7. G. Teedii, Lamour. (Teedes Gigartir.ci); frond subcartila- 

 ginous linear acuminated flat repeatedly pinnated with very- 

 narrow horizontal branches, the ultimate ramuli setaceous 

 (bearing the sphserical capsules). Sphceroccccits Teedii, Ag.

In the sea, Lupton and Elberry Coves and Tor Abbey rocks, 

 Torbay, Mrs. Griffiths.— Two to 4—5 inches long, very much branched, 

 with the branches often opposite ; not unfrequently the ramuli are se- 

 cund. The beautiful and numerous specimens that I have received from 

 Mrs. Griffiths are so copiously pinnated, that their appearance is very 

 different from the figure of Roth and Turner. Much of the difference 

 indeed may be occasioned by the former not being in fructification, in 

 which state Mrs. Griffiths has never found it. That lady justly 

 remarks that " this species is not in its place among the R/wdomenice, 

 and that it comes much nearer to the Gracilarke of Dr. Greville, espe- 

 cially G. acicularis" Indeed I possess some small specimens of G. 

 acicularis that can hardly be distinguished from a less ramified G. 

 Teedii. 



8. G. GriffithsicE, Grev. {Mrs. Griffith's Gigartina); frond 

 cartilaginous cylindrical filiform dichotomous throughout and 

 fastigiate, fructification (?) oblong warts composed of monilifbrm 

 filaments surrounding the stem. — Grev. Alg. Brit. p. 149 —

Rocks in the sea, Torbay, and at Sidmouth, Mrs. Griffiths. Exmouth, 

 Miss Filmore and Rev. J. Jarvis. Balbriggan, near Dublin, Dr. Scott 

 ©. Autumn, Winter.— One to four inches long, slender, considerably 

 resembling Polyidet rotundtu in miniature and having somewhat similar 

 warts or tubercles, which appear destined to contain the fructification.
