adhere to paper. By comparing the Plate now given with Plate II. (C. Muelleri),the resemblances and differences between these closely alliedspecies may be seen. Externally the present differs from theformer in its bright-green or yellowish colour, in the more lan-ceolate general outline, and in the more laxly set and patent orsquarrose ramenta. The microscope reveals another and moreessential character; the ramenta in C. hypnoides being forkednear the middle; and in C. Muelleri at the very base. Thepresent is much the commonest species; extending along thewhole west and south coasts of Australia, and to Tasmania andNew Zealand. It bears a remarkably close resemblance to aSwiss fossil, figured by Brongniart, under the name Fucoideshypnoides (Brongn. Hist. t. 9 bis, t. 1-2). Fig. 1.
