Brian Wysor, Bachelors Candidate, Southampton College. 

 Botany. Data on the natural products of the red alga Lauren- 

 cia obtusa (Rhodomelacea) have suggested there may be 

 more than one species identified as "L. obtusa." This 

 species has a long published history of taxonomic and 

 nomenclature confusion and, as currently understood, is 

 widely reported from temperate to tropical waters of the At- 

 lantic, Mediterranean, Caribbean, Pacific, Indian and 

 Australian waters. "Laurencia obtusa", an ecologically im- 

 portant species with economic potential, is a member of a 

 genus recognized to have broad morphological plasticity 

 and the morphological limits of species are poorly under- 

 stood. Thus, species concepts are in need of character test- 

 ing and elucidation. Comparative morphological studies in 

 marine algae from the type locality (England) and those 

 from the Caribbean Sea to clarify the taxonomic features of 

 the type specimen and resolve the taxonomic status of 

 specimens from the Caribbean. May 27, 1996 through 

 August 3, 1996.
