November and December, but none bearing cystocarps and anther- 
idia, so the species doubtless bears fruit during the winter months 
proper, as is also the case with those growing along the Danish 
coasts. Kleen (1. c. p. 19) mentions, however, having found sporocarps 
in June in Nordland. 
Lyngbye writes that the species is »Ad insulas Faeroenses raro«, 
and Rostrup says »Here and there*. I found it in several places in 
exposed as well as fairly sheltered localities, so it may be recorded as 
fairly common.

Along the Fseroese coasts it grows in the sublittoral zone; at 
any rate, I have not found it growing in the littoral zone in rock- 
pools, as Kj ell man says it does along the Norwegian coasts of 
the Polar Sea. It generally grows on stony bottoms in deeper water 
(some 10 fathoms), and is most commonly met with in sheltered 
localities, but I have also gathered it from the open sea. 
It was found hearing tetraspores in April and October, and 
young cystocarps in November. Kleen met with cystocarpic spe¬ 
cimens in July in Nordland, and Kjellm an gathered it in the 
same month in Nova Zembla bearing both cystocarps and tetra¬ 
spores. 
It appears to be fairly common along the Fseroese coasts: — Str.: 
Gliversnses (!), Ivvalvig (H. J.); Ost.: Fuglefjord (!), Skaalefjord (H. J.); 
Bordo: Klaksvig (!), Aaerne (!); Vid: Kvannesund (H. J.); Syd.: Lobra (!), 
Vaagfjord (H. J.), Trangisvaagfjord (Ostenfeld, H. J., !). 
Lyngbye may so far be said to have found this species in the 
Faeroes as there is a packet in his herbarium containing three small 
pieces of alga, of which the two small ones are undoubtedly Polyides 
rotundus. The packet is labelled in Lyngbye’s handwriting »Furcellaria 
rotunda?<■< In Hydrophyt. he does not record this species from the 
Faeroes.

This species occurs along the coasts of the Faeroes both in the 
littoral zone and in the sublittoral. In the littoral I most frequently
