Cladoniae of the North Woods 

 Raymond II. Torre? 



This paper is an extension of an earlier article. "Cladoniae of 

 the Range of the Torrey Botanical Club," published in the 

 September-October, 1933 number of Torreya. It covers species 

 found by the writer, or received from friends who kindly 

 volunteered to collect them, in the Adirondacks, Vermont, New 

 Hampshire, Maine, and Gaspe, in eastern Quebec. It also in- 

 cludes some species listed in books and papers which will be 

 cited, but which were not seen nor received by the writer, but 

 are listed to suggest that they be looked for in favorable loca- 

 tions in the region here covered. 



This paper includes many of the species, described in the 

 earlier paper, which extend their ranges into the more northern 

 regions here covered, but, since they were described, and in 

 many cases pictured, in the earlier paper, they are noted in less 

 detail here, in order to save space for a more complete record 

 of species that may be sought in the North Woods. Readers 

 are referred to the key and habitat notes of the earlier paper, 

 and to the authorities there cited for more detailed descriptions. 



The three plates at the end of this paper are devoted largely 

 to North Woods species, except a few, where the strikingly 

 robust character of species common to both regions, but larger 

 in the north, seemed to warrant inclusion in the illustrations. 



This paper is intended, like the earlier one, as the contribution 

 of an amateur student of lichens to beginners like himself, and 

 may perhaps be of particular use to nature councillors in sum- 

 mer camps in the North Woods, who may include lichens in 

 their educational work, under the stimulus of recent papers on 

 Cladoniae, by experts, in botanical journals, which have 

 aroused new interest among amateur botanists in this hitherto 

 relatively neglected class of plants. Teachers, students, walkers
