Habitat. This species is both literal and sublitoral on the coasts of Norway. In 

 other parts of the Polar Sea I have only found it sublitoral, usually in 2 — 15 fathoms, 

 on stony or rocky bottom, as an element of the formation of Laminariacece. It is usually 

 attached to stones. It prefers exposed coasts, but is not wanting in sheltered localities 

 either. Sometimes it occurs gregarious. It has not been found with reproductive 

 organs. 



Geogr. Distrib. It is known from all parts of the Arctic Sea, with the exception 

 of the Siberian Sea. The maximum of frequency is in the Spitzbergen province. The 

 most northern place where it has been collected is Discovery Bay in Smith Sound, 

 Lat. N. 81° 41'. 



Localities: The Norwegian Polar Sea: Nordlanden common; Troms5 amt about the 

 town of Troms5 and at CarlsO; Finmarken at Maas5, Gjesvser, and Talvik, at all these 

 places local but pretty abundant. 



The Greenland Sea: Sabine Island on the east coast of Greenland; it is the most 

 common and abundant Phceozoosporacea of Spitzbergen after Chcetopteris plumosa. 



The Murman Sea: the coast of Russian Lapland and Samoyede-land; Kolgujew 

 Isle; the west coast of Novaya Zemlya and Waygats common and abundant; the coast 

 of the continent at Jugor Shar. 



The White Sea: one of the commonest algse. 



The Kara Sea: Kara Bay; Uddebay. 



Baffin Bay: Cumberland Sound; the west coast of Greenland common according 

 to J. G. Agaedh. Known localities: Nanortalik, Smallesund, Fiskernses, Neuherrnhut, 

 Hunde Islands, Jakobshavn, Godhavn, Lat. N. 73° 20', Whale Islands, Besselsbay, Disco- 

 very Bay, Smith Sound between the 78:th and 82:d latitude.
