SoLORINA SACCATA, Ach. 



Limestone rocks among mosses. Helderberg Mountains. 



Peltigera aphthosa, Hoffm. 



Shaded mossy banks, ground and old logs in woods. Extremely 

 common, and easily known by the wart like spots on the th alius. 



Peltigera canina, Hoffm,. 



Ground, rocks and old logs in woods. Yery common. A small 

 form occurs on the dry, sandy barrens between Albany and Sche- 

 nectady. 



Peltigera polydactyla, Hoffm. 



Rocks and old logs in woods, especially in mountainous districts. 

 Not rare. 



Peltigera horizontals, Hoffm.

 lake, Helderberg and Catskill Mountains. 



A large form with crisped margins and under surface uniformly, 

 dark brown, except toward the margin, which is whitish, occurs in 

 mountain swamps. Summit Lake. 



Sticta pulmonaria, Ach. 



Trunks of deciduous trees and on rocks. Fertile specimens have 

 been seen by me only on trees in the woods of the Catskill and the 

 Adirondack Mountains. In the former locality specimens were 

 found with a curiously morbid state of the apothecia. These were 

 scattered abundantly over the upper surface of the thallus and 

 sparingly over the under surface, and had a black disk. 



The Lungwort lichen once was held in considerable repute as a 

 remedy in pulmonary complaints, and is used to some extent at the 

 present time. It is also said to have been used as food. 



Sticta glome rulifera, Delise. 



Trunks of deciduous trees, sometimes on rocks. Yery common 

 in woods, and fruits abundantly. 



Sticta querctzans, Ach. 



Granite rocks. Sandlake. Sterile.
