Sargassum vulgare, Ag. Seaconnet, Bristol Ferry, and Stone 
Bridge in Rhode Island. Specimens of this were found by Mr. 
Thurber and myself growing, attached to stones, below low wa- 
ter mark at Seaconnet Point, R.I. I afterwards found fine speci- 
mens at the other localities above mentioned. Harvey remarks, 
that it is “a native of the tropics,” and only occasionally drifted 
to the shores of England; hence the discovery of it, growing 
attached to rocks on the coast of Rhode Island is one of consid- 
erable interest. 
Sargassum bacciferum, Ag. Gulf weed. Floating in the 
Gulf Stream. My specimens were collected by Lieut. Knowlton, 
U.S. Army.

but I must caution the fair Algologists who may visit this spot, (some of whom I 
hope may et rival in celebrity those distinguished English ladies, Mrs. Griffiths and 
Miss Hutchins,) that unless t ey are careful the tide may cut off their retreat from 
these rock bound bays, and leave them in a predicament from which no Edi 
Ochiltree could relieve them.
