The present list is based on his collection. New species added to the 
original list are numbered in bold faced type. All matter enclosed in paren- 
thesis is based on further collecting and study on my own part since the first 
list appeared. 
The specimens in the Wheelock collection were evidently mainly 
determined by Mr. Wheelock, and in the large majority of cases correctly, 
though many curious and glaring errors are to be noticed. His library 
c ontains the works of Tuckerman,* and he followed this author in almost 
every respect. It is not improbable, as he occasionally visited Amherst, 
and was a contempory of Tuckerman, that many of his determinations 
had the approval of this great lichenologist, though of this we have no 
absolute proof. The herbarium is accessible to all who desire to consult 
it. Separates of this paper may be had by applying to the author. 
It is the desire of the donors, Mr. W. H. Elliot, Dr. J. W. Elliot, and 
Mrs. E. J. E. Daland, relatives of Mr. Wheelock, that “The George Alexan- 
der Wheelock Collection’’ be of educational use in accordance with the cus- 
tom of Mr. Wheelock during his life, in the quiet tuition of the children of 
Keene. The genus Cladonia is now in the hands of Dr. L. Scriba, and 
various genera including Lecanora, etc. have been sent to Dr. H. E. Hasse, 
of California. Grateful acknowledgements is due to both these gentlemen. 
Annotated List. 
Genus: Ramalina Ach., De Not. 
The genus Ramalina as represented in this region needs an entire revi- 
sion, and the above arrangement and disposal of species and specimens must 
be considered only temporary. I will gladly send the specimens contained 
in the Wheelock and my Herbarium to any person who is familiar with the 
genus. 
1. Ramalina calicaris fraxinea Fr. Three specimens, two thus 
labelled. Fertile. One is extremely large for this region thallus measuring: 
1*85 X .30 inches, suggesting its accidental appearance in the collection. 
(Fitzwilliam, Jan. 1906, on maple, not typical, subamplica Nyl). 
2. Ramalina calicaris fastigiata Fr. Three specimens. Fertile. 
(Fitzwilliam, common). 
3. Ramalina calicaris canaliculata Fr. Four specimens of which 
one specimen, thus labelled, was first labelled pollinaria, and is undevel- 
oped, and indeterminate, though approachin fraxinea. 
4. Ramalina calicaris farinacea Schaer. Three specimens, one speci- 
men mixed with pollinaria, and so labelled. 
5 . Ramalina pusillageniculata Tuckerm. ==(/?. minuscula Nyl.). Two 
specimens unlabelled appear to belong here. 
6. Ramalina pollinaria (Ach.) Tuckerm. Five specimens, four thus 
labelled, one collected on “ Huggin’s hill.” (See above, No. 3). 
7 . Ramalina polymorpha (Ach. ) Tuckerm. Three specimens, one thus 
including' a written copy of “ Synopsis of Lichens copied from Tuckerman in the 
Harvard Library.”
