A HISTORY OF LANCASHIRE out reference to the above Transactions. Two very common plants are recorded in Ann. Rep. Manch. Micr. Soc. for 1889, pp. 114-116. These are F. vesiculosus and F. nodosus. The foUov/ing six species of marine algse are recorded in ' A Catalogue of the British Marine Alga,' by E. A. L. Batters, LL.B., Supplement to the Journal 0/ Botany, 1902. Of the six species only three are additional to the list compiled by Mr. Martindale, They are marked thus.* Vaucheria litorea, B. and Ag. Uherston •Sphacelaria plumigera. Holmes. Addingham, Walney I.

Lomentaria articulata, Lyngb. Walney 1. •Ceramium Deslongchampsii, Chauv. Ulverstm — flabelligerum. Uherston Dr. H. Stolterforth, M.A., of Chester, named all the marine diatoms for the Liverpool Marine Biol. District. The account is published in 2nd Report of the L.M. B.C., 1889. None of these records refer to Lancashire, but to Cheshire and North Wales. A bibliography of Liverpool, etc., is given. It is unaccountable that Lancashire Algae (including Diatoms), both of fresh and salt water, should have been so neglected, more so than any other county apparently. For further references see Dr. Van Heurck's Synopsis, ch. iii. p. 43, etc. CLASS LICHENES {Lichen forming Fungi) More conveniently placed here than under the class Fungi proper. No attention was paid to the lichens until the present decade. Messrs. Wheldon and Wilson have recently devoted some time to the study of West Lancashire species. The following list, which is based on their MS. must not therefore be taken as representative of the lichen flora of the county. Many of their doubtful plants have been submitted to Messrs. J. A. Martindale and E. M. Holmes. See Journal of Botany, September, 1904. Fam. II.— COLLEMACEI Tribe II. — CoLLEMEi Lichina confinis, Ag. 60. Tidal rocks, nr. SilverJale: W. and W.
