KJELLMANNIA SORIFERA FOUND ON THE RHODE ISLAND CoasT.— 
A single specimen of the alga Kjellmannia sorifera Reinke was washed 
ashore at Bristol, Rhode Island, March 4th, 1901. It has been held 
until this time in the hope that the discovery of other specimens might 
throw further light upon the place of its growth. It was found after 
a storm, and is believed to have drifted from a locality further south- 
ward in Narragansett Bay. Since it is known only in the Southwest 
Baltic, and was not recognized there until 1888, its occurrence in our 
waters is a matter of surprise as well as congratulation. Whether, 
like various other brown forms, it came to us by currents from Green- 
land, is a problem reserved for the future. The thanks of the under- 
signed are tendered to Dr. W. G. Farlow and to Mr. Frank S. Collins, 
who have very courteously examined the specimens.— R. E. Scuun,

Vol. 16, no. 187, including pages 117 to 136, and plate 110, was issued 27 
July, 1914.
