Tendo: CORALLINE VEUVE. 719 



mediis superioribusque oblongo-cuneatis compressis, pinnarum 

 sterilium linearibus vel lanceolatis ancipitibus, ultimis compres- 

 sis obovatis ; conceptaculio pedunculatis subcompressis saepe 

 corniculatis. Color rubro-violaceus. 



Corallina officinalis chilensis Kiitz., Tab. phyc., VIII., p. 32, 

 taf. 66, Fig. i. 



Cor. officinalis L. f. d Yendo. Cor. verae Japan., PI. VII., 

 Fig. 13 (Journ. Sc. Coll. Tokyo, Vol. XVI.). 



The sterile specimens of this variety have been collected at 

 Hakodate, a port in the northern part of Japan. As they lacked 

 the conceptacle I was not able to satisfactorily determine the 

 species and included them under the Cor. officinalis L. The 

 specimens collected at Port Renfrew are fortunately fertile and 

 accord very well with the description and figures of Kiitzing's 

 Tab. Phyc. and at the same time correspond with the Hakodate 

 specimens. 



As I before noted (/. c.), this plant is a somewhat variable 

 form to be counted under the species Cor. officinalis L. 



Not very common ; low-water mark, also in pools at the depth 

 of 2-3 ft. below the surface. 



8. Corallina vancouveriensis sp. nov. PI. LIV., Fig. 3 ; PI. 



LV., Figs, i and 2 ; PL LVI., Figs. 16-17. 



Fronde 5-15 cm. alta, multicipite, longe stipitata, ramis bi-tri- 

 pinnatis, ssepe pinnulis ex apice articuli egredientibus ; articulis 

 infinis globosis, mediis superioribusque subclavatis diametro 

 aequalibus vel 2-plo longioribus tereti-compressis, ultimis obo- 

 vatis subcompressis ; articulis pinnarum cylindraceis linearibus 

 vel alato-projectis digitalis ; conceptaculis globosis vel pyriform- 

 ibus stipitatis, saepe corniculatis. 



f. typica, f. nov. (PI. LIV., Fig. 3 ; PL LVI., Fig. 16.) 



Fronde plena articulorum linearum vel alato-projectorum digi- 

 tatorum, conceptaculis globosis longe stipitatis. 



f. densa, f. nov. (PL LV., Fig. i ; PL LVI., Fig. 17.) 



Fronde dense ramosa, conceptaculis pyriformibus pedunculatis. 

 Both formae approach one another and a sharp boundary is 

 hard to draw. But f. typica is thicker and larger than the 

 other and has abundance of linear or lanceolate long pinnae in 

 the upper part of the frond. The high tide form of this species 

 assumes a diverse appearance ; its stipes are thick and stunted,
