England, N. Wales; more general among the Grampians, Scotland; rare 
in K, Ireland.—B. M.: Near South Brent, Devonshire ; Penzance, Corn- 
wall; Cader Idris, Dolgelly, Cwm Bychan, and Barmouth, Merioneth- 
shire; Oswestry, Shropshire; Teesdale, Durham. Head of Loch Awe,

Var. 6. determinata Cromb. Grevillea, xviii. (1889) p. 44.— 
Thallus microphylline, paler, livid, crenato-lobate. Apothecia small, 
the margin yellow-testaceous; spores determinately 1-septate, 
brownish, 0,026-36 mm. long, 0,007-8 mm. thick.—Pannaria car- 
nosa var. determinata Leight. Lich. Fl. p. 169, ed. 3, p. 156. Pan- 
naria muscorum var. determinata Ny]. Scand. (1861) p. 128 ; Cromb. 
Lich. Brit. p. 43. 
Differs in the less developed thallus (resulting poy from the hab- 
itat) and in the regularly septate, larger, brownish spores, which ‘some- 
times present several spurious septa. 
Hab. On moist soil in upland districts.—Distr. Apparently very local 
and rare in N.E. Ireland.—B. M.: Carnlough, co. Antrim. 
8. P. delicatula Nyl. ev Cromb. Journ. Bot. 1882, p. 274,— 
Thallus thin, adnate, minutely granuloso-crustaceous, brown. Apo- 
thecia biatorine, small, somewhat convex, immarginate, brownish- 
black (reddish when moist); spores fusiformi-vermicular, straight 
or substraight, 7—9-septate, 0,040-76 mm. long, 0,005-7 mm. thick ; 
paraphyses yellowish-brown at the clavate apices, bypothecium 
colourless ; hymenial gelatine (and the thece) bluish with iodine.—

A minute but very distinct species, weJl characterized by the peculiar 
spores. The thallus is more or less adnate, closely appressed to the sub- 
stratum, and scarcely visible except in wet weather. The apothecia, 
which, though small, are large in proportion to the size of the granules, 
are either scattered or crowded, and when moistened are of a bright wine- 
red colour. Originally included by Th. M. Fries among the Collemacei, it 
is entirely seforabla to this genus. 
Hab. On decayed mosses in alpine situations.—Distr. Extremely local 
and scarce among the 8. Grampians, Scotland, and (fide Nyl. in hit.) on 
the Mts. of N.W. Ireland (Connemara, Galway).—B. M.: Ben Lawers, 
Perthshire. 
58. COCCOCARPIA Pers. in Gaudich. Voy. Uran. (1826) p. 206; 
Nyl. Syn. ii. p. 41.—Thallus monophyllous or submonophyllous, 
lobato- or laciniato-divided at the circumference. Apothecia biato- 
rine, adnate; spores ellipsoid or oblong, simple, small; hymenial 
gelatine variously tinged with iodine. Spermogones with short, 
cylindrical spermatia. 
Intimately allied to Pannaria, but differs in the type of the thallus and
