Litoralj growing in rock-pooLs or mo st frequently on 

 fstones and rocks in the lower part of the zone. It is a pe- 



r 



lagian plant which mainly occurs on open shore and best 

 devel oped on mucli exposed places. Sometimes, however, it 

 also penetrates into the deeper bays. Thus I found it at 

 Kirkenæs in Sydvaranger pretty plentiful, but the specimens 

 Wete small and somewhat stunted. It often grows gregari- 

 ous in large number, for inst, at Kjollefjord and Finkong- 

 kjeilen, so as to determine considerably the character of the 

 vegetation. I do not know when the species develops its re- 

 prodnctive organs, probably in the autiimn. At West-Fin- 

 marken I have seen it bearing sporocarps in the later half 

 of August and in September. 



Distrihution : In the western part of the district pret- 

 ty common and abundant, in the eastern part less common 

 and somewhat local, but at some places abundant, and en- 

 ters pretty far into the deep fjords.
