texture of the rock surface on the lichen flora. Several species were found 
on close-grained and indurated sandstone which did not occur on coarser 
grained unaltered sandstone. The coarse conglomerates have fewer lichens 
than the sandstones, and the granites at the lower elevations are charac¬ 
terised by a paucity of species. J. Ramsbottom (London).

This is a list of lichens gathered in Southern Nigeria. There are no 
novelties. J. Ramsbottom (London).

MERRILL, G. K., Florida Lichens (Bryologist 1913, 16, 39—41). 
Eleven species new to Florida are here listed and in most cases 
described. Physcia {Pseudophyscia) speciosa var. minor is diagnosed as 
new to science. The description is accompanied by a photograph.

MERRILL, G. K., Lichens from Java (Torreya 1913, 13, 133—137). 
This list of lichens from various localities of Java contains several 
rare and little known species. Habitat and locality are given and in most 
cases notes are added. J. Ramsbottom (London).

This is a list of lichens giving locality and habitat. “The lichen 
flora as exhibited by this collection shows an interesting mixture of 
littoral and Austral species whose presence it is not difficult to explain 
by the climatic conditions governing the islands. A few curious northern 
species are noted.” In the second note four species are added to the 
above list. J. Ramsbottom (London).

California. No. 6 (Bryologist 1911, 14, 100—102). 
Hasse continues his study on the lichens of Southern California. 
There are here described four new species, Heppia Zahlbruckneri, Bacidia 
Kingmani , Caloplaca Posez and Dirina Catalinariae.
