CATALOGUE OE LICHENS COLLECTED IN 
FLORIDA IN 1885-WITH NOTES. 
IJY AV. W. CAI.KINS, CHICAGO, ICI.IXOIS. 
Tlie follovviiii? species were studied and determined mostly by II. 
Willey, Esq., which is a sufficient guarantee of careful and correct woi-k. 
This quite respectable list, the result of a very little time spent by me in 
connection with other pursuits, shows plainly the richness of the field in 
Lichens. Florida furnishes novelties in many departments of natural 
history, and no less so in her Lichen flora, which, however, has not, as 
yet, been made a special study by any one. When fully explored, we 
may expect to And a curious commingling of northern, southern and ^ 
tropical forms, many flnding here, however, their limits geographically. 
The question of their distribution is an interesting one yet to be solved, 
and while the limits are plainly deflnable as to the Phanerogamia of 
Florida, we know next to nothing of the lower orders in this connection. 
With this view, the list will serve as a basis for future labor.
