290 MORPHOLOGY AND T.IXONOMY, ALGAE [BoT. Absts., Vol. VIII, 



The viscid fluid can apparently serve only one purpose, to act as an adhesive by means of 

 which the pollen is firmly attached to the mouth parts of the visiting insects as they force 

 their heads in between the stamens and staminodes to reach the honey in the base of the 

 flower. The complicated movements during anthesis are evidently the means of securing 

 cross pollination. — E. P. Phillips.

 notes on the development of the carpospores of Porphyra tenera Kjellm. Bot. Mag. Tokyo 

 34: 131-135. PL 3. 1920. — Carpospores were grown both in normal sea water and in the same 

 diluted and enriched with calcium phosphate and NaNOs up to a specific gravity of 1.020. 

 In both cases the carpospores put out rhizoidal outgrowths, shorter in the enriched solution, 

 which produced frond-like growths, in no instance did the authors observe the development of 

 gametes in the manner reported by Yendo (see Bot. Absts. 3, Entry 2464). They suggest 

 possibility that the hypothetical gametes may have belonged to a Chytridinean fungus para- 

 site. — Leonas L. Burlingame.
