U. confervicolum, Lagh. Prof. Moebius remarks :— I observed 
specimens of this species upon (Edogonium filaments. The cells are 
6 » thick and 2-3 times as long. The position of the point of adhesion 
has in this instance also the condition as I have described it for the 
Javanese form of this alga.” (Ber. d. deutsch. bot. Ges., 1893, vol. x1.,
