Series 1. MELANOSPERMEZ:. a 
Fucus, L. 
F. vesiculosus, L. Very common between tide marks, on the shores 
of the Bays and the thoroughfares ; not unfrequently attached to sods by ee 
a root penetrating several inches into the soil, throwing off numerous 
lateral shoots, having the appearance of undeveloped fronds, forming &® 
strong hold-fast, and affording an interesting illustration of the modifica- 
tion of a discoid root, where local circumstances are unfavorable to such 
expansions. It is, however, more frequently found adhering by a coni- 
cal dise to mussels (Modiolo plicatula), which, at high water, unable to - 
resist the buoyancy of the full-grown plant with its inflated vesicles, is, a 
by degrees, wrested from its place of growth and cast upon the shore 
to perish, whence the /ucus, together with other marine plants, is car- a 
ried away by the inhabitants for manure. 
Stilophora, J. Ag. 
8. rhizodes, J. Ag. Rather rare; on old shells, ete., near low-water 
mark. ‘The few specimens which I obtained are fertile, of vigorous 
growth, and densely covered with wart-like fructification.
