no record of the first appearance of Dr. Kennedy on the scene, but he 

 visited and summered at Willoughby many seasons, making many 

 notable discoveries and at last recording them for us. 



FOUR NEW LICHENS 



% 



D. Lewis Button 



About 10 years ago I collected several species of lichens in the 

 town of Hancock, but I did not have them identified until compara- 

 tively recently when G. K, Merrill named one Lecidea parasemoides 

 sp. nov. and commented, "Seems to be a novelty." The specimens 

 grew on a sugar maple tree among spruces and were about four feet 

 from the ground. 



In 1920, while collecting near Lake Dunmore, in Leicester, I 

 secured on shaded rocks a thin crustaceous formation of a grayish, 

 brown color, the fruit appearing as small black dots. Mr. Merrill 

 named this Bacidia Duttonii sp. nov. 



The following year on the edges of Lyon hill, Brandon, the writer 

 collected a plant resembling Leoidea Russellii Tuck, but Mr. Merrill 

 called it Lecidea (Psoi'a) palidella sp. nov. On a rock in a pasture 

 nearby I secured a large Caloplaca which Mr. Merrill decided was also 

 a new species, naming it Caloplaca ohliterascens sp. nov. 



EYEBRIGHT IN VERMONT 



Francis H. Sargent 



During the summer of 1922, the writer found growing abundantly 

 on hillside pastures in parts of Enosburg, Montgomery and Richford 

 a small plant which I decided was one of the eyebrights and speci- 

 mens were later identified for me as Euphrasia canadensis Townsend. 

 As far as I can learn no species of Euphrasia has heretofore been re- 

 ported for Vermont. 



Another plant not listed in the Vermont Flora, which I collected 

 in 1922, was Lysimachia punctata L. It is common as a dooryard 

 escape in Franklin.
