Schizoneura quercifolia f. linearis Collins comb. nov. 



Ou stipes of Lessouia iu the upper sublitoral zone. Port 

 Renfrew, B. C, Butler and PoUey, in Collins, Holden and 

 Setchell, P. B.- A., No. 938! 



Collins has distributed the specimens collected at Port Renfrew 

 under the name of Delesseria quercifoUa f . linearis. The plants 

 look like eroded and less proliferous forms of the Unalaska plants 

 which we have referred to D. sinuosa. In general outline and 

 venation, these several plants resemble S. quercifoUa very much, 

 but that species as found on the coast of California does not 

 show, in the specimens seen by us, any tendency towards prolif- 

 eration. As none of the specimens are in fruit, we must leave 

 them as given here. 



Erythroglossum Woodii J. Agardh. 



Vancouver Island, B.C., J. G. Agardh (Ih'TU, p. 34, under 

 Delesseria Woodii). 



We have not seen any specimen which may be referred to 

 this species. According to the description, it has a narrow, 

 linear frond (2-3 mm. wide), pinnately branched, with inter- 

 rupted, linear, marginal sori.

A large and beautiful species with both cystocarps and tetra- 

 spores in abundance, extending southward to the central coast of 

 California.
