The Gladoniae of New Jersey — Second Supplement^ 



Alexander W. Evans 



The writer's report on the Cladoniae of New Jersey (25)' was 

 pubhshed in 1935 and recorded the results of exploration down to 

 the close of 1934. This report was followed tliree years later by a 

 supplement (33), which brought the record dowai to the close 

 of 1937. The stations listed in the supplement were based largely 

 on the careful collections made by Mr. Raymond H. Torrey, 

 who gathered ample material in various parts of the state. 



Since the death of Mr. Torrey in July, 1938, the exploration for 

 Cladoniae in New Jersey has been continued with most interesting 

 results by Mr. G. G. Nearing of Ridgewood, who is well known 

 to readers of Torreya for his various articles on lichens. Mr. Near- 

 ing has not only made new discoveries in some of the localities 

 visited b}^ Mr. Torrey and others but has also collected in many 

 additional localities. xA-S a result our knowledge of local distribu- 

 tion within the state has been greatly increased, and certain species 

 have proved to be more abundant and more widely distributed than 

 the earlier reports indicated. The present supplement, which brings 

 the record down to the close of 1939, is based very largely on 

 Mr. Nearing's collections but includes a number of additional re- 

 ports from speciments collected by Mr. W. L. Dix, Mrs. C. A. 

 Dunham, Dr. J. A. Small, Dr. J. W. Thomson, and other botanists, 

 most of whom are mentioned in the writer's report or first supple- 

 ment. 



During the past two years Dr. Heinrich Sandstede has published 

 a supplement (34) to Vainio's Monographia Cladoniarum univer- 

 salis (22) and two articles in Hannig and Winkler's Pflanzenareale 

 on the distribution of the Cladoniae throughout the world (35, 36). 

 In each of these important works references to New Jersey speci- 

 ■^ Contribution from the Osborn Botanical Laboratory. 



- Numbers in bold-face type refer to the titles given in the original report 

 and first supplement and to the additional titles listed at the close of the second 

 supplement.
