Ulva defraota, Withering. Coldingham shore, after a storm ; Hev. 

 Mr Campbell. It is in some respects an interesting sea-weed, — 

 mostly so in this ; that no one seems yet to have detected a speci- 

 men with the slightest aj)pearance of a root. Mr C.'s specimens 

 were equally imperfect. The plant was first discovered on the 

 beach at Weymouth, by Major Yelley, and described by him in 

 Witheriug's Ai'rangement of British Plants. It was afterwards 

 found by Mr Brodie of Brodie, on the coast of Fife, who supplied 

 the specimens figured in English Botany ; and subsequently 

 Messrs Borrer and Hooker gathered it on the shores of the Orkney 

 Islands ; — so that, if a rare species, it has at least an extensive 

 geographical range. Dr Hooker says it is very unlike any other 

 ulva, " and has rather the appearance of animal matter," but the 

 opinion here hazarded has no foimdation. It is a true vegetable, 

 as I am perfectly satisfied by a careful examination of it, possessing 

 in fact the character of the genus Dumontia of Greville, who, 

 however, takes no notice of this species in his Algse Britannicse : 

 Dr Johnston.
