within the state had progressed down to the close of 1934. 

 Most of the records are based on specimens in the Yale Her- 

 barium. Where this is not the case the place of preservation is 

 indicated as follows: F., Farlow Herbarium, Harvard University 

 (including the Tuckerman collection); N. Y., herbarium of the 

 New York Botanical Garden (including the Austin collection) ; 

 and P., herbarium of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural 

 Sciences (including the Eckfeldt collection). 



Descriptions and the citation of synonymy in the list are 

 reduced to the lowest limits. They are given as a rule only in 

 cases where the species or forms in question have not been 

 treated in the recent American literature. Where they have 

 been treated references are given, so that the necessary data 

 can easily be found. 



In the determination of the New Jersey Cladoniae the writer 

 has received assistance from the late C. A. Robbins, of Onset, 

 Massachusetts, and from Dr. Heinrich Sandstede, of Oldenburg, 

 Germany; and records based on the determinations of these 

 authorities are definitely noted. Specimens marked simply 

 "1932" were collected by the writer in September of that year. 

 These collections were made on an excursion to the Pine Bar- 

 rens, under the guidance of Mrs. Gladys P. Anderson, Mr. and 

 Mrs. W. G. Taylor, and Mr. R. H. Torrey (see Torrey, 16). 

 Species and forms recorded for the first time from New Jersey 

 are marked with asterisks (*), even if they may have been re- 

 ported previously under different names. 



The various collectors mentioned in the list, aside from the 

 writer, are the following: Mrs. Gladys P. Anderson, L. W. 

 Anderson, C. F. Austin, Miss H..F. Biddlecome, S. F. Blake, 

 L. W. Bowen, N. L. Britton, G. F. Dillman, J. W. Eckfeldt, 

 Miss Margaret Fulford, H. A. Green, Mrs. Carolyn W. Harris, 

 E. P. Killip, E. C. and G. M. Leonard, H. L. Lutz, F. A. Musch, 

 C. C. Plitt, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Taylor, R. A. Torrey, and Miss 

 H. A. Walker. It is hoped that the list may encourage further 

 collection of Cladoniae within the state.
