliffe, 1852), on moist ground, and other 
North-Island specimens in herbarium Kew, are (at least partly) referable to the cornuta 
form of C. gracilis. 
Var. radiata, Nyl. On dry hills, North Island (Dr. J oliffe), in fruit, in herbarium 
Kew, is referable, I think, to C. pyzidata, from which, indeed, I do not think C. fim- 
briata can be properly dissociated as a species. 
C. pyxidata, L. [Linds. Spermog. 155], occurs in my Dunedin herbarium : sterile; on 
ground about base of Saddle-hill: quite the common British plant. 
Sp. 6. C. amavrocra@a, Sch. [Linds. Spermog. 166, plate vii. f. 32-4. ] 
Var. capitellata, Bab. [L. N. Z. 32, plate cxxx. B; Linds. Spermog. 160, plate vii. 
fig. 32; sub nom. Cenomyce capillata, Tayl., in ‘London J ournal of Botany: specific 
name by misprint probably. | 
North-Island specimens, in herbarium Kew, from Colenso, have greatly the characters 
of certain forms of C. furcata, possessing, however, the beautiful colour of C. amaurocnm™, 
with sometimes a bluish tint at the bottom of the older podetia. The plant is of some 
what lax habit; the podetia straight, simple, or not much branched; cortical layer 
sometimes eroded in patches, exposing the brown medullary tissue, giving à brown- 
mottled character to the podetia; old apothecia sometimes perforate. 
The Hookerian herbarium, Kew, contains also the three following New-Zealand 
Oladonie :— 
Sp. 7. C. FURCATA, Hffm. [Linds. Spermog. 166. | 
North Island (Colenso and Joliffe): spermogoniferous. A very delicate form, with 
very white, minutely scale-covered podetia. 
Sp. 8. C. squamosa, Fr. [Linds. Spermog. 159.] 
Mangrove River, Mercury Bay, on dry hills (Dr. Joliffe, 1852): in fruit and spermos’ 
niferous. 
Sp. 9. C. Gractiis, Fr., var. verticillata, Sch. [Linds. Spermog. 159.] 
North Island (Dr. Hooker, Antarctic Expedition). Associated with C. aggre9 o 
Var. cervicornis, Ach. North Island (Dr. Hooker, Antarctic Expedition) : " 
which is quite that of C. pyzidata. 
Sp. 10. C. macrLenTA, Hffm. [C. filiformis, Relh., Linds. Spermog. 163.] 
On mud, Oha Creek, Kaipara (Mossman). Occurs in the University of 
herbarium, in fruit.

Dr. M’Intosh tells me these consist of species of Laomedea, and that similar masses of similar constitutio 
: of greater size, are to be found on the east coast of Scotland (e. g. St. Andrews).
