Family RHODOPHYLLIDACE^E. 



Cystoclonium gracilarioides Harvey. 



Upper sublitoral zone. Esquinialt, B. C, Harvey (1862, p. 

 171); Port Angeles, Clallam County, Wash., Lichtenthaler! 



The type specimen is sterile, but the Port Angeles specimen has 

 cystoearps and is certainly a member of this genus, although we 

 feel somewhat uncertain as to whether it is the species of Harvey 

 or not. It does not seem to differ essentially from the New 

 England forms of C. purpurascens . 



Agardhiella tenera (J. Agardh) Schmitz. 



On rocks in the upper sublitoral zone. "North West Coast," 

 Harvey (1852. p. 154, pi. 23 B, under Bhabdonia Coulter i) ; 

 Puget Sound, Harvey and Bailey (1851, p. 371, under Hypncea 

 Coulteri), Bailey and Harvey (1862, p. 162, under Bhabdonia 

 Coulteri): Esquimalt, B. C, Harvey (1862, p. 170, under Bhab- 

 dania Coulteri): west coast of Whidbey Island, Wash., N.L.G., 

 Xos. 130!, 131!; Traeyton, Kitsap County, Wash., Tilden, No. 

 217!, under Bhabdonia Coulteri. 



There seems to be no difference between the species of the 

 eastern and western coasts, and consequently we feel justified in 

 assigning the Bhabdonia Coulteri Harvey (or Agardhiella Coulteri 

 (Harvey) Setchell, in Collins, Holden and Setchell, P. B.-A., No. 

 333. 1897) to the Agardhiella tenera (J. Agardh) Schmitz. 



Turnerella Mertensiana (P. & R.) Schmitz, 



Cast ashore, apparently from deep water. Shumagin Islands, 

 Alaska, Saunders (1901, p. 435); Unga, Alaska, A.A.L., No. 

 5054!: Kukak Bay, Alaska, Saunders, No. 352!; Puget Sound, 

 Bailey and Harvey (1862, p. 163, under Iridcea Mertensiana); 

 Victoria, B. C, Harvey (1862, p. 174, under Iridcea 'Mertensiana) . 



We are vein' uncertain about the occurrence of this species 

 within the limits of our territory. The type of the Iridcea Mer- 

 tensiana of Poslels and Rupreeht came from the Ochotsk Sea. 

 Kjellman (1889, p. 32) found it not uncommon on the shores of 

 Bering Island, but sterile. The plant of Harvey from Victoria 

 was only a fragment. We have been aide to examine one of
