 Univ. Acta, xiv. Math. No. iv. p. 8 (1877). 



Though this species was not gathered by Mr. Oliver, it was 

 found by the 'Challenger' Expedition "floating freely on the 

 surface in small bunches, inhabited by oceanic animals, thirty 

 miles distant from Raoul Island, Kermadecks, July 14, 1874. 

 Vesicles large, inch to 1|- inch long, elliptical subacute, and with 

 copious efflorescence of mannite " [Dickie MS. in herb.]. It is 

 represented in both the British Museum and Kew Herbarium, and 

 it appears to be identical with the CmyojyJiyllum angustifolium 

 collected by S. Berggren in New Zealand and described by J. G. 

 Agardh. We have not seen Agardh's type, but we find Dickie's 

 specimens to be exactly like that figured by Mr. R. M. Laing in 

 Trans. Proc. New Zealand Institute, xxxii. p. 67, pi. v. fig. 1 (1899), 

 which was found by him in the Bay of Islands, " apparently from 

 the same tidal pools from which Berggren obtained it." Mr. 

 Laing redescribes the species {loc. cit.), and what he says of his 

 plant applies to the 'Challenger' specimens. These latter may be 

 presumed to have drifted across to the Kermadec group from the 

 north end of New Zealand.

Carpoijlujllum plumosum J. Ag., no. 1359. Cast up on Denham 

 Bay Beach, Sunday Island. Mr. Oliver says : " This species, as 

 well as C. maschalocarjmm, DurviUcea sp., and Hormosira Banksii, 

 do not, I think, live in Sunday Island waters, but are brought by 

 ocean currents. They are found washed up on the beaches, and 

 usually have barnacles attached to them."
