70- Twenty-Second Annual Report on State Cabinet. 



fltcus vesciculosus, l. 



Same range as the preceding species, and quite as plentiful. 

 These two species may be found on almost any part of our coast, 

 growing freely on the rocky shores and cast up by the tide on the 

 sandy ones. The inhabitants of some parts of Long Island use 

 these plants, with Zostera and other rejectamenta of the sea, as fer-' 

 tilizers of the soil. 



FlTCUS CEEANOIDES, L. 



Bay Ridge, L. Is. Brainerd. The specimens are sterile, and the 

 species must remain, to some extent, in doubt. 



Fucus scoepioides, Fl. Dan. 



Left by the tide. Fort Hamilton and Canarsie Bay. 



Cladostephtjs spongiosus, Ag. 



Floating. Orient Point. Brainerd. October. 



Aspekococcus echinatus, Grev. 



Stones between tide marks. Flushing. Brainerd. May. 



Dictyosiphon fosniculaceus, Grev. 

 Canarsie Bay. Brainerd. June. 



Stilophora rhizodes, J. Ag. 



Thrown up by waves and tide. Greenport and Orient Point. 

 September. 



Desmakestia vieidis, Lamour. 



Low tide. College Point. June. This species has a peculiar 

 property, causing the rapid decomposition of red algae that may be 

 placed in a vessel with it. 



Choedaeia flagelliformis, Ag. 



Thrown up by the tide. Orient Point. September. 



Choedaeia divaeicata, Ag. 



On Leathesia tuberiformis and other seaweeds. Coney Island. 

 June. 



Mesogloia vermiculaeis, Ag.? 



Ground between tide marks. Canarsie Bay. Brainerd. July. 

 Though apparently this species, a cross section of the frond 

 reveals the structure of Chordaria. 



Chorda filum, Stack. 



Rocks near low-water mark and extending into deep water. 

 Orient Point. September.
