1058. E. buccinalis, Linn. — A Seaweed cast on shore at Sandy 
Bay, on the south side of the Island. As it does not grow at St. 
Helena, and is a well-known Cape species, it is most likely brought 
thence, over 1700 miles of sea, by the current that sets from the 
Cape to St. Helena. 
Note Thirteen species from Tristan d’Acunha, and three from Ascension are included 
in the foregoing, hut as several undetermined species and varieties are in some instances com- 
prised under the same number, those found at St. Helena amount to about 1048.
