Notas, quas refert Nyländer e textura cephalodiornm 

 sumtas ut gonidia siro.sophonoidea, scytonenioidea, nodulos 

 goniniico8, rainime inveni constantes. Th. Fries illustr. Mono- 

 graphus generis Stereocauli in Lich. Scand. p. 43 contendit: 

 »haic diversa gonidia in eodem specimine et quidem in eodem 

 cephalodio inveniri et eas nil aliud esse quam diversa evolu- 

 tionis stadia algse cuiusdam parasitantis», id quod Forssell 

 (in Stud. öfver Cephalodierna p. 74) perqnisite affirmavit. 

 Unde patet, eos eliaracteres non esse idoneos ad species di- 

 stinguendas.
