Family DERBESIACE^E. 



Derbesia vaucheriaeformis (Harv.) J. Ag. 



On a sponge in Yakutat Bay (234). 



Filaments 3040 /JL in diameter, simple below, dichotomous above,

 base ; zoosporangia ovoid or pyriform, 140-200 by 50-80 /*, short-pedi- 

 celled. 



As there are no mature spores on this specimen, there is a possible 

 doubt as to the identification, but the characters agree well with the 

 species named.
