dant in New Jersey than the published records mighl seem to 



indicate (3, p. 373). Most, if not all, of the New Jersey speci- 

 mens bearing the name C. rangiferina in the Austin and Tin k- 

 erman collections represent C. tenuis, and no New Jersey spe< i 

 mens are present in the Kckfeldt collection. Torrey reports the 

 species from the "Highlands" of New Jersey (18, p. 120), and 

 Thompson lists it from the Wawayanda cedar swamp 1 14, p. 

 22). The New Jersey specimens seen by the writer are listed 

 below, some of them as distinct forms. BURLINGTON: New 

 Gretna (Musch, 1928, det. Robbins). Ocean: Point Pleasant 

 (Plitt, 1907, F.) and Wrangel Brook (Torrey, 1934). Sussex: 

 Wawayanda Mountain, Vernon {Torrey, 1933). 



la.* CLADONIA RANGIFERINA f. crispata Coem. (4, p. 377). 

 Passaic: near Hewitt (Dillman, 1934). 



lb.* Cladonia rangiferina f. stygia Fr. Sched. Crit. Lich. 

 Suec. Exsic. 22. 1826. Warren: among boulders on shore of 

 Sunfish Pond, Kittatiny Mountain (Torrey, 1933, det. Sand- 

 stede) ; apparently the first record for North America. Accord- 

 ing to Sandstede this form grows in localities that are sometimes 

 under water. The plants, in consequence, become blackened 

 and more or less verruculose in the older parts. 



lc* Cladonia rangiferina f. prolifera Flot. (4, p. 377). 

 Passaic: near Hewitt (Dillman, 1934). 



2. Cladonia sylvatica (L.) Hoffm. (4, p. 378). On earth 

 in fields and open woods. Burlington: Batsto (1932) and West 

 Plains (Lutz, 1932, see 8, p. 12). Camden: Atco (Eckfeldt, 1882, 

 F., P., listed in 3, p. 373, as C. rangiferina var. sylvatica). 

 Ocean: near Forked River (Dillman, 1933, det. Sandstede), 

 Lakehurst (Torrey, 1934, det. Sandstede), Simplace (Killip, 

 1930), Davenport Branch of Tom's River (Dillman, 1934). Pas- 

 saic: Skylands (Britton, 1917, N. Y., det. Riddle). Warren: 

 near Millbrook (Torrey, 1934). Austin's record for C. sylvatica 

 (2, p. 164), under the name C. rangiferina var. sylvatica, was 

 based on material of C. tenuis. 



2a. Cladonia sylvatica f. pygmaea Sandst. (4, p. 381). 

 Burlington: New Gretna (Musch, 1928, det. Robbins) and 

 West Plains {Lutz, 1928, det. Sandstede, see 8, p. 12). Ocean-
