At East-Finmarken I have only met with this species 

 in the lower part of the litoral zone, on stones or attached 

 to Fuais vesimlosus and Ehodymenia palmata. Here it ap- 

 pears to prefer sheltered places, I atleast have only se en it 

 in the inner part of deep bays. The specimens were small, 



I 



only 6—10 cm. long. In July it was steril. At West-Kn- 

 marken I have tåken it with sporocarps in the middle of 



Augnst.
