Abstract: We continue the study of the rational Picard group of the moduli space of Hitchin's spectral covers started in P. Zograf's and D. Korotkin's work [11]. In the first part of the paper we expand the ``boundary, ``Maxwell stratum and ``caustic divisors introduced in [11] via the set of standard generators of the rational Picard group. This generalizes the result of [11], where the expansion of the full discriminant divisor (which is a linear combination of the classes mentioned above) was obtained. In the second part of the paper we derive a formula that relates two Hodge classes in the rational Picard group of the moduli space of Hitchin's spectral covers.
