S.paniculcdHm, Kiitz., was frequently confused by older writers 

 witn the present species. Reinke, 1. c, has fully gone into the 

 question and has pointed out the inaccuracies in previous 

 descriptions S. paniculatum may be distinguished from 8. funi- 

 mtare by the characteristic fertile frond with sori consisting of a 

 multicellular placenta, and numerous sessile unilocular sporangia. 



Distribution. Australia, New Zealand, Cape Horn.

G. stirtata, Ag. in Harvey Gibson's New Zealand List has been 

 pointed out by Laing to be G. angulata. Thus the former plant 

 is still only known from the Cape ; it is distinct from G. angulata 

 as explained by J. Agardh, Epicr. p. 197.

Stenogramme interrupta, Mont, in Duchartre Rev. Bot. 184G,

This interesting alga, though not general in its distribution, has 



various quarters of the world. It is locally 

 abundant, but sporadic, and appears to be most frequent in certain 

 localities of New Zealand. It is, however, also known from 

 Australia, Florida, California and Japan. In Europe it is very 

 rare, but has been collected on the coast of Devon, in the North of 

 France, and in Spain. 



The Chatham Islands specimens, of which both cystocarpic and 

 tetrasporic plants were received, are somewhat more robust than 

 those of Europe.
