304 BOTANICAL GAZETTE [OCTOBER 
have had an opportunity to examine the specimens upon which this record was 
based. One sheet is S. pileatum Ach.; the other, depauperate specimens of 
Cladonia decorticata (Flke.) Spreng. The species is known, therefore, only from 
the type collections. 
Stereocaulon jun (Sw.) Ach. 
In the herbarium of the Geological Survey of Canada is a sheet bearing 
three specimens of this species with the label: ‘Lichenes Boreali Americani. 
No. 89. Dalles, Oregon, on the earth. Legi John W. Eckfeldt. 1880.” 
As no corresponding specimens are to be found in Dr. Eckretpt’s herbarium 
at the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences, and as S. ramulosum is not otherwise 
known from the United States, there has undoubtedly been some ipisiane in 
the labeling of the specimens mentioned above.
