 (PI. l,f. 3.) 



14. C. deformis (L.) Hoffm. Common, and sometimes in large, robust and 



conspicuous colonies, throughout the north woods, received from all 

 of the collectors named, and reported by Allen and Dodge at several 

 places in the mountains of Gaspe, where this writer found it frequent, 

 especially along tote roads in Matane township. 



15. C. cristatella Tuck. This common scarlet fruited Cladonia, endemic to 



North America, extends into the north woods and climbs to 4,000 feet 

 or more. It was included, from stations 1500 to 4000 feet, in the collec- 

 tions of all of the contributors named, and is reported by Allen and 

 Dodge at high altitudes in the mountains of Gaspe. The writer found the 

 smooth form,/. Beauvoisii, in larger size than any seen in the club range, 

 making a strikingly handsome plant, along old tote roads near the 

 Federal Mine and Lake Ste. Anne, in the Gaspe National Forest. Allen 

 and Dodge report /. vestita in Gaspe, and it occurred in most of the 

 specimens received from the writer's friends from northern stations. 

 Allen reported the brown fruited /. ochrocarpa on the Cap Chat River, 

 and Dodge found the densely branching/, ramosa on the Logan Range. 



16. C. incrassata Floerke. Received from Vreeland, South Pond, Adirondacks, 



about 1800 feet, but not from other collectors, nor found by writer north- 

 ward. Dr. Evans has no specimens from north of Massachusetts. Fink 

 reported it near Mankato, southern Minnesota (as C. cristatella paliidi- 

 cola, an older name). In the club range it is most plentiful in the New 

 Jersey Pine Barren swamps and on Long Island, with one station on 

 Wawayanda Mountain, 50 miles inland. Search should be made for it 

 in usual stations on rotten wood in swampy forests, northward, perhaps 

 not far from coast, to endeavor to extend its range. 



17. C. uncialis Floerke. Received from Vreeland, Blue Mountain, Adiron- 



dacks; Avery, Chairback Mountain, Maine; found by writer on Mount 

 Monadnock, N. H.; mostly near/, dicraea, the form of exposed places 

 in the club range; this form reported by Dodge on the Logan Range in 

 Gaspe. Probably not rare in north. 



18. C. caroliniana (Schwein) Tuck. Received from Joslin, Vermont; found by 



Merrill, near Rockland, Me.; not reported by Allen or Dodge, nor seen 

 by writer, in Gaspe; Tuckerman reports it "throughout North Amer- 

 ica," including Newfoundland and the Arctic regions, as well as far 

 south. Its prevalence in the club range in the sandy regions on Long Is- 

 land and in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey suggests it might be looked 

 for in similar regions in southern or central Maine, or Nova Scotia. 



19. C. Boryi Tuck. Merrill found this at Rockport, Maine; and Dr. Evans 



has received it from Parlin, Hartford, Maine. Tuckerman reported it 

 from the White Mountains, Newfoundland and Labrador. Its ample 

 and robust occurrences on Montauk Point, Long Island, in our club 

 range, suggest it may be looked for in similar places northward along 

 or not far from the coast. 



20. C. amaurocraea (Floerke) Schaer. This arctic-alpine species ranges from
