Rhodophyllis dichotoma f. setacea Kjellman. 



Uualaska, Alaska, Buprechi (1851, p. 593, under Cilidria 

 fiisca ) . 



From Riipreeht's description, it seems fairl}' certain tiiat his 

 ]ilaut from Unalaska belongs under this form of Kjellman. 



Family SPH.l^ROCOCCACEAE. 



Gracilaria confervoides (L.) Greville. 



On rocks in the upper litoral zone. Esquimalt, B. C, Harvey 

 (1862, p. 170); west coast of Whidbey Island, Wash., N.L.G., 

 No. 123!; Tracy ton, Kitsap County, Wash , Tilde n, Nos. 215!, 

 216!, the latter under G. confervoides f. longissima. 



A common species of the coast of California, but api)arently 

 not so common on the shores of Puget Sound. We cannot see 

 any difference between the two forms distril)uted by Miss Tilden. 

 Certainly what she indicates under f . longissima is the ordinary 

 form of the species and seems of equally common occurrence in 

 Europe. 



Corallopsis Salicornia (Agardh) Greville. 



Unalaska, Alaska, C. A. Agardh (1820, pi. 8, under Spha'ro- 

 coccus Salicornia) . 



It is generally admitted that Chamisso must have labelled the 

 type specimen of this species wrong. Euprecht (1851, p. 318) 

 makes the statement that Chamisso, himself, was doubtful as to 

 whether he ol)tained the specimen at Unalaska or elsewhere. 



Hypnea musciformis (Wulfen) Lamouroux. 



C. A. Agardh (1821a, }). 326) gives this species a range in 

 the Pacific Ocean from Unalaska to New Zealand. Turner (1809, 

 p. 146) gives Nootka Sound, B. C, as the locality where Menzies 

 collected the ])lant he describes under the name of Fucw^ nmsei- 

 fonitis var. Xootkainis. These are the sources of all other refer- 

 ences to this plant as an inhabitant of our territory. We believe 

 that the reference to Unalaska may have been made by Agardh 

 under a mistaken geographical impression. Certainly Es])er
