The Reproductive Organs! in Turnerella 

 septemtrionalis.

In Rosen vinges Grønlands Havalger 1 ) p.817 Prof. Schmitz 

 refers Callymenia septemtrionalis Kjel lm. 2 ) to Turnerella, a new 

 genus founded on Schizymenia Mertensiana (Post. et R up r.) 

 J. A g. 3 ) as the type. He found the structure of the carpogon to 

 accord with that of the named genus, and the presence of cellulae 

 glandulinae in the cortical layer of the frond also rendered it most 

 probable, that it should be referred to the genus Turnerella, as 

 such are wanting in Callymenia, vvhich it in other respects rather 

 resembles. 



As mentioned by Kjellman i. c. this species occurs at 

 Spitzbergen, Novaya Zemlya and the northern part of the Norwe- 

 gian coast. I have myself met with it at several places from 

 Tromso to the western part of East-Finmarken 4 ), but nearly al- 

 ways young and very small specimens, which mostly have been 

 fastened to Lithothamnia. The last two years I met with sterile 

 specimens of an alga resembling that species at some places in 

 the Trondhjem Fjord, frequently larger than farther north, but
