LICHENS. 



This family seems to be more neglected than any other, and we 

 believe that the chief reason is because there are few of this group 

 of plants to be found near our large smoky towns, where most of our 

 botanists reside. There is plenty of good work to be yet done in 

 Yorkshire, in this family, therefore let us hope that something may 

 be d me this year by those members who may have opportunity.
