Ptilota asplenioides (Turn.) Ag. No. 82. Farlow, Auileisoii, aud Eaton, Alg. Exsicc. Am. Bor., No. ^'2. 

 Kjellmau, Beringshafvets Algflora; 32, 18?<9. 



riumaria aspUnioidrs Riipr., Tange Och. ; 232, 1851. 



This largest, coarsest, and deepest-colored species of all the genus occurs iu all 

 the collections from St. Paul and is further credited to it by Kuprecht. It must be 

 abundant along its shores aud constitute its most characteristic species. (Bering 

 Island.) 



Ptilota pectinata (Gnnn.) Kjellni. Kjellman, Beringshafvets AlgHora; 32, 1889. 



Specimens of this species occur in the collection made for I'rof. D. C. Eaton by the 

 Alaska Commercial Company in 1877. (St. Lawrence Island.) 



Ptilota filicina (Riipr.) J. Ag. 



A few specimens of what seems to be this species occur both in the collections of 

 the Albatross and those received from President Jordan. It is not always easy to 

 tell this species from P. plumosa or P. serrata. 



Odonthalia kamtschatica (Kiipr.) J. Ag. Kjellmau, Beringshafvets Algriora; 23, 1889. 

 Atomaria kamlschatica Rnpr., Tange Och. ; 214, 232, 1851. 



Kuowu to occur at St. Paul only through the reference iu Euprecht. 

 Rhodomela floccosa (Esp.) Ag. Kjcllmiinn. Beringshafvets Algliora; 24, 1889. 



The forms referred to this species from St. Paul ate by no means near the type of 

 the species. They are very nuich more slender than the ordinary Caliloruiau form, 

 resembling K. Uicopodioidcs iu this respect, but approaching R. larir in others, so that 

 the species as now understood aud ranging from San Diego to Bering Island presents 

 an infinite variety of forms as regards coarseness or fineness and even as regards the 

 flattening of its branches, the character upon which its claim to specific rank princi- 

 pally rests. (Bering Island.) 



Rhodomela larix (Turn.) A g. Kjellman, Beringshafvets Algflora; 24,1889. 

 Fuscaria larix Ruprecht, Tange Ocli. ; 219, 1851. 



Known from St. Paul only through this reference of Kuprecht's. (St. Lawrence 

 Island and Port Clarence.) 

 Nitophyllum ruprechtianum .1 . Ag. f 



Two more or less imperfect specimens of a large Nitophyllum of the Botryoglossum 

 section, but provided with neither cystocarps nor sori, jjrobably belong here. In the 

 absence of any kind of reproductive bodies, however, it is impossible to tell with 

 certainty. They were collected by Messrs. Greeley and Snodgrass. 



Nitophyllum ruthenicum (P. ami K.) Kjellm. Kjellman, Beringshafvets Algflora; 25, PI. I, f. 11, 

 12, 18?<9. 

 The sj^ecimens refeired to this species were seen in Herb. Farlow at Harvard 

 University and were collected at St. Paul Island by Mr. White. They are young and 

 more or less incomplete plants; consequently they do not show the habit very well. 

 This is, however, quite variable, judging from Kjellman's figures (I.e.). The si>eci- 

 mens of Mr. White are tetrasporic and have microscopic veins, at least at the base. 

 With the exception of the veins, they resemble very closely N. spectahile 1). C. Ii^aton, 

 of the Californian coast. (Bering Island.) 



Delesseria crassifolia Rujir. Ruprecht, Tange Och.; 232, 1851. Farlow, Proc. Amir. Acad., 21; 473, 

 1886. 

 D. crassifolia is a large and apparently characteristic species of the Pribilof
