The specimens referred to this species are, when dry, of a corneous-cartilaginous consistence. The main branches are rami- fied on all sides, upwards with shorter ramuh, the upper ends of the branches being bare. From a transverse section the cells in the interior of the filaments are seen to be nearly of the same size as those in Gr. compressa, their diameter reaching a length of about 300 [i. But their walls are thicker, and the cells decrease more evenly out- wards and pass evenly into the rather thick cortical layer (Fig. 363). As I have had no authentic speci- mens at my disposal I do not feel con- vinced that my determination is right. In referring my specimens to this species I rely on the cartilaginous consistence of the thallus, only slightly collapsed when dry, and upon the anatomical structure. Tetrasporic plants were found in the month of February. It occurs in shallow water in more sheltered places and in the open sea at a depth of about 10 meters.
