This paper contains a description, accompanied by figures, of the apothecia and fruit of seven new Lichens from Brasil. The description is preceded by a short " Conspectus Graph idearum." Two of the plants described belong to the genus Opegrapha, one to Pyrrhographa, two to Arthothelium, and one to Thecographa. The seventh constitutes a new genus, Creographa, allied to Me- dusula.

This paper contains an account of a small collection (twenty- six in number) of Lichens made in New Caledonia, by D. D. Yieillard and Paucher. Six of the species are European, the rest Polynesian, Japanese and Australian. The author remarks that of the species which are found in New Zealand more than half are European.

lander. Ann. des Sc. Naturelles, tome xii. p. 293-295.

The author remarks that,- so far as regards the distinction between these genera, it is sufficient to say that the thallus of Psoroma has true gonidia, and that of Pannaria only gonimic granules, a distinction, he adds, analogous to that which exists between Nephroma and Nephromium, and Sticta and Stictina. The author divides Psoroma into two sections, separated by the nature of the margin of the apothecia, and Pannaria into two sections, the first having lecanorine, and the second biatorine apothecia.
