have found it more ifregular, consisting of free, creeping filaments. The 

 plurilocular sporangia are simple or branched, 58 — 100 n long and 5,8 

 — lu broad; in the central portion of the disc they have a 20—40 p. 

 long stalk consisting of 1 — 4 cells, hut nearer the margin they are often 

 sessile. The sporangia consist usually of a single series of loculi and 1 

 have but seldom observed two series in the middle portion. Some of my 

 specimens were for the most part composed of unbranched, 100— 140 ^r/ 

 long and 6 — 7 p. broad, assimilative filaments, the cells of which were 

 twice as long as broad. I have only met with lateral hairs, which some- 

 times were more than 400 tx long. As far as I can judge from my alcohol 

 material, there is only one chromatophore to be found in each cell. Well

 Fig. 3. a shows stalked and divided plurilocular sporangium and a short rhizoid ; 

 h shows an assimilative filament and two rhizoids, the one of which (to the left) 

 not yet separated from the mother cell with a wall, the other (to the right) 



consisting of one cell. (316 : 1.) 



developed rhizoids, like those figured by Sauvageau in fig. 14, /' (I.e.), 

 are frequent in my material; they penetrate the sorus and grow inwards 

 between the paraphyses and sporangia of the host-plant. 



My specimens are, as I have said before, hilly agreeing with Sau- 

 vageau's descrii)lion and figures (1. c), and they also agree very well willi 

 the Faeroese specimens mentioned by Borgesen (Fser. alg. p. 426), which 

 were sent to Sauvageau.
