NOTES ON LICHENS IN NEW SOUTH W.aLES, 



P. phi/socles, P. placorhpdioides, P. olivaceeo, P. peitusa, and P. 

 angustata, all of which are so common in Victoria. I was 

 struck with the greater frequency and more developed state of P. 

 sph&rophora Knight (not Nylander's splwrophora, but a form of 

 Nylander's limbata). The species P. perforata, P. pe~lata, P. 

 caperata, P. tenuirima (synon (?) reparata Stirton), and P. 

 ulophjjlla, are nearly equally common in both countries, but more 

 luxuriant in Victoria. The Ph/sa'ce are much the same in both 

 fields, although their colours are rather different, especially P. 

 stcllaris, which, to my pnrprise, was greener in New South Wales. 

 I found P. speciosa, about as common, and one species which is new 

 tome. One Psoroma and three Pannarice were obtained. Lecanora 

 atra and L. pare! 1 1 were not unfrcquent. L. punicea was found 

 abundantly. Two Ptrtusarice were found common enough, 

 apparently identical with common sorts in Victoria. 1 secured a 

 good many specimens of Biatora Domingensis, which I never could 

 find in Victoria, except om e doubtfully in East Gippsland. Also 

 B. entodiaphana, common in Victoria ; rather poor specimens of 

 Blastema coccinea, discovered by me in Victoria, and named for me 

 by Dr. Knight ; a number of Lecidea*, two Thelotramata, apparently 

 idf ntical with Victorian species, Platijgrapha albo-vesfita, which I 

 have found also in East Gippsland, a number of Opegraplue, 

 Graphides, Arthonice, one Chiodectort, evidently identical with a 

 species from East Gippsland, a good many Verrucariw, and a 

 Trypethelium, which I found also in Gippsland, and which Dr. 

 Knight 1ms named for me fum'>so-cinereum. 



For the guidance of collectors I subjoin a list of Ne.v South 

 Wales lichens, complete to date, with the authorities for their 

 occurrence in this Held. I mention every record of each Lichen as 

 far as I have been able to ascertain it. Students of lichenolo »y 

 will appreciate the value of such a compilation.
