That this fpecies is the C. lanofa of Roth, I have been enabled to prove 

 by means of authentic fpecimens in Mr. Turner's extenfive Herbarium. I 

 difcovered it feveral years ago in the neighbourhood of Dover, and have 

 fince received fpecimens from feveral of my friends. The filaments are 

 moftly about four lines, and I believe they never exceed an inch in length. 

 The color is generally of a very dull yellowifh green, wholly deftitute of 

 glofs when dry. The joints vary in length, fome of thofe in the lower 

 part of the fiiament being about equal to, and others double the diameter, 

 but thofe at the terminations of the filaments are uniformly much longer 

 than any of thofe below them. Mr. Hooker in the fpecimens which he 

 gathered at Cromer, obferved two fmall dark colored fpots in many of the 

 joints, but this appearance they lofe in drying. The var. (6. was fent me 

 by Mr. Borrer, who found it on the Suffex coafl growing on Zoftera 

 marina, and I have alfo received it from Mr. Brodie : it is of a grafs-green 

 color and is glofTy, but though on this account widely different at firft 

 fight, it does not appear to be diftinft from the prefent fpecies. Mr. Turner 

 has received both of thefe from Mifs Hutchins as the fame. The drawing 

 at plate E was made by Mr. Flooker from a recent fpecimen, and reprefents 

 the plant magnified 3, and alfo feparatcly the upper and lower parts of a 

 filament magnified 1.
