11. Lecanora babingtonii, Mass. 
Thallus tenuis albo-cinereus granulosus v. minutissime squamulosus, 
squamulis arcte adpressis. Apothecia rosea v. luteo-coccinea (diam. 1:5 v. 
minora) marginata, margine granulato tandem flexuoso, excipulo thallino 
albido v. dilutissime colorato gonidia continente, excipulo proprio fibrato 
supra evanescente, paraphysibus non bene discretis apice minute granulosis 
non dilatis. Spore in ascis saccatis subarcuate v. leviter curvate aciculari- 
fusiformes 5-septate, longit. 035, crassit. ‘004 mm. 
Ad cortices. 
Probably Babington’s L. punicea, Ach. (Flora N.Z., p. 292). Comparing 
our lichen with Leighton's L. punicea (Ceylon Lichens, No. 62), it is seen 
that the thallus of the latter is fusco-cinereous, while the spores are ‘(07 mm. 
in length, and the septze from 7-15 in number (v. fig. No. 11, b.), and these 
measurements agree with Nylander's figure, v. Nylander's Lichenes Novo- 
Granatenses, p. 82, fig. 7, tab. 1, reproduced here to the same scale as all 
the other figures are drawn, v. fig. No. 11, c. 
19. Bacidia subscripta, Kn. 
Thallus sordide cineraseens v. sordide cinereo-albidus tenuis continuus 
v. minute areolatus v. fissus indeterminatus. Apothecia superficialia atro- 
fuscescentia nuda plana v. concava marginata (diam. 1 mm.)—raro in 
juniore pallide fusca—margine concolore tenui, excipulo dilute fuscescente & 
lateribus v. a basi et lateribus per lineam tenuem fuscam contento, strato 
subhymeniale e pseudo-gonidiis liberis sphericis incoloratis—aliis minutis 
aliis sat grandibus—formato, paraphysibus brevibus suberassis adglutinatis 
grumosis. Spore in ascis clavatis fusiformi-aciculares subspiraliter con- 
torte v. in arcum curvate 3-7 septate v. simplices (septis invisis ?), longit. 
04, crassit. -0035 mm. 
Ad cortices arborum. 
18. Bacidia glomerulosa, Kn. — 
Thallus sordide ochraceo-cinerascens byssaceo-pulverulens ubique dif- 
fractus v. dehiscens granulas gonimas virides in nodulis magnis receptas 
continens. Apothecia adnata v. innata (diam. 0:5 mm.) atro-fusca, margine 
evanido, exeipulo dilute colorato, hymenio fusco, paraphysibus gracilibus 
non bene discretis apicibus fuscis. Spore recte aciculares 8—7 septate, 
longit. ‘035, crassit. 0025 mm. 
Ad cortices arborum. 
14. Bacidia eucoccodes, Kn. 
Thallus einereo-viridescens granulosus v. mierophyllino-granulosus effu- 
sus granulas gonimas virides in nodulis receptas continens. Apothecia 
innata v. adnata fusco-atra plana v. convexa marginata (diam. 1:9 mm.), 
margine concolore obseuro demum tenui, excipulo dilutissime colorato ab
