Batters —On some New 
Tellamia contorta. Filaments yellowish green or brown, 
very irregularly branched, branching both lateral and dorsi- 
ventral ; horizontal branches frequently falcate or coiled into 
a nearly spherical mass, sometimes anastomosing; vertical 
branches close together often united laterally, ending in 
a sharply pointed cell; cells 6-9 /x long, 3-10 \x in diameter; 
enlarged dark coloured cells 20 fx or more in diameter not in- 
frequent. 
Probably common all round our shores. Cumbrae, Wey- 
mouth, E. A, B. ; Padstow, Falmouth, R. V. Tellam ; Berwick, 
J. B. 
Tellamia {Endo derma ?) intricat a. Filaments yellowish 
green, slender, branches long and slender, cells 2*5~4*5 fx in 
diameter, 4-24 \x in length. Chromatophores parietal, each 
containing a single pyrenoid. 
Probably common. Cumbrae and Weymouth, E. A. B . ; 
Padstow and Falmouth, R. V. Tellam. 
I have named this genus in honour of Mr. R. V. Tellam, of 
Bodmin, who has done much to increase our knowledge of the 
Flora of Cornwall and Devon. 
Callocolax negleetus. Schmitz MSS. in Holmes, Alg. Brit. 
Exsicc. On page 229 of the second volume of his Flora of 
Berwick-upon-Tweed, published in 1831, Dr. Geo. Johnston, 
speaking of Callophyllis , or as it was then called Halymenia 
laciniata , remarks, s I have a specimen of this species, in 
which there are scattered irregularly over the frond small 
circular clusters of papillary tubercles about a line in height. 
The papillae contain minute oval granules, and each cluster 
or tuft is composed of about twenty papillae. It is a sort of 
fructification unnoticed by Dr. Greville, and perhaps affords 
a proof that characters drawn from the parts of fructification 
in the classification of the Algae, are only of subsidiary 
value.’ 
In the autumn of 1884, when collecting at Berwick, and 
since then on several occasions, I have found similar specimens 
to the one described by Dr. Johnston. About two years ago, 
or rather more, the late Dr. F. Schmitz, who was then in
