Dr, Howe's interesting paper i) has now appeared, and though 

 I am not able to give any better explanation as to these peculiar 

 bodies, I nevertheless wish to give here a short description being 

 able in some respects to make a few additions to the description 

 by Dr. Howe. 



Fig. 421. Endophytic organisms in Liagora. 



a, a body fixed to the filaments of Liagora. b, another specimen more 



magnified, c, transverse section, d, part of a specimen with sporangium. 



e, a young specimen, f, part of a crushed specimen. 



(a, about 300:1; b, f, about 500:1; c, d. e, about 275:1.) 



These bodies I have found, in common with Howe, in several 

 species of Liagora, but especially abundantly in Liagora elongata 

 and therefore I restrict my description to those from this species 

 (Fig. 421).
