The ultimate determination of some of the genera and species of lichens here enumerated is quite uncertain. Lichenists seem to have broken off their allegiance to Fies and his system, while a host of ambitious rivals are in the field ready to assume the precedence, each having a system of his own.
V .- HYSTEROPHYTA .- The Fungi.
Although there have been some 1200 species of fungi collected and preserved in this county, a very large per- centage of which have passed under the experienced eyes of Berkeley and Curtis, and carry the impress of their de- termination, it is impossible for me, at this late period of life, to arrange them properly in a catalogue without more efficient aid than I am able to obtain ; indeed, the litera- ture of the lichens and fungi is in too unsettled a state to allow satisfactory catalogues to be made.
METEOROLOGY.
Slight shocks of earthquakes have been noted at various dates of our history, as in 1726, 1732, 1738, 1755, 1763, etc. Samuel Taylor, of East Bradford, in his diary (1:1, 20, 1800) writes :
"This morning about daybreak we were alarmed by two shocks of an earthquake, so hard as to shake the house till the windows rattled as if the glass would fall out."
The season of 1816 was remarkably cool, there being frost in every month during the summer, and crops were almost an entire failure. Wheat reached $3 per bushel in consequence thereof.
