beyond doubt that his plants were quite difîerent from Harvey's. 

 By the kindness of Prof. Wiiküit of Trinity College I was able 

 to get the photograph of the original specimen of Sargasswn EoJ- 

 gersianum. The i)lant is nothing but a part of aSI patens Ag. 

 Gßrxow had recognized this when he revised Harvey's specimen, 

 according to a letter from Prof. Wright, and the label bearing 

 the name Sargassuvi Rodgersianum Harv. is correctly amended. 



Anthophycus japonicus is proposed by Martens in Preus. 

 Exped. Tange, p. llo. The diagnosis is not clear enough being 

 in some respects apj)licable to Sargassum Ringgoldianum Harv. 

 De Toni^^ referred it doubtingly to the genus Carpophyllum. 

 Goebel illustrates a plant in Biologische Schildringen p. 8. fig. 2. 

 bearing the name of Anthophycus japonicus Mart. The figure 

 reveals nothing but an upjDer portion of a sterile frond of the 

 typical form of the present species.
