drifted (St. 47 b, 16. 3. 09, f. latissima, $). Falkland Islands: Sparrow Cove, 

 11—13 m, shells and gravel (St. 9, 10. 1. 08). 



Distribution: S. Patagonia (first record), Fuegia, Falkl., Kerg. 



C. linguata Kylin in K. & Skottsb. p. 14, fig. 6 a. 



South Georgia: Cumberland Bay, Boiler Harbour, sublit. 5 m (St. 48, 

 20. 4. 09). — Four small specimens of the same general outline as the single specimen 

 examined by Kylin, but with more numerous proliferations. 



Distribution: S. Georgia. 



Callymenia J. Ag. 



C. antarctica Hariot, l e Exp. Ant. franc. Algues p. Ti Cotton, Crypt. Falkl. p. 179. 



Falkland Islands: Westpoint Island, in tide-pools, rare (St. 8 b, 5. 12. 

 07); Cape Pembroke, numerous small plants forming dense tufts on coralline algae (St. 

 3 b, 7. 11.07). 



I do not know if tliis really is Hariot' s antarctic species, but it certainly is the 

 same as referred here by Cotton, and he seems to be sure of the identity. 



Distribution: Falkl., Graham Land. 



Rhodophyllidaceae. 

 Catenella Grev. 



C. fusiformis (J. Ag. ) Skottsb. comb. nov. — Fig. 2 a. 



Syn. C. opuntia (Good. et Woodw.) Grev., Kylin & Skottsb. p. 16; var. fusi- 

 formis J. Ag. Sp. Alg. III p. 588. 



Frondes e filis repentibus rosulatae, lineari-filiformes, basi et apice capillaceae, 

 integrae vel furcatae, simplices seu parce ramosae, non vel saltem haud distincte arti- 

 culatae. Tetrasporangia ut in C. opuntia. Color fusco-violaceus. 



In the upper litoral, common. C h i 1 o é : Quemchi, with Bostrychia (St. 30 b, 

 19. 7. 08); San Pedro Island, with Hildenbrandia (St. 30 B, 22. 7. 08). W e s t P a t a- 

 g o n i a : Puerto Riofrio (St. 28, 13. 6. 08). South Patagonia: Arauz Bay, with 

 Bostrychia (St. 23 a, 3. 5. 08, e ). Falkland Islands: Westpoint Island, abun- 

 dant (St. 8 a, 5. 12.07); Cape Pembroke, with Bostrychia (St. 3 a, b, 7. 11.07). 



Var. fusiformis was established by Agardh on Hohenacker no. 280, and this 

 is exactly what I understand by my species; besides, Agardh suspected that his variety 

 was worthy of specific rank. As far as my experience goes the European plant belongs 

 to one type, and the subantarctic to another, the differences being illustrated in fig. 2. 



Distribution: Chile to Fuegia, Falkl., N. Zeal.?
