I have not seen any type s])ccimeii of Sp. obovatus Kl'tz. 

 But judging from the figures in Tab. Phyc, 1. c, and observing 

 from my specimen that the shape of receptacles varies from 

 elliptical to clavate, I am tempted to regard Kutzing's plant as 

 to re])resent an old form of this species. 



Okamura reckons lunvevcr with hesitation Sp. herculeus J. 

 Ag. occurs on the Pacific coast of middle Ja])an. lUiL what he 

 oljserves on receptacles of his plant is not at all events ap[)lic- 

 ablc to Sp. herculeus J. Ag. which is known to have longest 

 receptacle among the genus. Very probably his plant may be 

 referred to the ])resent species.
