Einar Du Rietz in Uppsala and his first collections of lichens from Mt Peel, Ashburton, Feilding, and Mt Egmont are described. The specimens, which are held in the herbaria of the Institutionen for Systematisk Botanik and the Vaxtbiologiska Institu-tionen in Uppsala, Sweden, consist of 64 species distributed amongst 32 genera. Of phyttv geographical interest are the first discoveries in New Zealand of Cetraria islandica and Solorina
