130 ALLAN HANCOCK PACIFIC EXPEDITIONS VOL. 3 



(2) RHODYMENIA STIPITATA KyUn, Mar. Red Algae of Fri- 



day Harbor (1925), p. 41, fig. 23. 



"This species is nearly related to Rhodymenia pertusa, but it differs 

 in having a thicker, non-perforated blade. The cystocarps are somewhat 

 larger, but not so densely scattered in R. stipitata as in R. pertusa." — 

 Kylin. 



Distribution. — The type specimen from San Juan Island, Washing- 

 ton, on piles of Friday Harbor docks; British Columbia. 



(3) RHODYMENIA PERUVIANA J. Ag., Sp. II (1851), p. 378, 



Epic, p. 329; Howe, Mar. Alg. Peru (1914), p. 126, f^g. 40. 

 Distribution. — The type specimen "ex oris Peruviae meridionalis." 

 According to Howe, not since collected and probably not occurring 

 within the present limits of Peru. 



(4) RHODYMENIA CUNEIFOLIA Okam., Notes on Algae from 



Pac. Coast of Tiba Pref. (1934), p. 17, pi. VII (1). 



"The nearest ally of the present plant is R. peruviana Howe from 

 which it differs in its more widely cuneate segments, by not having deeply 

 lobed apical segments and in not being gelatinous." Okamura quoted the 

 authority of R. peruviana as Howe instead of J. Agardh. 



As Taylor recently suggested, Phyllophora ciineifolia may prove to be 

 a Rhodymenia, in which case Okamura's species will have to yield to 

 priority. 



Distribution. — Provs. Kadusa, Bosyu (Bay of Tateyama) Tiba 

 Pref., Japan. 



( 5 ) RHODYMENIA SANGUINEA Harv., in Hook., Fl. N. Zeal., 



vol. II (1855), p. 248; De Toni et Forti, Alghe di Australia, 



Tasmania, e Nuova Zelanda (1923), p. 30, tab. IV (VII), 



figs. 1-3. 



"This is a large species, to 14 inches high, fronds deeply divided. The 



tetraspores are scattered over the laciniae, not in irregular sori as in 



R. palmata."- — Harvey. 



Distribution. — The type specimen from Foveaux Strait, New Zea- 

 land. 



(6) RHODYMENIA LANCEOLATA Harv., in Hook., Flor. N. 

 Zeal., vol. II (1855), p. 248. 



"Possibly a form of the preceding but is softer in substance and has a 

 more highly developed cortex. The tetraspores as in R. sanguinea." —
