The sterile specimens of this variety have been collected at 
Hakodate, a port in the northern part of Japan. As they lacked 
the conceptacle I was not able to satisfactorily determine the 
species and included them under the Cor. officinalis L. The 
specimens collected at Port Renfrew are fortunately fertile and 
accord very well with the description and figures of Kiitzing’s 
Tab. Phyc. and at the same time correspond with the Hakodate 
specimens. 
As I before noted (/. c.), this plant is a somewhat variable 
form to be counted under the species Cor. officinalis L. 
Not very common; low-water mark, also in pools at the depth 
of 2-3 ft. below the surface.

Both forme approach one another and a sharp boundary is 
hard to draw. But f. ¢yféca is thicker and larger than the 
other and has abundance of linear or lanceolate long pinne in 
the upper part of the frond. The high tide form of this species 
assumes a diverse appearance; its stipes are thick and stunted,
