Introduction. 



During these five years spent in the collection of Marine Algae 

 along the coast of northern and middle Japan, I have paid special 

 attention to the family Corallinaceae. I took for my own study 

 the subfamily Corallinae and sent the specimens of Melobesiae to 

 Mr. M. Foslie of Xorway, begging his collaboration on the group. 

 He detected among them a dozen species, several of which are new to 

 science. His papers based on the study of this material have been 

 published in Det Kgl. Xorske Videnskabers Selskahs Skripter^). 

 In the Corallinae I examined as many as thirty species, which are 

 enumerated in the present work. Lately a few species of Corallinae 

 have been sent to our Institute from Loochoo and elsewhere in the
