LICHENES. 9 
ACAROSPORA CHLOROPHANA. 
Acarospora chlorophana (Wunbg.) Mass. Th. Fries, Lich. Scand., p. 208. 
Localities.—“ From one of islets in ‘old ice,’ middle of strait (McMurdo). 
Collected by Dr. Wilson, December 10th (circa), 1903,” on felspar porphyry. Granite 
Harbour, McMurdo Bay, January 20th, 1902, on basic scoriaceous lava. 
Notes.—This is an arctic and alpine plant not previously recorded from the 
Antarctic. 
ENDOCARPON. 
LEndocarpon sp. 
Locality.—Granite Harbour, McMurdo. Bay, January 20th, 1902, on felspar 
porphyry. 
Notes.—A small fragment only of some species of Endocarpon was found on the 
same stone as the apothecia of Lecidea auriculata. Sections were cut of the few 
perithecia present, but they were old and contained no spores. Thus it was possible 
to determine only the generic name. 
With regard to the specimens which were impossible of determination, the 
following remarks may be made. A bit of dark scoriaceous lava and a bit of dark 
basic agglomerate from “Cape Royds, alt. 1500 feet on Mount Erebus, January 11th, 
1904, H. T. F.,” both had lichens on them. But they were very simple in structure 
and also sterile, so that I was quite unable to name them. The alcohol-material from 
the same locality was, as already mentioned, quite useless. 
There was a minute yellow lichen on some small bits of dark basic scoriaceous 
lava from ‘“‘ Winter Quarters,” January 13th, 1903, which was not determinable. 
Some felspar porphyry from Granite Harbour (?) has on it a lichen with 
incomplete apothecia, but with soralia here and there. 
Some granite from Granite Harbour had on it a species of Lecidea (spores 
‘006—'007 by *004—*005 mm.), which was in too incomplete a condition to name. 
From Winter Harbour (December 15th, 1903), we have a quantity of moss on 
soil. On the moss are found specimens of Lecanora epibryon and L. expectans, 
Rinodina turfacea, and a yellow species which turns red on the application of potash. 
It is sterile and may belong to some reduced form of Placodium, but I have not been 
able to place it satisfactorily. It is not unlike “Arnold exsic. no. 1615, Physcia 
cirrhochroa Ach., thallus leprosus.” The plant seems to be very common; but I have 
been unable, even after careful searching, to find any apothecia.
