A photomicrograph to show diameter of the mucus sheath indicated by the broken line X 340. Stephanokontae. OEDOGONIACEAE. Bulbochaete Agardh. Bulbochaete sp. Fragments belonging to this genus appeared in collections from nearly all localities visited by the Southern Party. They were fairly abundant and in all cases bore exceedingly long bristles. No reproductive stages were present. Hence it was impossible to identify the species. Vegetative cell: diameter 15-21ju; length 20-25/x. Oedogonium Link. Oedogoniutn sp. Filaments of Oedogonium, more or-less fragmented, were even more frequent than those of Bulbochaete. With the exception of the material from Herschel island, in which sexual organs were present, it was found only in the vegetative condition, so that identification of species was limited to the Herschel island collections. Oedogonium nodulosum Wittr. (Plate IV, fig. 15) A few small filaments of this species were observed in the collection from the Hippuris swamp, Herschel island. It is a monoecious form with the vege- tative cells bearing two constrictions dividing each cell into three wide parts with narrower parts connecting them. The plants observed were somewhat smaller then the type. It has been recorded from Europe, Asia, and South.
