At the same time and place that I collected this species, I found
.a single plant which I think may be identical with the
Ectocarpus brachiatus, Harv., of the Nereis Boreali-Americana.
jThe localities there given are South Boston and Lynn, Mass., and
Prof. Farlow, in his work quoted, states that it is known in this
country only by Harvey’s description. My plant agrees quitè*"w-ell
with an authentic specimen of E. Griffithsianus, Le Jolis (E. brachia-
tus, Harv.), but, according to Bornet (Études Phycologiques, p. 16,
; note), the structure of this species agrees rather with the genus
i Phloeospora, Areschoug, it having, especially in the larger filaments,
a cortical layer of quadrate cells, arranged in regular series. He
; proposes for it the name of Phloeospora brachiata, under which
name it would be the only representative of the genus yet found in
: this country.
