This plant (sterile) bears much resemblance to young prostrate conditions of 

 Zonaria variegata in habit and color, in the apical margin of large cells, and in 

 general structure, but seems to differ in the usually thinner and more closely ad- 

 herent thallus, the absence of frequent or occasional mats or tufts of brown rhiz- 

 oids, and, under the compound microscope. In the more translucent thallns with a 

 more obviously tessellated dorsal surface, 4—16 cells of the dorsal epidermis corre- 

 sponding to one of the large medullary cells, while in Z. variegata 1—4 (more 

 elongate) epidermal cells corresjmnd to and overlie a single large medullary cell ; 

 and, in section, the dorso-ventrallty is seen to be more pronounced, the dorsal epi- 

 dermis always consisting of more numerous and smaller cells than the ventral epi- 

 dermis, while in Z. variegata the two epidermal layers are essentially the same.
