Fig. 152. Prasiola s(ipi7a( From rocky coast near Hojvig. (F. B. phot.). green covering, as shown in fig. 152. Prasiola stipitata grows as a rule on horizontal or slightly sloping sides of rocks, and prefers piaces where birds live, especially the summits of rocks under fowling cliffs. This alga may also be found quite dry. Simmons mentions (78, p. 251) an Enteromorpha-iormaiion which, judging from the species mentioned by him, must at any rate partly belong to the £'n/e/'omo/-jD/ia-association. But on the other hånd he also mentions some Cladophora-species as belonging to this association; these species, according to my observations, be- long to algæ-associations which grow farlher down.
