 104 LICHENES ANTILLARUM A W. R. ELLIOTT COLLEOTI. L. pezizoidea (Ach.) affinis et apotheciis earn in memoriam revocans, at apotheciis minus elevatis et margine pallidiore instructis et colore epithecii cet, ab ea bene differens. Excipulum liyphis radiantibus, conglutinatis, cellulis oblongis, sat angustis. 9. L. (Lopadium) EUiottii, sp. n. Thallus crustaceus, tenuis vel tenuissimus, sat continuus, sat Eequalis, glauco-virescens. Apothecia adpressa, 0-8-0-4 millim. lata, disco primum planiusculo, demum convexo, testaceo-pallido aut sordide testaceo, epruinoso, margine sat tenui, discum pallidiore, primum discum aequante, demum excluso aut subpersistente. Excipulum pallidum, minute parenchymaticum, extus Isevigatum. Hypothecium rufescenti- rubescens aut fulvescenti-rufescens, KHO non reagens. Hymenium 0-070-0-100 millim. crassum, totum decoloratum, iodo intense persistenter caerulescens. Paraphyses parce evolutse, tenuissimae, increbre ramoso-connexse (in H^SO^ visae). Sporse Snae aut 4nfe aut abortu solitarias, decolores, fusiformes aut fusiformi-elongatsB, altero apice vulgo angustiore, apicibus obtusis aut altero apice rotundato, halone indutae aut destitutae, submurales, septis trans- versalibus 7-9, septis longitudinalibus paucissimis, vulgo solum 10-12-cellulos^, long. 0-026-0-032, crass. 0-005-0-009 (raro 0-011) millim. Ad folia arborum (duarum specierum) in Bonbomme Woods in St. Vincent. L. perpallidaw Nyl. in memoriam revocat, sed minor. Stratum hypothallinum cyanescens solum infra apo- thecia evolutum. Gonidia protococcoidea (forsan pleurococcoidea), simplicia, membrana sat tenui. Asci clavati, membrana tenui. 10. L. (Lopadium) rubicundula, sp. n.

Apothecia adpressa, 0-4-0-2 millim. lata, disco piano, rufescenti- rubicundo, epruinoso, margine mediocri aut sat tenui, carneo- albido, discum aequante, persistente. Excipulum impellucidum et aerem inter hyphas continens, irregulariter crebre contextum, gonidiis destitutum, KHO lutescens et dein rubescens (crystalla acicularia brevia rubra formans). Hypothecium rufescenti-pallidum aut testaceum. Hymenium 0*060 millim. crassum, totum decolo- ratum aut epithecio passim pallido, iodo intense persistenter caeru- lescens. Paraphyses parum evolutae, fere diffluxae, ramoso-connexae.
