 — Fig. 6 . Va ucheria polysperma. — Fig. 7 . Vaucheria repens. 



PLATE VII. 



Figures of Lemania torulosa after Kutzing. Fig. 1. Represents 

 the external cellular character of the filaments. Fig. 2. 

 Shows the internal, spherical, and loosely aggregated cells, 

 with some of the articulated sporules resting upon them. 

 Figs. 3, 4, and 5. Exhibit the arrangement of the beaded 

 and articulated spores within the inflated portions of the

 from the filament. Fig. 7. The same more highly magni- 

 fied. Figs. 8, 9, 10, and 11. Germinating spores. 



PLATE VIII. 



Figs. 1, 2. Bangia fusco-purpurea. The first figure re- 

 presents the species in its young condition, in which the 

 endochrome of the cells is homogeneous, and the second the

 phora elegans. — Figs. 5 and 6. Chcetophora pisiformis. 

 The latter figure copied from Berkeley, and exhibiting the 

 very rare capsular fructification. — Figs. 7 and 8. Chceto-
