 "This very interesting endophytic alga, which forms 

 rose-red, membranous, veined expansions within the outer 

 cell- wall of the articulations of Cladophora pellucida, was 

 first noticed on the coast of France by Dr. E. Bornet, in 

 1854. Dr. Bornet delayed publishing a description of the 

 plant as he wished to more thoroughly examine it in a 

 living state. Meanwhile I found the plant at Torquay, in 

 1885, and, believing it to be an undescribed alga, proposed 

 to call it Erythrocelis cladophora, but on learning that 

 Dr. Bornet had previously found and provisionally named 

 the plant, I discarded my manuscript name of Erythrocelis 

 in favour of his name of Schmitziella, and we propose to 

 publish a description of the plant under that name very 

 shortly. The alga has been found at various places in France 

 and England, and I may here mention that Mr. G. 

 Murray has kindly called my attention to the fact that in 

 Edw. Forbes's collection of Algae, now in the British 

 Museum, there is a specimen of Cladophora pellucida 

 apparently gathered by Dillwyn at Yarmouth which has 

 this curious alga endophytic in it. Dr. Bornet informs 

 me that he has seen similar specimens gathered by 

 Ealfs." (E. A. L. Batters).
