Summer. 
To Dictyosiphon hippuroides we have referred the 
common species of the summer, which com- 
pares well with material and descriptions of 
this form. It is, however, a puzzling species 
which should be studied at other seasons of the 
year to make certain its affinities. It seems 
possible that this form may be a late seasonal 
condition of Dictyosiphon f ceniculaceus , very 
common in this region in the spring.
