M. EEPENS Hauck, 1879, p. 22; Kuckuck, 1899, p. 21, PI. Ill (of 

 reprint); P. B.-A., No. 2025; Dichosporangium repens Hauck, 1885, 

 p. 339, fig. 141. In fronds of Castagnea Zosterae, Cooper's Island, 

 April, CoUins. The creeping filaments bear abundant unilocular 

 sporangia; the erect filaments bear each a terminal cluster of pluri- 

 locular sporangia; no unilocular sporangia were seen on the erect 

 filaments. Streblonema sphaericum, with both kinds of sporangia, 

 accompanies the Myriotrichia. As pointed out by Kuckuck, it is 

 practically impossible to distinguish the two species when both bear 

 only unilocular sporangia, as is often the case; the presence of erect 

 filaments in Myriotrichia and their absence in Streblonema is the only 

 distinguishing character.

 plant seems to be the same as that from the Danish West Indies, we 

 provisionally give the same name used by Borgesen. It was distrib- 

 uted by us as C. mediterranea (Kiitz.) Bornet, but is not Cladosiphon 

 mediterraneus Kiitzing, as shown by comparison with an authentic 

 specimen of the latter, for which we are indebted to the kindness of
