1. C. FASTiGiATA Montagne, 1838, p. 19, PI. II, fig. 3; Collins, 

 1909, p. 411. Dingle Bay, March, Hervey; Hungry Bay, April, 

 Collins. Fine, Vaucheria-like tufts or mats on mangroves and other 

 objects near low water mark. The Hungry Bay material seems to be 

 the floating form known as var. confenoides Crouan. 



2. C. PUSILLA (Kutz.) J. G. Agardh, 1872, p. 6; Weber, 1898, 

 p. 266, PI. XX, fig. 6; Vickers, 1908, p. 25, PI. XXXVIII; Collins, 

 1909, p. 412; P. B.-A., No. 2019. Stephanocoelium pusillum Kiitzing, 

 1847, p. 54. Tide pool, Harris Bay, Oct., Nov., Hervey. The 

 branching stolon creeps over the loose sand etc., on the bottom of the 

 pool, forming with other small algae a thin but firm turf, which has to 

 be forcibly torn apart to show the character of the plant. The ramuli 

 are in two or three whorls; in the Bermuda plants these whorls are 

 more closely set than in the forms figured by Mme. Weber and Miss 

 Vickers, and can often be distinguished only by dissection.
