MICROLICHENS WITH 9 PLATES AND l MAP --.:.-- OSLO JACOB DYBWADS BOKHANDEL 1940 A. W. BRØGGERS BOKTRYKKERI Als Preface. n 1929 the present author joined a Norweg�an scientific exp��ition to I Nonh East Greenland. The other botamst of the expedltlon was Mr. Jakob Vaage, who was in charge of the vascular plants. In the next year a new expedition went over. Its botanists were Mr. P. F. Scholander, who collected lichens and vascular plants, and Mr. Jakob Vaage, who again devoted himself to the vascular plants. The first part of our report on the lichens was published in 1932: B. Lynge and P. F. Scholander: Lichens from North East Greenland collected on the Norwegian Scientific Expeditions in 1929 and 1930, Skrifter om Svalbard og Ishavet, Nr. 41, p. 1-116, pl. I-VII, 1 map. In this part our "Macrolichens" were treated, comprising in all 102 species. In this second part I present our "Microlichens". At the end of the paper is given a list of all the lichens, which we found, numbering in all about 350 different species and also the lichens, recorded from other parts of East Ureenland, in all 406 species. Since 1932 I have again and again studied these species, and revised my opinion on severaI of them, which is not now the same as it was in 1932. This number of species does not suggest a peculiarly dch flora. In 1921 I found 413 different species of lichens in Novaya Zemlya in one summer, and then I was alone in charge of the lichens as well as of the vascular plants, and with less experience, though with a better physic. Our Greenland region is far to the north, between 72° and 74° 30'. Farther to the south we meet a great number of species, which we did not find in our region. In all the number of known Macrolichens from the East Greenland coast is 142. Possibly the number of Microlichens would be equally increased, or nearly so, if the South East coast of Greenland had been explored with the same intensity as our northern region. But it is labour lost to discuss such probabilities, let us rather go and find out what the South East Greenland coast really contains of Microlichens. 4 BERNT LYNGE The itinerary far the twa years was: 1929 1930 I.

We are better informed of the lichens, which I have called Macrolichens. In my paper "Lichens from Spitsbergen and the North­ East Land", Vid.-'Akad. Skrift., Mat.-Naturv. Kl., 1938, No. 6, p. 107- 111 I summarized what we knew of these Jichens from West Greenland, East Greenland, Svalbard, and Novaya Zemlya. The number of species was resp. 161, 142, 145, and 138. In a recently finished (yet unpublished) paper on the Macrolichens of Iceland I enumerated 150 different species from that island.
