↑ Since the publication of the "IAchenes Jntarctici" in the 'London Journal of Botany,' and of those contained in the first part of this work, I have had the advantage of re-studying all the species with my friend, the Rev. Chnrchill Babington, whose profound knowledge of the forms of this difficult order, and acquaintance with the most recent writings of European Lichenologists, have been most liberally brought to bear upon this part of the 'Flora Antarctica.'
