Extract

The researches contained in the author's memoir, of which the following is a brief abstract, extended over a period of several years, and are based on careful microscopic examination of several thousand specimens of lichens from every part of the known world. The author examined the lichens of the Hookerian Herbarium at Kew, which contains an unrivalled series of specimens collected by the various surveying and exploring expeditions of the British Government, as well as by all the more distinguished modern British travellers. This collection is further valuable, from containing authentic specimens collected and named by Borrer, Turner, Hooker, Brodie, Carmichael, Babington, and other distinguished British lichenologists, as well as by Acharius, Schærer, Swartz, and other continental authors.
