Hahitat. Growing scattered on stony bottom in the deeper parts of the sublitoral 

 zone, in localities exposed to the open sea. Found with tetrasporangia in Jnly at 

 Nordlanden. 



Geogr. Distrib. Though t.hi,s species is found in the Atlantic as well as the arctic 

 region of the Polar Sea, it is rare here and beyond its proper sphere. The most nor- 

 thern locality where it has been collected is Geese Islands in Icefjord on the west coast 

 of Spitzbergen about Lat. N. 78° 30'. 



Localities: The Norivegian Polar Sea: Nordlanden at Givser. 



The Greenland Sea: at the place just mentioned on the west coast of Spitzbergen. 

 One individual found. 



The White Sea: Tri-Ostrowa. One specimen.

Hahitat. This species is sublitoral, usually growing scattered within different 

 formations of alga3. I have found it most numerous and luxuriant together with La- 

 minariacece in the most easterly part of the Siberian Sea. It prefers exposed coasts,

 Arctic Sea it reaches its highest development in suramer and early autumn. At this 

 time it possesses in great numbers those organs which are explained as procarps by
