CATALOGUE OF ME. N. J. WINCh's LICHENS. 325 



248-249. Endocabpon mFK^owES^Verrucaria fmceUa (Turn.) 

 Two specimens, near Gainforcl, Durham. 



250. Verruca/ria muralis (Acli.) From Jesmond, Northumber- 



land. 



251. Ferriicari'a conoidea (Fr.) No name, but from Castle Eden 



Dene. 



252. Lecidea immeesa = Verrucaria immersa (Leight.) No 



locality, but "common." 



253. Lecidea immeesa = Verrucaria incavata (Nyl.) Teesdale. 



I failed to detect any spores in this specimen. 



254. Y'E'RTSxjcKRiyjATnrskz^ Verrucaria umlrina {Whlnh.) No 



locality. The spores of this species are large and dis- 

 tinct ; some are fuscous, but not all, and with age the 

 muralocular cellules burst out, and appear like so many 

 small globular one-septate spores. 



On the occurrence of Caralus glahratus^ Fab., in the County of 

 Northumherland. — In the midsummer of 1860 I collected a fine 

 specimen of this species in the bed of the Blackburn, a small 

 mountain stream that descends from the elevated moorlands to 

 the south of the Stublick Dyke and the Hartley burn Coal-field. 

 "We had sought shelter in the burn for our mid-day meal, which 

 was no sooner spread out than it was attacked by a Carahus, 

 whose large size attracted attention, and led to its immediate 

 capture. It proved to be a rare species, and the first taken in 

 the south of the county of Northumberland, 



In the "Whitsuntide week of 1887, while walking over the 

 moors at the head of the Wansbeck, near where that stream is 

 only a foot or two wide, we saw a large Caralus walking slowly 

 and with some difficulty over a large patch of moss. As it was 

 an unusual place to meet with so large a beetle he was secured, 

 and turned out to be another specimen of Caralus glalratus. 



From these accidental captures it cannot be doubted, I think, 

 that this species is more commonly distributed in our moorland 

 districts than we have hitherto thought, — Richard Sowse.
