This variety has been gathered in many places on the 

 eastern coast of Greenland. It mostly grows on other algae, 

 such as Polysiplionia arctica, Euthora cristata, Ptilota ijecti- 

 nata, etc. Its normal length seems to be 2 cm., but a few 

 specimens attain a greater length, up to 3 cm. Glandular cells 

 were frequent. The main part of the material gathered in June 

 and July is sterile, and only a few plants collected in the latter 

 part of June had normally developed tetraspores. It was col- 

 lected in a depth of 3 — 5 and up to 30 fathoms.

This species seems to occur just as frequently on the eastern 

 as on the western coast of Greenland. The material collected in 

 January and May — September was sterile. The largest specimens 

 were 20 cm. long. Found in a depth of 3 — 19 ( — 30) fathoms.

The specimens I have had for examination were collected 

 in May, June and July, and are almost all sterile ; only a few 

 abnormally developed, but conspicuously quartered tetrasporangia 

 were found in a sample gathered in July. The specimens attain
