In Gonstantinea simplex Setchell (1901, p. 127), the proliferation 

 is also rosulate (of. Plate 18, f. 19-21). G. rosa-marina is not 

 so ample a plant as the next, but this may not hold when more 

 material is available for comparison. 



Constantinea Sitchensis P. & R. Plate 18. 



On rocks in the upper sublitoral zone, frequently east ashore 

 in considerable quantity. Sitka, Alaska, Pastels and Buprecht 

 (1840, p. 17) ; Victoria, B. C, Harvey (1862, p. 172) ; Esquimalt, 

 B. C, Tilden, No. 203! ; west coast of Whidbey Island, Wash..

We feel very certain of all the plants referred to this species, 

 but feel, also, that we may have referred some of this species to 

 the preceding, particularly the plant from Prince William Sound. 

 E. M. Freeman (1899a) has given a very formal account of the 

 structure of this species (under the name of Constantinea rosa- 

 marina) but has neglected to treat of the most important point, 

 viz.: the method of proliferation. 



Family NEMASTOMACEiti. 



Schizymenia Dubyi J. Agardh. 



Esquimalt, B. C, Harvey (1862, p. 174). 



We know nothing of this plant, but suspect that we may have 

 included it under Sarcophyllis California!. 



Schizymenia coccinea Harvey. 



In 14 fathoms. Criffin Bay, San Juan Island, Wash., Harvey 

 (1862, p. 174). 



We have been able to examine a small fragment of the type 

 preserved in Herb. Farlow, and while we cannot be certain, we 

 think that it is the same as the plant we have placed under 

 .Emit s nitidissima.
