Farlowia mollis (Harvey and Bailey) Parlow and Setchell. 



On rocks in the upper part of the sublitoral zone. Paget 

 Sound, Harvey and Bailey (1851, p. 372), Bailey and Harvey 

 (1862, p. 163, pi. 6, f. 3, 4), both under Gigartina mollis; 

 Strait of Juan de Fuca, Harvey (1862, p. 173, under Gigartina 

 mollis) ; Port Renfrew, B. C, Butler and Pallet/, Nos. 86! , 122! ; 

 west coast of Whidbey Island, Wash., N.L.G., Nos. 113!, 

 214!, 239! 



As stated under No. 898 of Collins, Holden and Setchell, 

 P. B.-A., the plant named Gigartina mollis by Harvey aud 

 Bailey is really a Farlowia and closely related to, perhaps iden- 

 tical with, Farlowia compressa J. Agardh. It is, however, a 

 smaller, thinner, usually more piunate plant than the type of 

 that species. Californian specimens have been distributed under 

 the number of the P. B.-A. quoted above. 



Sarcophyllis arctica Kjellmau. 



On rocks in tide pools in the literal zone and in the upper 

 sublitoral zone. Port Clarence, Alaska, Kjellman (1889, p. 28) ; 

 west shore of Amakuak Island, Bay of Unalaska, Alaska, W.A.8. 

 and A.A.L., Nos. 3243! , 5042! ; near Iliuliuk, Unalaska, Alaska, 

 W.A.S. and A.A.L., No. 4072!; Shumagin Islands, Alaska, 

 Saunders (1901, p. 441, under Dilsea arctica); Unga, Alaska, 

 A.A.L., No. 5053!; Karluk, Kadiak Island, Alaska, W.A.8., 

 No. 5067!; Uyak Bay, Kadiak Island, Alaska, W.A.S. and 

 A.A.L., No. 5079a! 



We prefer to retain the generic name Sarcophyllis for this 

 gvnus, in preference to the name Dilsea, since for some twenty- 

 five or more years it has been used, and the name Dilsea, doubtful 

 and resurrected only recently from oblivion, has no rights from 

 usage . 



Sarcophyllis Californica J. Agardh. 



On rocks in the upper sublitoral zone. Unga, Alaska, J, B. 

 Downing, No. 5786!; Orca, Alaska, Saunders, No. 313!, (1901, 

 p. 441, under Dilsea Californica); Port Renfrew, B. C, Butler 

 and Policy, Nos. 71!, 80!; west coast of Whidbey Island, 

 Wash., N.L.G., Nos. 274!, 283!; San Juan Island, Wash., 

 Tilden, No. 323!, under Turnerella Mertensiana.
