only having come across plants bearing monospores and refers his 
plants to Ch. Daviesii, but according to Kj ell man (1. c.) they belong 
to Ch. efflorescens. 
The thickness of the main branches = 7—8 \i. 
This species has been met with in June only, and then bearing 
monospores; it was found growing in the sublittoral zone epiphytic 
on several algae in sheltered places. 
It has hitherto been found in the following localities only: — Ost.: 
Fuglefjord on Phyllophora Brodicei ,(!), and Ore on Desmarestia aculeata (!).

The specimens referred to this species agree fairly well with 
Harvey’s figure (Phycol. Brit., tab. 314). This species occurs in the 
sublittoral zone, epiphytic on several large brown algae, especially 
on Desmarestia aculeata and on the stalks of Laminaria hyperborea. 
Found with monospores in May, June and November. 
Does not seem to be common along the shores of the Faeroes. Spe¬ 
cimens have been seen from the following localities: — Ost: Fuglefjord(!); 
Str.: Tinganaes (!), Kalbakfjord (H. J.) ; Sando: Skopen (!). 
In Hydrophyt., p. 129 Lyngbye reports this species from the Faeroes, 
but the specimens in his herbarium in the Botanical Museum, Copen¬ 
hagen, which I have examined belong to Ch. virgatula.

Epiphytic on Alaria esculenta covering its lamina with a short, 
red-matted growth. Observed with monosporangia in July. 
Found only on Str.: north of the redoubt of Thorshavn (!).
