cells. The gland-cells are placed in the same way, having nearly 

 the same shape as in Chrysymenia Agardhii. Also in this plant 

 hypha? were found growing out from the gland-cells. 



It cannot be denied that this plant, on the whole, comes very 

 near to Chrysymenia Agardhii and that MELVILLE is right in 

 considering it as a variety only of this species. The only difference 

 between the two 

 forms seems to 

 be that the thal- 

 lus in Chrysy- 

 menia planijrons 

 is not divided, 

 being very broad. 



The plant 

 was gathered in 

 the month of 

 March. It was 

 dredged in rather 

 deep water, about 

 30 meters.
