In reference to Pilophovon Colensot, it has hitherto been referred 
to Steveocaulon by Nylander, Fries, Babington, and others. Its 
simple spores, now first described, determine the true relation of 
Colenso’s plant. Professor Fries in his ‘‘ Monographia” considers 
it probable that it is a form of Steveocaulon argus; while Dr. Nylander 
was inclined to divide the genus Steveocaulon, and place this interest- 
ing lichen under a new genus—Corynophoron. Relegated to Palo- 
phovon, it establishes another link of continuity between Oladoma 
and Steveocaulon. 
Dr. Knight finds that Myviangium Dun@i has no true thallus, 
but a mere cellular torus (devoid of gonidia), which rapidly loses 
all trace of structure by carbonisation.

The following is an abstract of the Annual Report :— 
The Society held ten general meetings and a conversazione, 
the average attendance being larger than usual. At these 
40 papers were read, viz.: 6 on geology, 6 on zoology, 13 on 
botany, 2 on chemistry, and 13 on miscellaneous subjects. There
