SYNOPSIS OF THE LICHENES

Of New England, the Other Northern States, and British AmericaThe geographical limits of the work include the countries generally north of 40° N. Lat. But only occasional reference has been made to those regions of Arctic America which do not belong to the British possessions, and I have had, also, less regard to the extreme southern boundary, which is everywhere characterized by the appearance of southern species. The great er, or more northern, portion of this district is naturally distinct and similar throughout, and its Lichenose vegetation seems, in deed, almost represented by that of New England alone. It is probable, however, that a large proportion of the species ih habiting any part of the district, if we except its southwestern extremity, are described here.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
