rently distinct, as our C. falcata is, T am by no means 

 satisfied thai it Bhonld be regarded as a true Bpecies; for, 

 omitting the cnrled branches and the bending of the ra- 

 muli to one side, there are little or no characters to keep

Unlike as this little plant (discovered in Jersey by Miss 

 Magdelene Turner) is in ramification and general aspect to 

 C. rvmejstriSi the cells, under the microscope. stronglyre- 

 semble those of that species; yet I can hardly think it next 

 of kin to that straight-growing plant, and perhaps C.Jracta 

 is more nearly related. 



311. Gattyse (Mrs. Gattifs Cladophora)} filaments an inch long, 

 dingy-green, capillary, matted together in dense tufts, not 

 much branched, dichotomously divided, flexuous, with few 

 ramuli ; articulations in all parts of the frond nearly uniform, 

 about once and half as long as broad, filled with endochrome; 

 the dissepiments very narrow, contracted. Harv. Phtf. Brit.

 Hab. On rocks (?), Dear low-water mark. Locality uncertain. 

 The external habit is between that of C. uncialis and 



irpus littoralis, hut the threads ;ire very niueh more 



robust than in the former, and differently branched from 



the latter, as well as more robust. The plant IS, however, 



much battered and water-worn, having most of its upper 



branches and ramuli broken offj and I am not prepared to 

 say whether it be not some species in a dilapidated con- 

 dition, whose proper character may be concealed.
