158 MR. W. B. HEMSLEY ON THE 
camp. The party left Dalai Kurgan on the sixth of August, and 
marched through the pass of Sarik Kol, and it seems that about 
a third of the plants were collected between these two places ; 
so that a number of them were not actually found in Tibet 
Proper. Among those sent to Kew there is absolutely nothing 
new; but Dr. Hedin had previously given two species of 
Gentiana from Sarik Kol to Dr. S. Murbeck, which he described 
as new, and indeed they seem to be very distinct. Gentiana 
Hedini is remarkable in having fringed scales, similar to those 
on the corolla, on the inside of some of the sepals ; and the other, 
G. cordisepala, is distinguished by the shape of the sepals. But 
these and several others are excluded from our final enumeration. 
Dr. Hedin was the only one of our travellers who collected 
Alye, and my colleague Mr. C. H. Wright furnishes the 
following particulars of the collection, which was determined by 
Dr. N. Wille:— 
“ The alge collected in Northern Tibet by Dr. S. Hedin number 
twenty-four species, belonging to sixteen genera. Hight species 
were collected in salt water, viz. :—Spirogyra sp., Enteromorpha 
percursa, ERhizoclonium riparium, R. Kerneri, R. macromeres, 
Cladophora vaga, Vaucheria dichotoma and V. littorea (?). 
“One species proved to be new and has been described as 
Harpochytrium Hedinii, Wille. It was found epiphytic on a 
species of Zygnema, growing in fresh water at Sorgotsu Namaga. 
All the other species occur in Europe, those extending outside 
that area being :— 
“ Cosmarium subspeciosum. Greenland, Brazil; a variety in 
New Zealand. 
Closterium acerosum. Nova Zembla, Siberia, Japan, Burma, 
N. America and the Argentine. 
Ulothrix tenerrima. New Zealand. 
Lhizoclonium riparium. Montevideo. 
Cladophora crispata. N. America, Chiloé, Peru, New Zealand. 
Vaucheria dichotoma, N. America (fide Kuetaing). 
Binuclearia tatrana has been found in Lake Csober in the 
Carpathians at an altitude of about 4500 ft.”
