Habitat. It grows sublitoral on gravelly bottom in 5 — 10 fathoms on exposed or 

 sheltered coasts. The individuals occur scattered. In the Arctic Sea it bears spores 

 in July and at the beginning of August. 



Geogr. Distrib. Found in the Greenland Sea and the eastern Murman Sea. It 

 is here more luxuriant than in the Atlantic. The northernmost locality where it has 

 been taken is Smeerenberg Bay on the north-west coast of Spitzbergen Lat. N. 79° 45'. 



Localities: The Greenland Sea: the west coast of Spitzbergen, local and scarce. 



The Murman Sea: the west coast of Novaya Zemlya and Waygats, local and scarce.

Remark on the species. I have at present comparatively very rich collections of
