(1S02, p. 30) in giving the distribution of his Funis Nootlianus 

 refers to Nootka Sound as though it were in the southern hemi- 

 sphere. It seems doubtful to us as to whether Turner's plant 

 may really be Hypnea musciformis and there seems a possibility 

 that it mar be Bonnemaisonia liamifera. 



Family RHODYMENIACE.E. 



Fauchea laciniata J. Agardh. Plate 25. 



Rarely east ashore. West coast of Whidbey Island, Wash., 

 X.L.G.. No. 240! 



This species, which occurs also on the coast of California, is 

 represented from our territory by both tetrasporic and cystocarpic 

 specimens. The plants have the type of frond characteristic of 

 this species, but it is by the tetrasporic specimens that it is the 

 mure certainly told from the following.

Cast ashore from deep water. West coast of Whidbey Island, 

 Wash., X.L.G., No. 45!, and in Collins, Holden and Setchell,

Readdy told from the preceding, especially by the tetrasporic 

 plant, as may be seen by comparing figure 30 on plate 19 with 

 figure 43 on plate 25.
