On rocks and over mosses. Common everywhere in the County. 
The plant was long ago submitted to several American lichenists and was 
variously called P. obscura, P. ulothrix, P. setosa and P. speciosa. It is colored 
like P. setosa , sometimes has the exciple ringed with fibrils as in P. ulothrix, but 
never possesses the spreading marginal rhizoids of P. obscura, and in no way 
resembles P. speciosa. It is probably common throughout the Northern States, 
for I have examined it from widely separated localities. New by name to Amer- 
ica. 
Lecanora (Placodium) murorum var. lobulata (Sommerf.) Schaer. Enum. p. 
64, 1850. 
Thallus spreading extensively, forming patches up to 8 cent, in diameter, 
composed of innumerable small thalli running together, the radiant margins 
only here and there visible, rusty orange. Apothecia very numerous, the thallus 
appearing to be composed almost wholly of mature or incipient ones. Spores of 
L. murorum. 
On andesitic lavas, near the tide water, North Haven. 
Not previously reported from the United States.

A COLLECTION OF HEPATICAE FROM NORTH CAROLINA 
A. Leroy Andrews 
In the herbarium of Cornell University is a considerable collection of bryo- 
phytes from North Carolina. The collection was made in 1901 by Prof. G. F. 
Atkinson, who was accompanied during a part of his stay by Prof. E. J. Durand. 
In determining the hepaticae I note so many cases of northern species represent- 
ing an extension southward of the ranges given in Evans and Nichols’ list of Con- 
necticut bryophytes that it seems well to publish our list in its entirety. To 
make the list as complete as possible with reference to species I have looked 
through all the duplicate material, so that the same number will often be found 
under several species, while on the other hand a species ascribed to a certain 
number may not always occur in all duplicates of that number. With reference 
to the localities from which the specimens came I give below the printed data 
of the several labels.
