Alaria laticosta Kjelknan. 



In the sublitoral zone in protected coves. Knkak Bay, 

 Alaska. Saunders (1901, p. 425). 



Saunders says that "Kjellman referred the plants sent him to 

 this species with considerable doubt." Quoting Kjellman, lie 

 says: — "The form, color, and consistency of the blade, and the 

 form, width and rigidity of the sporophyll differ somewhat from 

 this species." 



Alaria lanceolata Kjellman. 



On rocks in the litoral and sublitoral zones. West shore of 

 Amaknak Island, Bay of Unalaska, Alaska, Tr.A.»S". and A.A.L., 

 No. 3249!, in Collins, Holden and Setchell, P. B.-A., No. xli! ; 

 <Tlarier Bay and Sitka. Alaska, Saunders (1901, p. 426). 



This species is, according to a report from Kjellman, the 

 A. dolichorJiachis? , distributed as No. xli of the P. B.-A., but 

 he adds that the blade is not so dark as in his specimens. We 

 find, however, that in some of the specimens of that collection 

 the blade is much darker than in the one sent for his inspection. 



Alaria marginata P. & R. 



Unalaska. Alaska, Postels and Uwprecht (1840, p. 11). 



Besides the reference above, Harvey (1862, p. 165) has credited 

 this species doubtfully to Escpiimalt, B. C. Rupreeht (1851, 

 p. 355; says that the species is rare and had occurred to him 

 lately only from Fort Ross on the Californian coast. It is 

 evidently a species with a broad solid midrib, a short cylindrical 

 stipe, long and rather narrow sporophylls, and in most ways, as 

 far as the incomplete description goes, resembling the A. laticosta 

 of Kjellman. 



Alaria fistulosa P. & R. 



Gregarious, on rocks and stones, in the sublitoral zone. From 

 the Kurile Islands and Northern Japan to the southeastern 

 boundary of Alaska. For the species in general the following 

 localities are recorded in our territory: — Unalaska Bay and 

 Kadiak Island, Alaska, Postels and Rupreeht (1840, p. 11); Kukak 

 Bay. Cook Inlet, Prince William Sound, Yakutat Bay, Glacier 

 Bay, Juneau, and Wrangell, Alaska, Saunders (1901, p. 426).
