Kristinsson, H. 1999: The 12th meeting of the Nordic Lichen Society in Eiðar, Iceland 1997. Graphis Scripta 11: 13-21. Stockholm. ISSN 0901-7593.

The Nordic Lichen Society meeting of 1997 took place at Eiðar in the eastern part of Iceland in August. The 21 participants were from the Nordic Coun-tries and Russia. Besides the general meeting of the Nordic Lichen Society, five excursions were made to different parts of the eastern regions of Iceland, including one visit to Mývatn. A list of the 328 taxa of lichens and licheni-colous fungi recorded and collected on the excursions is presented here. This is more than a half of the total number of species that had been recorded in Iceland, including 55 lichens and 5 lichenicolous fungi new to Iceland. Almost all of the new species were crustose. The exceptions are four species of Cladonia, two of Dermatocarpon and one Leptogium. Twelve of the new species belong to the three genera Lepraria, Micarea and Miriquidica.
