An 
NOTES ON THE LICHENS IN SOWERBY’S HERBARIUM. 
By tue Rev. J. M. Cromsie. M.A., F.L.S., AND G.S. 
No. II. Stictina— Gyrophora. 
With one or two exceptions, all the specimens of Séictei which are 
drawn in E. B. occur in herb. Sowerby in a more or less perfect con- 
dition. They all, whether complete or fragmentary, sufficiently corre- 
pond with the 
any individual species. ew general notes, however, upon one or two 
of the specimens, may not be unacceptable to the Lichenologist. — Lichen 
sylvaticus, E. B. t. 2298. Of this there is only a small specimen in the 
herb., and that figured i is probably exotic, the smaller fig. with the apothecia 
being evidently copied from Hffm. Pl. Lich. t. 4, f. 2. The shields, said 
to have been found in Seotland by Dr. [eden are here, as by the 
older writers, represented as being marginal and vertical, instead of being 
scattered over the thallus.— Lichen auratus, E. B. t t. 2359. The speci- 
men figured, which does not occur in herb. Sowerby, i is said to have been 
communicated from the remains of Hudson’s herb., but t judging from its 
size and colouring, as compared with rui British specimens, it was 
in all probability exotie, and not gathered in Devonshire, as supposed. 
In herb. Sowerby there also occurs a dni of Sí. Thowarsii from 
e along with S£. crocata from Scotland, both originally upon the 
same

with K., viz., yellow and then red, both of which en are manag 
in the specimen figured in E. B. It is extremely n Britain, having 
apparently been gathered only at HEE (Taylor), Ael (Ralfs), 
and Appin (Cro ombie). From the fi these localities a fruited 
specimen occurs in herb. Brit. Mus., ak only with young apothecia, 
which are consequently without the perforations which are so charac- 
teristic of this species elsewhere. Specimens from the other localities 
ht. : 
Mus., are referable only to the above var. of P. perlata, which is not 
uncommon in the south of England, especially in Sussex, where in E. B. 
Lichen perforatus is said to be c common.
