Muir Glacier (Trelease, 1007c) ; Unalaska (Setchell) ; St. Matthew 
Island (Trelease, ion); Cape Nome (Setchell). Rothrock reports 
it from St. Matthew Island, and Macoun from St. Paul and St. 
George Islands. Under the synonym Gyrophora proboscidea Dr. 
Nylander records its occurrence on St. Lawrence Island. 
The specimen from Muir Glacier is doubtfully referred here. It 
is small, with branching fibrils beneath. The development of fibrils 
on this specimen is much more evident than on the more mature speck 
mens.
