varies a good deal, and perhaps runs into the preceding ; but 

 there also appears to be a third form yet unnamed. The two 

 species were named by Professor Agardh from specimens sent 

 Home by Mr. Crosby Smith and myself. But in the inter- 

 change of letters some mistake has arisen about the labels, 

 and I am now unable to lay my hands on type specimens of 

 M. pinnata.

 Common on the coast and in river-estuaries : R. M. L. 



Order Cryptonemiacese.

 Banks Peninsula (very sparingly) : Berggren. 



137. Schizymenia nova-zelandia, J. Ag., Epicr., p. 677 (also 



Anal. Algol., cont. v., p. 76).

Note, Anal. Algol., cont. v., p. 76.) 

 Dunedin and Banks Peninsula (very sparingly) : Berggren. 

 I have a specimen (from Lyall Bay, I think), but I have 

 unfortunately lost the name of the locality. 



140. Pachymenia lusoria, J. Ag.. Epicr., p. 145. (Iridea 



lusona : PI. Nov.-Zel., p. 252.) 

 Apparently abundant from Mongonui to Stewart Island. 

 I may have occasionally mistaken some other plant for it, 

 for its identification is often impossible without a very close 

 examination ; but it appears to be one of the commonest of 

 our red seaweeds on exposed tidal rocks. 



141. Pachymenia dichotoma, J. Ag., Epicr., p. 146. 

 Bluff: Berggren, R. M. L.

 Identification somewhat doubtful.
