The Lichens 
of the 
Swedish Antarctic Expedition 
by 
OTTO VERNON DABRBISHIRE. 
Introduction. 
The following is a report on the lichens brought back by the Swedish Ant- 
arctic Expedition which left Göteborg in IgoI and returned in 1904. On June 5th 
1905 Dr. SKOTTSBERG offered me the opportunity of working through this material 
for the collection of which he was mainly responsible and I gladly accepted this 
offer. Owing to circumstances over which I had no control however the completion 
of the report of these plants has been delayed till the present date. 
The lichen material brought back was found to be in an excellent state of pre- 
servation. The specimens were well collected and after careful drying were packed 
in paper and put by in small boxes. Not a single specimen was found to have 
suffered from mould. The following list will give some idea of the quantity of 
material brought back; —
