Among the specimens from Praslin were some overgrown by a sponge; the branches 
thus hemmed in were obviously less branched and more cylindrical than the free-growing 
ones. The specimens from Mahé, Terné, are exactly like those from Mexico in Kitzing’s 
herbarium and figured in Tab. Phye., Band xvili. tab. 27. The specimens from the 
other localities are like those gathered by Harvey at the Friendly Islands, No. 44, and 
by Schmarda on the west coast of Ceylon. There is a difference between Harvey’s and 
Schmarda’s specimens, but both being barren I abstained from further examination. 
4. HYPNEA spec. 
Amirante, 25 firs. 
An indeterminable specimen, altered perhaps a little in consequence of the great 
depth at which it grew. 
Fam. RHODYMENIACE. 
Faucuea, Montagne et Bory. 
1, FAUCHEA MICROSPORA, Born. 
Bornet in Rodriguez, Algas de las Baleares, 1889, p, 253, et in Bull. Soc. Bot. t. xxxvii. 1890, 
p. 142. 
Saya de Malha, 53 fms.; dry specimens. 
Distribution. Mediterranean. 
The plants are all barren, but the whole outward appearance of these algze corresponds 
so well with the description given by Bornet that I feel no doubt that they belong to 
this species.
