S. ; IV., Algen) mentions such a form from New Guinea, and Bobgesen has collected a similar one in the West Indies at St. John (Witte., Nordst. et Lagerh. Alg. exsicc. No. 1,586) which is very characteristic in that the upper part of the vertical axis to nearly half the length of the axis is pro- vided with spherically swollen branchlets. It is also a typical form of this kind that Reinke gives in fig. 57 of liis work on Caulerpa. Such forms seem to be more common in the West Indies and it is apparently such a form that J. G. Agabdh has grouped as /3. occidentalis in his Caulerpa Monograph,.
