Family RHODOPHYLLIDACE.^. 



Cystoclonium gracilarioides Harvey. 



Upper sublitoral zone. Esquimalt, B. C, Harveij (1862, p. 

 171); Port Angeles, Clallam County, Wash., Lichtenthaler! 



The type specimen is sterile, but the Port Angeles specimen has 

 cystocarps and is certainly a member of this genus, although we 

 feel somewhat uncertain as to whether it is the species of Harvey 

 or not. It does not seem to differ essentially from the New 

 England forms of C. purpurascens. 



Agardhiella tenera (J. Agardh) Schmitz. 



On rocks in the upper sublitoral zone. ''North West Coast," 

 Harvey (18r)2, p. 1.14, pi. 23 B, under EliaJjclonia Goulteri) \ 

 Puget Sound, Harven and BaUey (1851, p. 371, under Hi/pixea 

 Coulteri) , Bailey atid Harvey (1862, p. 162, under Rliahdonia 

 Goulteri); Esquimalt, B. C, Harvey (1862, p. 170, under Rlaih- 

 donia Goulteri); west coast of Whidbey Island, Wash., N.L.G., 

 Nos. 130!, 131!; Tracy ton, Kitsap County, Wash., Tilde n, No. 

 217!, under Rluthdonia Goulteri. 



There seems to lie no difference between the species of the 

 eastern and western coasts, and consequently we feel justified in 

 assigning the Rhabdonia Goulteri Harvey (or Agardhiella Goulteri 

 (Harvey) Setchell, in Collins, Holden and Setchell, P. B.-A., No. 

 333, 1897) to the Agardhiella tenera (J. Agardh) Schmitz. 



Turnerella Mertensiana (P. & R.) Schmitz, 



Cast ashore, api)arently from deep water. Shumagin Islands, 

 Alaska, Haunders {\S){)1, ^. 435); Unga, Alaska, .4. A. />., No. 

 5054!; Kukak Bay, Alaska, Saunders, No. 352!; Puget Sound, 

 Bailey and H<( rvey {1S62, p. 163, under Iridcea Mertensiana) : 

 Victoria, B. C, Harvey (1862, p. 174, under Irideea Mertensiana) . 



We are very uncertain about the occurrence of this species 

 within the limits of our territory. The type of the Iridaca Mer- 

 tensiana of Poslcls and Ruprecht came from the Ochotsk Sea. 

 Kjellman (1889, [). 32) found it not uncommon on the shores of 

 Bering Island, but stei'ile. The plant of Harvey from \'ictoi-ia 

 was only a fragment. We have been able to examine one of
