70. TweEnty-SEconpD ANNUAL Report on STATE CABINET. 
Fucus vescicutosus, Z. 
Same range as the preceding species, and quite as plentiful. 
These two species may be found on almost any part of our coast, 
growing freely on the rocky shores and cast up by the tide on the 
sandy ones. The inhabitants of some parts of Long Island use 
these plants, with Zostera and other rejectamenta of the sea, as fer- 
tilizers of the soil. 
Focus ceranores, Z. 
Bay Ridge, L. Is. Brainerd. The specimens are sterile, and the 
species must remain, to some extent, in doubt. 
Fucus scorrtowess, 77. Dan. 
Left by the tide. Fort Hamilton and Canarsie Bay. 
CLADOSTEPHUS sPoNGIosUS, Ag. 
Floating. Orient Point. Brainerd. October. 
ASsPEROCOCCUS ECHINATUS, (7ev. 
Stones between tide marks. Flushing. Brainerd. May. 
DicryostIPHON FENICULACEUs, 7ev. 
Canarsie Bay. Brainerd. June. 
SrILOPHORA RHIZODES, -/. Ag. 
Thrown up by waves and tide. Greenport and Orient Point. 
September. 
DesMARESTIA VirIDIS, Lamour. 
Low tide. College Point. June. This species has a peculiar 
property, causing the rapid decomposition of red algee that may be 
placed in a vessel with it. 
CHORDARIA FLAGELLIFORMIS, Ag. 
Thrown up by the tide. Orient Point. September. 
CHORDARIA DIVARICATA, Ag. 
On Leathesia tuberiformis and other seaweeds. Coney Island. 
June. 
MEsOGLOIA VERMICULARIS, Ag.? 
Ground between tide marks. Canarsie Bay. Brainerd. July. 
Though apparently this species, a cross section of the frond 
reveals the structure of Chordaria. 
Cuorpa FituM, Stach. 
Rocks near low-water mark and extending into deep water. 
Orient Point. September.
