This species may not be reported as new to Japan in strict 

 ;ense as there are two specimens in the Trinity College, Dublin, 

 collected by Charles Wright in Loocboo and determined by 

 HARVEY as /.. leprosa J. Ac. Yet I mention it here since the 

 occurrence of the species within our boundary lias never been 

 known bo public. It is to be noted here that the original in 

 the Agardhian Herbarium at Lund, as well as the specimens 

 from Loochoo and Friendly Islands in Dublin, resemble in the ex- 

 ternal appearance with the figure shown in Kutzing's Tab. Phyc. 

 VIII, Taf. 00. fig. II, k. Harvey's Ner. Bor. Anaer. PI. .XXXI, 

 C is hardly applicable to the species in the external appearance 

 and in structure. The frond is fastigiatcly dichol omously rami- 

 fied with upper segments gradually narrowed. In the dried 

 specimens, entire pari of frond i-, coated with pulvinated grains 

 of lime.
