Corallinaceae 
by M. Foslie — Trondhjem. 
Along the coasts of Asia from the Indian Ocean, eastward to 
the North Pacific Ocean and farther up to the Bering Sea the 
tracts have been almost unknown as regards the unarticulated cal 
careous Algae, setting aside a few species of Melobesia attached to 
other Algae, although on the other hand the other groups of Coral- 
linaceae do not seem to be considerably known. Some species 
are lately known from the Pacific coast of Japan, but otherwise as 
far as I know not a single species has been formerly quoted with 
any degree of certainty from the said extended coasts. Therefore, 
every contribution from these tracts may be of importance as 
regards the knowledge of these up to late times rather neglected 
Algae and their geographic distribution. 
During the Danish expedition to Siam 1899-—-1900 some cal- 
careous Algae were collected in different places in the Gulf of Siam. 
The collection certainly comprehends but a small number of species 
which are to be recorded below, giving however some interesting 
facts as to the distribution of these Algae. The species not formerly 
described will be pictured on a subsequent occasion. 
Mr. Th. Reinbold of Itzehoe has been kind enough to deter- 
mine Amphiroa and Corallina.
