ANNOTATED LIST OF SPECIES 



The following list of descriptions is arranged 

 alphabetically. The name of each species is followed by 

 the authority and the journal in which the original de- 

 scription or current valid name of the organism was first 

 published. Lists of synonyms have been restricted to 

 those which have come into existence since 1970. For a 

 recent, thorough treatment of the systematics and tax- 

 onomic positions of higher marine fungi see Kohlmeyer 

 (1972) and Hughes (1975).
