.simply mention the species as they now stand. Certain species 

 has been mentioned, and will be mentioned, under Chantransia, 

 and others, under Acrochaetium, according to what the describer 

 of the species has preferred. For the replacement of one 

 name for the other, I have but to leave to the special devoters 

 of the group. 



Borgesen separates this form from Chantransia monili- 

 formis RosENY., which it resembles extremely closely in in 

 many respects. After a careful examination I have as- 

 certained that my specimen belongs to the present species with 

 little doubt. Piliferous individuals ar"e seldom met with in ours 

 and hence it may be taken as var. typica Borges. 



Locality. Goto Islands, Hizen Prov., found epiphytic on 

 Boodlea composita(l). 



Distribution. West Indies.

Wrangelia tanegana Harv. has been the only species of 

 Wrangelia known on our coast. It is intereseing to find the 

 present species, a well known and common plant in Europe, 

 and the next, rather imperfectly described and limited to the 

 Cape, to be added to our algal flora. The specimen has been 

 sent to me by Prof. S. Ikeda for determination and is 

 growing on a Laurencia. The aspect of frond very much 

 resembles W. bicuspidata Borges. as represented by Mar. Algae 

 of Danish W. Indies, Rhodopbyceae, Fig. 127. But the struc- 

 ture of frond agrees in all points with the present species. 



Locality. Kagoshima (Prof. S. Ikeda). 



Distribution. Mediterranean Sea; Atlantic coast of southern 

 Europe; Florida; West Indies; New Holland?
