Most of the above-named algae are found on the coast, either 
upon the rocks or thrown ashore from deep water. Several 
species are eaten in the crude state, as the Hen-ware, Alaria 
esculenta ; the Didce, Rhodomenia palmata ; the Pepper- 
dulce , Laurentia pinnatifida ; and the Tangle , or stems of 
the various species of Laminaria. The Chondrus mammillo- 
sus and Fucus canaliculatus bear the name of Crow-dulce , 
being not quite so palatable as the others. The Chondrus 
crispus is often found on the beach bleached white, and is then 
the Carrageen, or Irish moss , used for the same purpose as 
the Cetraria Xslandica, or Iceland 7noss.
