IB : Moira, 1906, K. & K. M. Fisher LICHENES (Lichens) The lichens of Charnwood Forest and the Twycross district were mostly found by Mr. Bloxam. His localities were published by Leighton & Crombie ; excepting those which now have his name within brackets they rest solely on his authority.

of the Ascomycetes, one of the great sub-classes of the fungi, unless any of them should be found to belong to another sub-class. 53
