190 DR LAUDER LINDSAY ON THE SPERMOGONES AND PYCNIDES 
Specimen 8.—Disco Island, Dr Lyatt, 1854; in Herb. Hooker, Kew; has both 
apothecia and spermogones. 
Specimen 9.—LEIGHTON exs. 95 (sub U. varia var. proboscidea, a. LEIGHT.), 
Clova; with apothecia. The spermogones are black cones, pretty well seen on 
the grayish thallus. 
Specomen 10.—ScuzZRER exs. 143 (sub U. polymorpha, a. cylindrica, A: Syn. 
Lichen crinitus, LiguTFooT); onthe Grimsel, Switzerland. The spermogones are 
submarginal, distinct, black cones or papille. 
Species 11. U. vellea, L., Fr., 
Which occurs in Europe, Abyssinia, the Canary Islands, and America. The thallus 
is usually pale in colour; hence the spermogones are easily seen. It properly, I 
think, ought to include the following species, U. hirsuta. 
Specimen 1.—Sierra de Estrella, Portugal, WeLwirzscu, ‘“ Crypt. Lusit.,” Nos. 
108 and 120. The spermogones are abundant, as small, black points, which are 
the ostioles of wholly immersed spermogones. The spermatia are about smth long, 
and sath broad; the arthrosterigmata have the same character as in all the pre- 

ceding species. 
Specimen 2,—Luz, Pyrenees, Spruce’s “ Lich. Pyrenzi.” The spermogones 
are largish black papillee, scattered about the margins of the thallus, surrounded 
by a pale thalline ring. This and the preceding specimen are in Herb. Hooker, 
Kew. 
SPECIES 12. U. hirsuta, DC., 
Which is found equally in Europe, America, and Asia. If it is not a form of the 
preceding, it is very closely allied. (cide ScuaRer exs. 137-40. Movuceor and 
Nester, 344 and 1144.) 
Specimen 1.—Hepp. exs. 117 (sub Gyrophora) ; on granitic rocks, St Moritz ; 
on upper and right-hand specimen in my copy; with apothecia. Spermogones are 
abundant about the periphery of the thallus, which is copper-coloured; they are 
large, distinct, elevated cones of the same colour as the thallus, except the ostiole, 
which is black, and round, or irregularly stellate-fissured. The body of the sper- 
mogone is easily enucleated, leaving an irregular saucer-like cavity. 
Specimen 2.—ScHARER exs. 137, sub U. depressa a. hirsuta, Son.; on granitic 
rocks, Alps of Switzerland. Spermogones abound about the margins of the thallus 
as small, obscure blackish cones, closely grouped. They occur also in ScH#ReEr’s 
exs. 138 (sub C. vulgaris), very indistinct; in 139 (sub D. abortiva), deformed and 
old; in 140 (sub /. rupia), large, distinct, and grouped.
