Neither of them has been recorded more than once, though Rhipido. 
siphon occurs in herbaria under another name. Having been so 
fortunate as to discover some new facts praca ~ — we 
believe that the following notes, with the accompa 2 figures 
will be of considerable aid to sleclagistad in the identification of the 
sla nts. 
ib RuIPIDOSIPHON 
This genus, which was founded by Montagan’ in Prodr. Phycolog. 
Antarct. 1842, p. 14, and was placed in Siphonee, has long been a 
standing puzzle to algologists. Montagne described it as a fan- 
shaped thallus with dichotomous and anastomosing filaments. The 
single species It. ee was collected by Hombron off Java, and 
has n ever been recorded since. When Madame Weber van Bosse 
kindly entr a ug with the working es of the Codiacee of the 
Siboga Expedition to the Dutch East Indies, we hoped to find 
specimens of Rhipidosiphon. There were several plants aaa like 
it in size and habit, but we were unable to detect in any of them 
the characteristic anastomosis described and fi mae by Montagne 
in Dumont-d'Urville’s Voyage au Péle Sud, Bot. i. (1845), p. 23,
