and Gardner, Alg. N.W. Amer., 1903, p. 237 (excl. spec’n).
It may be doubtful whether the f. typicus of Ectocarpus confer-
voides is, as yet at least, to be included in our account. We have
referred here three collections, one of which (no. 5197, W. A. Setchell
and A. A. Lawson, Juneau, Alaska) was listed by us previously (1903,
p. 237) under E. siliculosus f. typicus. It is a poor and unsatisfactory
specimen, but seems to belong here rather than where we referred it.
The other specimens are from Oregon and California and are small,
but have the more abundant branching of this form.
