LICHENS AND LICHEN. PARASITES

DODGE-LICHENS AND LICHEN PARASITES 9
Queen Mary Land. Nevertheless, a very fine collection of lichens was made from that locality
by our man, Ilarrisson, and was forwarded with other material to Mr. Cheel, at the Botanical
Gardens, Sydney. It is almost certain, therefore, that the Queen Mary Land material is amongst
that sent back to us by Mr. Cheel. Our man Harrisson was very methodical and it appears to me
that he labelled his lichen collection with the letter "L" and followed it by I-VII referring to
the various nunataks from which he collected the material. On this basis, I have entered all
material in collection thus printed as of Harrisson's Queen Mary Land collection."
Acting on this assumption, the narrative of the Western Base Party (Mawson, 1914) was
carefully read and assuming further that the Roman numerals referred to nunataks in the order
visited, rather than to separate nunataks, they are so reported here, I and VI being Hippo Nuna-
tak, I1 David Ihnd, I11 and V Possession Nunatak, IV Mt. Barr-Smith and VII Alligator Nuna-
tak. This seems to be confirmed by the fact that collections from IV contain 4 species (out of 5)
different from those of other localities, as> one might expect if it referred to Mt. Barr-Smith,
4,000 feet elevation, as contrasted with the fairly uniform flora of the low coastal nunataks.
No collector was indicated for the material from the British, Australian and New Zealand
Antarctic Research Expedition, although most of it was collected by Professor T. Harvey John-
ston, chief Biologist, Dr. J. W. S. Marr assisting him during the first expedition (1929-30). It
has been cited B.A.N.Z.A.R.E. in this report. In most cases the numbers originally with the
specimens refer to a locality rather than to a single specimen, hence the specimens have been
arbitrarily and serially numbered for each locality; e.g. in B177-12, B177 refers to the locality
(upper part of Greenland Harbour, Kerguelen) , while 12 arbitrarily distinguishes a rock speci-
men from other rocks from the same locality.
