Prof. Fischer still treats Algx and Fungi as two entirely distinct series developed in parallel 
rows ; while I suppose that in each class Fungi have diverged as ramifications from various types of 
Algae : there are other important differences between our systems in the position of the Myxomy- 
cetes, Coleochseteoe, and Characeae. But, with the exception of these differences, the main point is 
the agreement of our views with respect to the establishment of four classes which serve equally for 
Fungi as for Algge.
