Part of a plant with irregular ramification and a scheme of it seen from above. (About 30:1). The branchlets bear in their summit two trichoblasts, or rarely only a single one; the development of these is given by Ambronn (1. c, p. 214—5, pi. IV, fig. 15), Only plants with tetrasporangia were found. These (Fig. 288 a) are developed in the branchlets, a single one in each segment, and, in my specimens, seldom more than 6 in each branchlet, while Falkenberg has found up to 20—30 sporangia in each branchlet. Owing to this fact and in general owing to the very few segments found in the branchlets, my specimens ap- proach Herposiphonia secunda (comp, Falkenberg, 1. c, p. 308) and this is still more the case with regard to some other speci- mens found on the shore of St, Jan. Here a form was found with very short segments (Fig. 289), and as it also showed some irregularities in the arrangement Dansk Botanisk Arkiv, Bd. 3. Js'r. 1 (1918). 19.
