UN. kLQ IE OF BERMUDA. 1 1 < 



cells in the membrane narrowly rectangular, in quite distinct series 

 to the margin. Compared with the very narrow form from brackish 

 water at West Point, Xcw York, the distinctness of species seems jus- 

 tified, but intermediate forms occur, some from Florida having as wide 

 lents as the Bermuda plant, but with polygonal or rhomboidal 

 cells in indistinct series. The variation can hardly be due to clim 

 as a specimen of Miss Vickers, Algues de la Barbade, Xo. 144, has 

 fronds as narrow as in the plant of Long Island Sound and Hudson 

 River.

T. perpusillum J. G. Agardh, 1S63, p. 1257; T. macrourum 

 Thuret in Bornet & Thuret, 1876, p. 69, PI. XXV; P. B. -A., Xo. 

 1935; Polysiphonia pcrjjusilla J. G. Agardh, 1847, p. 16. In a gela- 

 tinous mass among small algae, Gibbet Island, April, Hervey. Tetra- 

 spores were common in this material; a single mature cystocarp was 

 found, but unfortunately was lost before notes and figures could be 

 made. 



Family BOXXEMAISOXIACEAE. 

 Asparagopsis Montagne. 



A. taxiformis (Delile) comb, now; A. DelUei Montagne, 1S40, p. 

 XIV; Dasya Dclilei Montagne, 1840, p. 166, PI. VIII, fig. 6; Fucus 

 taxiformis Delile, 1813, p. 151, PI. LVII, fig. 2. Merriman; Cooper's 

 Island, Feb., Farlow. Apparently rare, as we have not met with it, 

 nor have we found it in any other collections than as al>ove. As 

 Montagne refers to Funis taxifor nis Delile, but changes the specific 

 name to do more honor to the author, the original name nui>t be 

 restored according to the international rules.
