Ohara contraria A. Br. , forma gymnoliles (No. 2). 
Abundant in Hatchery Bay, the common 
species. 
< 'hara contraria A. Br., forma paragymnophylla (No. 
17). This was identified with a doubt by 
Dr. Norstedt. The form is rare in Put-in 
Bay, growing in only one spot near Gi- 
braltar Island, in 7.5 feet of water. It is so 
peculiar that a brief description will be 
given. Fruiting plants 5 to 10 cm. high; 
mostly with incomplete cortication, one 
plant of the collection being fully corticated, 
some not corticated at all, others with one 
or two, joints of the leaves corticated; in 
these cases the second and third leaf joints 
are corticated with eight cells. Stipular 
whorl inconspicuous but double. Stipules 
short, less than one-half to one-third length 
of carpogone. End segment of leaf either 
obtuse and 1-celled or acute and 2-celled.

beach at East Harbor, Ohio. (PI. 17, fig. 2. )

On sandy beach East Harbor and on mud 
bottom in Portage River. 
Nitella tenuissima Desv. (272-). Two specimens of 
27 were sent to Dr. Allen, and they were 
thought to belong to the same species. It 
appears, however, that one was A. batrachas- 
perma and the other, which Dr. Allen num- 
bered 271, was N. tenuissima. The one sent 
to Dr. Nordstedt as 27 was N. tenuissima. 
Nitella gracilis Ag. vel sp. affinis (64) . Upper San- 
dusky Bay, in quiet water. Immature. 
Tolypella intertexta, Allen (No. 1). Occurs, in 
Hatchery Bav, but the plants are nowhere
