forming a shoulder on the upper side ; vesicles ovate, with a narrow base, and 

 a contracted subtubular orifice. 



176. D. Evansii. — Branches opposite; cells opposite, short. 



Sol. Ellis, Zooph. 69. — Found at Yarmouth, by Mr Evans. 



Height 2 inches; very slender; of a bright yellow colour; vesicles " arise 

 from opposite branches, which proceed from the creeping adhering tube, lo- 

 bated, and the lobes are placed opposite to one another." 



177. T). pinnata. — Branches dusky, bifarious, alternate; cells 

 opposite, tubular, and slightly diverging.

Brit. Fauna, 213 On oyster-beds, common. 



Height 2 or 3 inches ; stems arising from ii'regular tubular roots ; branches 

 rather stiff; cells narrow, where adhering to the stem ; summit free, tubular, 

 but less divergent than in S. rosacea. According to Pallas, the cells incline to 

 one side (a character I have failed to observe), and from which side the in- 

 versely conical vesicles, with their tubular ciliated summits, take their rise. 



178. D. nigra. — Stem ascending, black, pinnated, compress- 

 ed ; cells opposite, minute. 



Pall. El. 135. Jameson, Wem. Mem. 565 — Rare. 

 Height 4 inches ; branches rounded, linear, depressed, slender at the base ; 

 cells subtubular, minute ; vesicles on one side of the stem, subquadrangular. 

 — This species is stated by Pallas as occurring at Cornwall ; and, according to 

 Professor Jameson, it has been found on the Aberdeenshire coast, by that il- 

 lustrious botanist Robert Brown, Esq. 



Gen. LXV. THUIARIA.— Cells thin, and imbedded in the 

 substance of the stem and branches. 



179. T. Thuia. — Stem waved, branches dichotomously divid- 

 ed ; cells adpressed, or imbedded in the sides of the branches.

Pall. El. 140. Lamour. Cor. Flex. 193 On oyster-beds, common. 



Height upwards of a foot ; stem with alternate branches, which, falling off 

 on the lower part, give it a zig-zag appearance ; divisions of the branches 

 slightly tapering ; cells compressed, wide at the base, slightly tapering, short, 

 with a small orifice ; vesicles ovate, on a narrow short stallc, with a rounded 

 summit, having a subtubular mouth.

 branches ; cells adpressed^ subalternate.
