. British marine algae : being a popular account of the seaweeds of Great Britain, their collection and preservation. Marine algae. 105 beautifully reticulated, and marked at short distances by transverse striae or slightly curved cross-lines, thus indicating the structure of the jointed or chambered internal axis, which is clearly visible with the aid of a good lens. This plant does not readily adhere to paper, but if it be soaked in fresh water for some hours, and afterwards subjected to strong pressure, careful manipulation will thus be rewarded with a beautiful book specimen

B. thuyoides, though not rare, is by no means common, though it is found in rocky tidepools in some situations in large quantities. I have occasionally found it thus in rock-pools under Mount Edgcumbe. Like the foregoing,. Fig. 99. Rytiphlcea fruticulosa. it is a small species, being rarely over 4in. high. The colour is dark brown, sometimes even a yellowish olive, but turning nearly black in drying. This species is intermediate between the foregoing and B. fruticulosa. Fig. 99 represents a branch of this latter highly beautiful species. The plant from which it was taken was gathered by me off the rocks at extreme low water-mark in Whitsand Bay, where it grows abundantly and in high perfection. The colour of this plant in the growing state is another instance of the departure from the ordinary characteristic tint of the Ehodosperms, being usually a true purple, changing to a greenish tint,.
