Nereis Britannica was “ under preparation for the press,’’ Stackhouse 
supplied Withering with ‘‘ references to the plates and likewise ee 
characters and specimens of the nondescript species’’ it wa 
contain. Withering published descriptions of these waar error 
in Sou third edition of his Systematic Arrangement of British Plants 
vol. iv. p. 101), which appeared in 1796, the year before the

Fucus echinatus, a figure of which appears side by side with that of 
F. stellatus on Plate xii. of the Nereis; and it seems, from the above 
quoted description, that he rightly considered it identical with 
F. stellatus. I have examined the specimen of his F’. stellatus 
presented to the Linnean Society by Stackhouse, and it un-

with the characteristic cystocarps.) — f. genuina (= F. echinatus
