carps in Harvey's plant are described as "ovate, sessile", in my 

 plant they were urnshaped, short-stalked. Besides, my plant does 

 not seem to reach the dimension mentioned by Harvey. On the 

 other hand, with regard to the whole habit of the plant, the ra- 

 mification, colour, etc., both seem very alike, and my plant, too, 

 stains the paper brownish yellow, as Harvey points out with re- 

 gard to his specimens. 



The plant has been found in shallow water and in rather 

 protected places. It had tetraspores, antheridia and cystocarps in 

 the months of January — March. 



It has been found at St. Croix: Lime Tree Bay. St. Jan : Reef Bay,

Chondria dasyphylla belongs to 

 the subgenus Coelochondria in which, 

 as pointed out by Falkenberg, the 

 growing tip is sunk down and the 

 tissue below it is split, and becomes 

 very loose, with large intervals be- 

 tween the cells. 



This plant is fairly common in 

 shallow water and in somewhat shel- 

 tered places, as an epiphyte upon 

 Cymodocea, Thalassia etc. The spe-
