Muir Glacier (Trelease, ioojc) ; Unalaska (Setchell) ; St. Matthew 

 Island (Trelease, ion) ; Cape Nome (Setchell). Rothrock reports 

 it from St. Matthew Island, and Macoun from St. Paul and St. 

 George Islands. Under the synonym Gyrophora proboscidea Dr.

The specimen from Muir Glacier is doubtfully referred here. It 

 is small, with branching fibrils beneath. The development of fibrils 

 on this specimen is much more evident than on the more mature speci 

 mens.
