PO CATALOGUE OF PLANTS.

 Disappearing in July. 



Series 2. RHODOSPERMEiE. 

 Chondria, Ag. 



O. dasyphylla, Ag. Plentiful in Little Bay, and on Bond's Bar, 

 growing in large tufts on the sandy mud, to which it is attached by a 

 fibrous root. 



O. Bailey ana, Mont. Common with the above. 



Polysiphonia, Harv. 



P. Olneyi, Harv. Rare, on Zostera marina in Little Bay. 



P. Harveyi, Bailey. Very abundant in the Bays, and on Bond's Bar; 

 on Zostera marina. 



P. variegata, Ag. Very common, on Zostera marina, also attached 

 to the mud by a fibrous root. 



P. nigrescens, Grev. I collected fine specimens of this most valu- 

 able plant, in fruit, in the month of 'May. It occurs in great abundance 

 in Little Bay, attached to the bottom by a fibrous root. 



Champia, Harv. 



C. parvula, Harv. Plentiful in Little Bay, on Zostera marina. 



Grinellia, Harv. 



G. Americana, Harv. Of this beautiful plant I found only one per- 

 fect specimen. It was growing in the Great Egg Harbor Bay near the 

 shore, attached to the bottom by a somewhat fibrous root. 



Gracilaria, J. Ag. 



G. multipartita, J. Ag. Plentiful, particularly fine on planted oys- 

 ters in Little Bay. 



Solieria, J. Ag. 



S. chordalie, J. Ag. Very common on all the shores. There can be 

 no doubt but this bushy plant will grow and flourish in the coves of Lit- 

 tle Bay, and other sheltered situations, without a foothold; for I have 

 rarely found it attached to the bottom. 



Chylocladia, liar v. 



C. Baileyana, Harv. Frequent, on Zostera marina, Ulva latissima, 

 etc.
