[Sead btfore this Society, October Sd, 1873.] An attempt at presenting the statistics and the geogruplilcal dis- tribution of the Lichens of North America, must necessarily be imperfect, owing to the fact that but a small portion of the conti- nent has been thoroughly explored in search of Lichens; so that new species may be expected to occur, even in the more familiar districts, while considerable accessions to our knowledge may be expected in those which have, as yet, been hardly visited by the Lichenist. The present attempt, therefore, is ofl'ered only as an approximation to exactness. In my " List of North American Lichens" as known at the com- mencement of 1873, there were enumerated 808 species and sub- species, some being ranked as species, which will hereafter, prob- ably, be reduced to varieties. The additions and corrections since nuide to that list (which are given in an Appendix to this pajier) sv/ell the total to 823, subject to the same reservation in regard to species and varieties. This estinuite does not include a considera- ble number of species collected but not described or published ; with the addition of these and other discoveries which may be made, the whole number of North American Lichens nuiy finally reach between 850 and 900 ; the whole number of Lichens at pres- ent known and described being from 1,500 to 2,000, and of Lichens occurring in Europe, about 700. Now species are being constantly published, but the title of many of them to rank as such nuiy well be doubted, as it depends to a groat extent, on minute choniioal dif- ferences, as to the value of which Lichcnists are not agreed.

(including also a few Arctic species as hereafter noted) ; Alj)., Alpine and sub- Alpine species ; Arc, Arctic species ; Tr., Tropical and sub-Tropical species; N.

Muhlenbergii Siberia. U. Pennsylvanica Asia ; Japan. CoUema leptalenm .... Japan. Alectoria Fromontii, Cetraria Oakesiana, Thelotrema subtile, and Conotrema urceolatum, occur in Europe; Usnea ca\ernosa, in S. America and India ; U. angulata, in S. America and New Zealand ; Kamalina reticulata, in New Zealand; Pannaria leucosticta, in New Zealand ; and R. tenuis, is cosmopolitan. These lists might doubtless be extended. 1U6 APPENDIX.

Among them are three which are new to the United States, but occur in Europe, as follows: 1. Solorina biapora, Nyl. 2. Lecanorc calcarea (L.), Smf., with an elegantly efHgurato thallua. 3. EndococcuB erraticua (Mass.), Nyl. Paraaitic on Placodium elegana.
