FAUNA AND FLORA OF NORFOLK. 
Lichens of Norfolk and Suffolk. .

Read 2 8th February, 1905. 
For some years past I have endeavoured to bring together 
all that is known of the Cryptogams occurring in these two 
counties, that thus there may be the means of a more complete 
enumeration at some future time should any one think it 
worth while to take up the subject. 
At the beginning of the last century there were a good 
number of Botanists residing in Norfolk and Suffolk who 
assiduously collected these plants, among them the best known 
were Mr. Dawson Turner, Sir James E. Smith, and Sir William 
Hooker, all residing in Norfolk. Before this time, however, 
many Cryptogams had been observed by Sir John Cullum of 
Hawstead, near Bury, and recorded by him in his journal, 
which, however, I have not seen and hence cannot quote. 
There were afterwards several good botanists residing in 
Suffolk, as the Rev. G. R. Leathes, Sir Thomas Gage, Mr* 
Woodward, etc. Many of their observations are published in 
English Botany, The Botanist’s Guide, etc. Mr. F. K. Eagle, 
of Bury, also diligently collected Mosses andJLichens, princi- 
pally in Suffolk. His collection is incorporated with that of 
Sir C. Bunbury, who was also a collector, and whose Herbarium 
is now in the University Botanical Museum at Cambridge.
