. Botany of the Faeröes, based upon Danish investigations. Botany -- Faroe islands. 723 Even the most sheltered piaces here are not calm enough for this alga.

I have not met with any description of such a Fwcus-vegetation growing on an exposed coast.

Fig. 154 phot.). konnte man vielleicht am richtigstcn eine besondere Formation unter- scheiden, die dann die Fiicus distichus-Porphyra-iormaXion zu nennen wåre. Fiiciis distichus bewohnt nåmhch mit Vorhebe abschiissige Pel- sen in der Nåhe der Ebbengrenze und wåchst da mit Porphyra laci- niata vermischt.« Judging by these words, Simmons seems hardly to have got any distinct idea of this characteristic formation. Nor have I met with any description of it from Norway, where it may, however, be supposed to grow. It has therefore been very inter- esting to me, to receive the following report from Mr. Norum in Haugesund. »A F«CHs-formation corresponding exactly with those.
