doscribed as new species referred to known genera, in the Journal of Botany for 
November 1875 and January 1876, and again with fuller diagnoses with which 
Dr. Nylander (who most kindly assisted me in their determination) favoured me 
ill the Journal of the Linnsean Society (Botany) for July 1870. Though several of 
the new species hear a superficial resemblance to some of our northern lichens, yet 
on analysis they arc found to bo quite distinct, and for the most part are peculiar 
to Kerguelen Island. 
The results obtained by the German Transit of Venus and Surveying Expedition 
at Betsy Cove, are not yet published. 
The total number of species obtained from the island is 61, and 10 varieties. 
Traces of a few other species exist in the various collections, consisting either of 
sterile thalli or undeveloped apothecia which are necessarily indeterminable.
