 deusta. Sitka (169a). 



The erect filaments are unbranched, 200-300 /x long by 5-7 ij. wide ; 

 cells 8-10 IX long; plurilocular sporangia 60-80 ii long, 6-9 ix wide,

 intermingled with the peripheral filaments of the host, which are 

 once or twice dichotomously branched bearing above a few short 

 branches that become transformed into uniseriate plurilocular spor-
