p. 71. Alga exigua dlchotomos, areiKicei coloris . . . Circa Hollandiam 

 .pagum non longe ab Harvico in littus maris rejectum invenimus. 



On reference to specimens in Buddie's and other Sloanean 

 collections this proves to be Ahnfeltia plicata J. Ag. 



p 73- Fucus angustifolius vesiciilis longis siliqiiarum ccnnilis. Quern in 

 littus ejectum invenimus circa Hollandiam vicum non procul ab Harvico portu, 5

 97, 121), figured by him (under this name of Ray's) Tab.

 that the specimens used by Sowerby for English Botany, Tab. 136, 

 as R. mavitima are this species. " They were," he says, " from 

 a plant gathered by E. Forster in Ray's station." Sowerby's 

 drawing is, how^ever, endorsed " E. F., junr. The habitat 

 mislaid," while the specimens themselv s are fragmentary and
