steep rocks. More seldom it is fastened to other algse, as 

 C'oraUina. It prefers open shore, but it is also to be met 

 with on sheltered places. It is rather reduced in size, the 

 length varying- between 6 and 16 cm., generally 8 — 12. Spe- 

 cimens collected in the later half of June, in July and in 

 the beginning of August have been sterile. 



Distribution: Pretty common especially along the un- 

 sheltered part of the coast.

Of late the present species has been considered by Kj ell- 

 ma n as specifically distinct from K. reniformis. I have only 

 once met with it at East-Fimnarken. The specimens, collec- 

 ted in the beginning of August, were small, only 3 — 8 mm. 

 It grew within the lower part of the sublitoral zone, on a 

 depth of about 18 fathoms, attached to Lithothamnia. 



Distribution: Only found at Lebesby on Laxefjord, rare.
