Such a life-history is more complex than any thus far given. During the growing season the tetraspores multiply the plant; and the life-history may be indicated as follows, P designating the ordinary plant body: P—tetraspore—P—tetraspore—P—tetraspore, etc. Such a series, however, does not continue indefinitely; for it is stopped by the coming of an unfavorable period, such a period as winter represents to many plants.

In the life-history of our red alga this unfavorable period is bridged by the fruit-like body, just as in the other Algse it is bridged by the heavy-walled oospore. Such.
