CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE BERMUDA BIOLOGICAL STATION
FOR RESEARCH, No. 69.

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA.
By FRANK S. Couuins AND ALPpHEUS B. HERVEY.

BerMvupa consists of a little group of islands of not more than twenty
square miles of dry land, lying in latitude 32° 14’-32° 23’ north and
longitude 64° 38’-64° 53’. west, about 700 miles southeast of New
York, and 600 miles east of the coast of South Carolina. They are
some three or four hundred miles south and east of the Gulf Stream.
This situation accounts for the very marked uniformity as well as the
mildness of the climate of the islands.

All of Bermuda now above sea level consists of limestone, from a
fine sand to hard crystalline rock. The lime comes from the various
organisms inhabiting the water, in part animal but more largely
vegetable; + many of these lime-producing algae are included in the
following pages, but Lithothamnium and its allies, stony algae be-
longing to the Florideae, which furnish the larger part of the material,
we have not been able to include here. The fine powder formed from
the remains of these various organisms is carried by the wind and
spread out over the ground. Rainwater dissolves a certain amount
of it, which when the water dries up is deposited and acts as a cement.
Crystallization goes on more or less within the masses after formation,
and so some parts become much harder than others. Erosion from
rain or from the sea is continually going on, and its action being
greater in the softer than in the harder parts, we have a great variety
of fantastic forms along the shore, and many caves underground.

It has long been supposed that there was a core of solid rock under
the limestone, but only recently have any definite data been obtained
in regard to it. Pirsson, 1914, gives the particulars in regard to a
boring made in the hope, which was not fulfilled, of obtaining a supply
of fresh water. The boring was in Southampton parish, about a mile
west of Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, 135 feet above sea level. To 380 feet

formation of ‘‘coral’’ islands, by animal and vegetable organisms, see Howe,
1912.

below the surface it was the ordinary soft limestone; then to 695 feet,
earthy, decomposed lava, in the lower part of the range with frag-
ments of solid lava, sometimes waterworn; then to 1413 feet, the
lowest point reached, solid lava. Considering these data in connec-
tion with our knowledge of the present under-water Bermuda, the
slope from the present island to the ocean floor, the conclusion is
reached that a great volcanic cone was formed, perhaps in the early
Eocene, with its summit where the present island is, rising about
11,000 feet above the sea. The 718 feet above the bottom of the
boring and an unknown distance below consist of the unchanged lava
of the cone; the 315 feet layer above this was produced by the dis-
integration of the upper part of the cone; the foraminifera found in
the 380 feet of limestone indicate that its formation, by the same
processes that are now at work, began before the end of the Eocene;
while the occurrence of the limestone 245 feet, and the decomposed
lava 560 feet below sea level, indicate a long-continued subsidence.

At the present time there are no bodies of fresh water on the islands;
rain water sinks almost immediately into the porous soil, which is
also honeycombed by large and small caves and passages; brackish
water can be obtained at sea level anywhere, but strictly fresh water
nowhere. A curious instance of this permeability was told us by Mr.
Reid Trott, owner of the aquarium known as the Devil’s Hole; this
is on the shore of Harrington Sound, distant a quarter of a mile, rather
high ground, from the south shore; in a southerly storm the surf is
very heavy on the south shore, and white from the fine lime of the
beaches; within a day or two the water in the aquarium becomes
milky. The only visible outlet of Harrington Sound is by the nar-
row passage at Flatts Bridge; but though the rise and fall of the
tide in the Sound is only a few inches, it has been calculated that it
represents a flow through unseen passages of much more than passes
under the bridge. Devonshire Marsh forms a sort of bowl, with
higher ground on all sides; surface drainage into this fills the ditches
with practically pure fresh water after rains, but it soon disappears,
and only a few species of fresh water algae are able to avail themselves
of the short opportunity.”

A few species of “ Fucus” are mentioned by Turner, Icones Fucorum,
1808-1819, but actually our knowledge of the algae of Bermuda

2 A *is placed before the name of each fresh water or terrestrial species
listed, including some Myxophy ceae found here within range of tides, though
not normally marine.

begins with the list published in the Canadian Naturalist by the Rev.
Alexander F. Kemp (Kemp, 1857), who visited the islands in 1856
and collected somewhat extensively. Sixteen years later J. J. Rein,
who had been a tutor in an English family at Bermuda, published two
papers on the vegetation of the islands, one of them with a list of the
algae (Rein, 1873). In 1881 Prof. W. G. Farlow made quite extensive
collections, and some of the material obtained was distributed in the
set of exsiccatae, Farlow, Anderson & Eaton, Algae Exsiccatae Boreali-
Americanae. At a later visit, in 1900, Farlow collected additional
species, a few of which were distributed in Collins, Holden & Setchell,
Phycotheca Boreali-Americana, but otherwise no publication has been
made of the material collected by him. The Challenger Expedition
visited Bermuda, and the results are given in a preliminary paper
(Dickie, 1874) and in a volume of the Results of the Challenger
Expedition. In these are included the species listed by Kemp and
Rein and those distributed by Farlow, with comparatively few addi-
tions. In the Journal of Botany George Murray published a Cata-
logue of West Indian marine algae (Murray, 1889), including in it
the Bermuda lists above mentioned; noting that Bermuda did not
belong to the West Indies, geographically or politically, but might
be considered as having a similar flora. Setchell, 1912, is a paper
calling attention to several species in the Farlow herbarium. Longer
or shorter lists of algae occur in local publications, traveller’s guides
etc., but based on the papers above noted, and adding nothing to
what is found in them. Occasional references to Bermuda occur in
general works, but only as citations from the works mentioned, or
referring to some specimen collected by Farlow.

Through the kindness of Mrs. Jane A. Sutherland, daughter of Mr.
Kemp, we have been able to examine his collection, which still includes
nearly all the species listed by him. Professor M. Mobius very kindly
sent us for examination the Rein algae, now preserved in the collection
of the Senckenbergischer Gesellschaft at Frankfurt’a/m.; by the
favor of Dr. D. Prain, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew,
we have examined specimens of the species added by the Challenger
expedition; and Professor Farlow has given every facility for the
study of his rich material, including beside his own collecting, speci-
mens collected by G. Tucker in 1856 and Walter Faxon in 1882. In
the collection of one of the writers is a considerable number of algae
collected in 1890 by W. S. Wadsworth. Miss Wilkinson of Ripleigh,

3 A similar set is in the herbarium of the University of California.

6 COLLINS AND HERVEY.

Hamilton, has kindly allowed us to refer to an interesting collection
she has made, and we are also much indebted to her for information
as to stations of some of the rare species. In 1882 Miss Kate Peniston,
now Mrs. Matthews, sent one of us some algae from the Harrington
Sound region; comparatively few specimens, but including some of
much interest. Several species from Bermuda are recorded by Dr.
M. A. Howe in his papers in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical
Club, and some of them have been distributed in the Phycotheca
Boreali-Americana. An occasional specimen from some other col-
lector will be noted in its appropriate place. Collections were made
by ourselves in the years from 1911 to 1917, during which period one
or the other of us has been in Bermuda rather more than half of the
time, collecting in practically all parts of the islands and in all months
except June. While future additions are of course to be expected,
we think that the main characters of the algal flora are fairly settled,
and the greater part of the species determined. A special effort has
been made to distribute in the Phycotheca Boreali-Americana as full
a representation as possible of Bermuda algae, and fascicles XX XVIII,
XXXIX, XLI, XLIT and XLIV consist entirely of specimens from the
islands.* We have distributed in this way every species of which
sufficient material was available.

A number of new species are described and figured in the following
pages, and we have tried to give all details of value in regard to them.
In case of other species, whenever we could add anything to previous
knowledge of them, we have tried to do so, but no full descriptions
have been given except for new species, varieties etc. Concise keys
however, have been furnished, and we think will prove useful. We
have been rather full in notes as to character of station, as this is
something sadly lacking in many floras. Exact localities have been
given, for the aid of future students, and the date of collecting is
given by month, but it has not seemed necessary to give the year.
No full synonymy is given, but pains have been taken to give for
each species the proper name under the international rules; the ori-
ginal name, if published under another genus; and when possible
reference to a good figure. Whenever specimens from Bermuda have
‘been distributed in the Alg. Am.-Bor. Exsice. or in the P. B.-A.,
reference is given by number. Other references are given in cases

4A set of these fascicles will be found at the Bermuda Agricultural
Station, to whose Director, Mr. E. J. Wortley, we are indebted for many
kindnesses during our visits to the islands.

where it seemed desirable, especially from distinctively American
works, like Harvey, Nereis Boreali-Americana and Boérgesen, The
Marine Algae of the Danish West Indies. The latter is specially
useful in connection with the present work, being a careful study of
the marine flora of a small group of islands, of character not unlike
Bermuda, though somewhat farther south. As Borgesen’s work is
still incomplete as this paper goes to press, full comparisons are not
yet possible.

We had hoped to publish with the present paper somewhat full
comparisons of the floras of Bermuda and other regions, but the list
for the Danish West Indies, perhaps the most instructive, is not
fully available. We have reluctantly had to omit from our list the
families Rhizophyllidaceae, Squamariaceae and Corallinaceae; with-
out careful study of the types any conclusions in these critical families
would be uncertain, and in the present European conditions such
study has not been practicable. In view of this we have made only a
short statement, by classes, showing the percentage of the Bermuda
species common to nine of the best known regions where a similarity
might be expected. If later we are in position to take up the families
now omitted, and a full account of the algae of the Danish West Indies
is available, the proposed full comparison may be made. In the
present comparison we have not included the Class Myxophyceae;
first because the species of this class are largely cosmopolitan, second
because in many regions where the other classes are fairly well known,
the Myxophyceae have been little studied. We have considered a
species as common to two regions, though represented by different
forms or varieties in each; pelagic species, known only as washed
ashore, have not been included.

S COLLINS AND HERVEY.

The nine regions used in the above comparison are not equally well
known; the affinity to an intensively studied region like Great Britain
is somewhat overstated, that to a less thoroughly studied region, like
the Canaries, understated; but some general indications may be ob-
tained. Perhaps the most striking is the distinctness of the Bermuda
flora, having only 41 per cent in common with Jamaica, and not so
much in common with any of the others. Taking the three classes
represented, there is only one in which more than half the species are
common to another region, again Jamaica, which has 63 per cent of
the Bermuda brown algae. Taking all the regions, the similarity is
greatest in the brown algae, least in the green. The affinities of the
Bermuda flora are evidently strongest with the Florida-West India
region, next with the Mediterranean, and after that with more north-
ern localities. New England has probably the least in common with
Bermuda of all the regions compared, its slight numerical superiority
over the Canaries being probably due to the less thorough exploration
of the latter.

The following list of important stations, with indication of the
characters of each, will, we think, be of use to future collectors; in a
region where the coast line is so long in proportion to the surface area,
many such stations must exist, but we think we have listed the more
important ones.

In this list of stations we aim to conduct our readers around the
whole island and point out the places where we have found certain
forms of algae most common. Driven in on all sides by the winds
one will find abundance of Sargassum natans “gulfweed”’ of which
the farmers make so profitable use as a fertilizer. This grows in mid-
ocean and is never found attached to the shores. Other species of
the same genus are found growing all about the island along with other
litoral plants. Many other forms such as Ulva; Bryopsis, Caulerpa,
Codium, Laurencia, Dictyota, Padina, Spyridia etc. will be found al-
most everywhere, and so will not require special mention. We will
start from Hamilton, going west to Fairyland and Grasmere; there
we shall find shallow water and-abundance of plants. Breaking into
the land opposite Agar’s Island is a large bay; as we first come to it
on our left we shall find a large growth of mangrove trees among the
roots of which in shallow water we will find abundance of the endemic
Halymenia bermudensis, the loose, small form. Farther along in
front of a cottage is rich collecting ground; another of the new plants,
Chondria curvilineata occurs here, and very large masses of Valonia
macrophysa; alarger form of the Halymenia was gathered in abundance

in a little bay that comes up in front of the Grasmere Hotel. Beyond
the hotel is a water called Mangrove Creek, lying between the hotel
and Spanish Point, where good collecting may be had. At the ex-
treme end of Spanish Point are two little bays, the larger of which is
called Stovel Bay; this furnished good specimens of Dudresnaya
crassa and Liagoras in the spring. It is well to make a careful search
all about Spanish Point as far east as the Admiralty House. Beyond
that as far as the Ducking Stool the shore is for the most part high
and precipitous, and we did not find much to reward the climb down
and up; but coming in a boat one finds a fairly rich flora, Iiagora etc.,
at the base of the cliffs.

From the Ducking Stool to the Inlet of Harrington Sound most of
the collecting was of the smaller forms, some of them microscopic.
At one point, perhaps half a mile from the Inlet, was found at one
time an abundance of Coelarthrum Albertisti, as it was also on the
outer point of the Gibbet Islands. These two islands and the little
beaches on either side, being near our place of abode, were carefully
studied, and yielded from time to time several interesting things,
among them the new Lophosiphonia Saccorhiza, growing on a Codium;
Halymenia Agardhii and Antithamnion cruciatum var. radicans also
occurred here. The Inlet of Harrington Sound is good collecting
ground for several species; on the south side is plenty of Ceramium
nitens, and on the wall of the Frascati Hotel may be found at all times
a fine growth of Callithamnion Halliae; Heterospora Vidovichii also
grew on this wall, and Avrainvillea nigricans grows buried in the mud
in the lower part of the Inlet. Over on the north side in the shallow
water one may find abundance of Udotea and Penicillus. Within the
Sound near the bridge is always an abundance of Wrangelia penicillata,
and always also Griffithsia tenuis; in Tucker’s Bay at the west end of
the Sound we first found Neomeris annulata, afterwards found at
several other stations; farther to the north, in Major’s Bay, were
two or three species of Bryopsis. At the farther end of the Sound in
a little cove near Walsingham House, called Dingle Bay, we found
rich collecting; it is the best station for characteristic Hypnea musci-
formis and for Champia parvula, rare in Bermuda, and the only station
for the new Dasya spinuligera, also the original station for Nitophyl-
lum Wilkinsoniae; on the south side of the Sound we found our best
growth of Acetabularia crenulata in a little pool near the chapel;
the species is common in many other places, however; the shores
of the Sound everywhere abound in species of Bryopsis and Laurencia.

About a mile north of Flatts Village we come to Shelly Bay, a fine

10 COLLINS AND HERVEY.

beach; here in its season may be found the new Chondria polyrhiza,
and at the north end of the Bay is a fine growth of Udotea flabellum;
half a mile beyond Shelly Bay is Burchell Cove, well worth a visit;
here we found splendid specimens of Callithamnion Halliae. Bailey’s
Bay, something over a mile beyond, is a good place for collecting;
here we found some of our best specimens of Lucheuwma denticulatum.
In going on towards St. George’s it would be worth while to take the
old and now unused road about a quarter of a mile beyond Bailey’s
Bay, and follow along the shore to the old ferry, and then past Joyce’s
Caves to the Causeway. At the north end of the Causeway we come
to Long Bird Island,® on the southeast side of which all the way to
the Swing Bridge is good collecting, especially of Helminthocladia
Calvadosi and Castagnea.

Beyond Swing Bridge the road winds with many a picturesque turn
along the shores of Mullet Bay into St. George’s; these waters ought
to be fertile grounds for they are for the most part shallow and easily
accessible. Once in St. George’s we are in the immediate neighbor-
hood of some of the best collecting grounds in Bermuda; going to the
shore northwest of the city we first come to Tobacco Bay which is in
fact two quite distinct bays near together; plenty of Bryopsis and
Tiagora here. A little farther along very near the old fort at St.
Catherine’s Point, where the shore makes a right angled turn to the
east, is a little bay called Achilles Bay, where Helminthocladia may be
found in abundance in its season. Following the shore for a mile to
the east we pass several little coves which may be worth a visit; but
just before we come to the place where the sewer from the hospital
comes down, we come to Judy’s Hole, so called in honor of a colored
woman whose body was washed ashore here. Here we found splendid
specimens of Wrightiella Blodgettii and Naccaria corymbosa floating
in on the breakers. Farther along is Sylvester’s Bay and beyond
that Buildings Bay, so named from the fact that here Sir George
Summers built the little ships in which he sailed away for Virginia.
It is a little cove extending in behind an old fortification; there is a
little beach at the head of the bay; comparatively few plants grow
on the rocks along the shore or on the bottom, but among them is the

5 This is the ‘‘Oblongarum Avium Insula”’ of the map in Jansen’s atlas,
Vol. [11, 1646. This map, a copy of the original survey of 1622, is remarkably
full and accurate; names of places have hardly changed at all, and the family
names of many of the owners there given appear today everywhere in the
islands. This accuracy and fullness is the more remarkable in contrast with
the maps in the same volume, covering the mainland from Labrador to Florida;
contours are vague and uncertain, and names strangely transposed.

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. 1]

“Staghorn” Codiwm, the very large form of C. decorticatum. But
many things that come in there on the tide show that there are very
fertile grounds outside; there is Dudresnaya crassa, T'richogloea
Herveyi, Naccaria corymbosa, Dasya pedicellata and several other
Dasyas, Crouania attenuata, Callithamnions, Liagoras etc.; there are
probably more things to be found here than in any other like place in
Bermuda. Just beyond this is Gates Bay, noted for abundance of
Crouania, Iiagora and Laurencia, for the most part epiphytic on
Sargassum.

On the harbor side of St. George’s may be found some good col-
lecting; here by an old wharf at the eastern end of the city we found
Antithamnion cruciatum and our only specimens of Caulerpa verticil-
lata. Taking the ferry to St. David’s and crossing over to the south
side of the island near the lighthouse we come to’a beach where we
found a fine growth of Gracilaria dichotomo-flabellata and some small
specimens of Euchewma Gelidium. At the west end of the Causeway
we find a new road leading around the shore to Walsingham House;
there is good collecting all along here; first of all at the left, a growth
of mangrove trees, on the amphibious roots of which is abundance of
three species of Bostrychia, mingled with Caloglossa Leprieurii and
Catenella pinnata; these plants grow on such roots, as well as on rocks
covered only at high tide, in every part of the island. There are two
little tide pools in the immediate vicinity of Moore’s calabash tree in
one of which are two or three species of Cawlerpa and Udotea flabellum;
in the other, smaller, one, partly under a big rock, the bottom is
carpeted with delicate fronds of Caulerpa sertularioides; in the neigh-
borhood of Walsingham House are several little coves rich in plants;
one a hundred yards or so to the right of the driveway leading up to
the main road always contains Chrysymenia uvaria in fine form; here
also in 1915 we found a splendid growth of Halymenia pseudofloresia,
and it is the only place in which we found more than a single frond
or afragment. Over on the shore of Castle Harbor in April we found
a good collection of Spyridia aculeata var. hypnoides.

Following the southwest shore of Castle Harbor for a mile and a half
we come to Tucker’s Town, another fruitful locality; here in a little
grotto, back of the concrete wharf, growing at all seasons are Haly-
menia bermudensis and Galaxaura obtusata; on the shore in front of
the wharf where a small stream runs into the sea are quantities of
Gelidium pusillum and around the point to the left a heavy growth
of Eucheuma denticulatum; all about the wharf are fronds of Ulva, yards
long. A boat can be taken from Tucker’s Town to Cooper’s Island,

12 COLLINS AND HERVEY.

famous as a rich station; here in a single day in 1881 Farlow found
Dudresnaya caribaea, D. bermudensis, Calosiphonia verticillifera and
Kallymenia perforata, none of which except the second have been
found in Bermuda since; we have made several visits to the island in
the hope of finding them, but in vain, but each trip was rewarded by
unexpected good things.

From Tucker’s Town way along the South Shore to Ely’s Harbor,
a distance of some fifteen miles, the shore presents an alternation of
long beaches and high precipitous rocks, with but here and there a bay
where one can collect algae. The reef runs along parallel to the shore,
from a quarter to a half a mile outside. There are two or three little
bays in Southampton which we have not explored; but we have found
that the flora of the west end of the island is not nearly as rich as that
of the east end. On the south shore east of the meridian of Hamilton
are a few bays that should be mentioned; these are in the neighbor-
hood of Devil’s Hole, viz., Pink Bay, Smith’s Bay and Gravelly Bay;
a reference to the text will show what plants have been collected in
these localities; special attention is called only to the last of the three,
Gravelly Bay. It is not more than a quarter of a mile across the |
island from Devil’s Hole; it has proved a remarkably fertile place;
it is the only station where we have found Gracilaria horizontalis,
Turbinaria tricostata and Dilophus guineensis, though the latter was
found by Farlow in Paget. The place is rich in several species of
Dictyota, also in Zonaria lobata and Dictyopteris Justii in their seasons.
Here also we first found Trichogloea Herveyi, and we have found it
there every season since; a little cave near the bay has yielded a
number of species, rarely found elsewhere. |

About a mile farther along towards the west we come to what is
known as Spanish Rock; here at the foot of a high precipice, Col-
pomenia sinuosa and Hydroclathrus cancellatus cover the rocks, and
may be collected at low tide; another mile along in the same direction
we come to Harris Bay, another good station; here several species of.
Spyridia and Liagora abound, also two species of Sphacelaria, Wrigh-
tiella Blodgettii, Digenea simplex and others; it is the only station for
Udotea conglutinata and Rosenvingia intricata. Devonshire Bay just
beyond we did not find very productive, but a mile and a half farther
on is Hungry Bay, which will reward several visits at different seasons;
Dictyotas and Dictyopteris abound here in summer, and in the tidal
creek Howe collected Acicularia Schenckii, the only time it has been
found in Bermuda; in this’ creek also is excellent Ernodesmis verti-
cillata. Geminella scalariformis forma marina was found in a pool in
the rocks on the west side of the bay.

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. 13

Ely’s Harbor and Mangrove Bay towards the west end of the
group are noted for nothing in particular, but are by no means barren;
in the former we found a better growth of Porphyra atropurpurea
than elsewhere. Now crossing the land to the shore on the inside of
the great hook that this end of the group makes, and going along to
the neighborhood of Gibbs Hill light, we come to Jew’s Bay and
Heron Bay, in both of which good collecting may be had, especially
in the latter, with its shallow still water and sunny exposure; we
found it very fertile with several species of Gracilaria, Laurencia,
Spyridia, Chondria curvilineata and other things. Coming back to
Hamilton we may find something at Salt Kettle. The wall of the
quay at Hamilton below low tide is well covered with algae, and a big
timber float lying there yielded a rich harvest of Polysiphonia foeti-
dissima. This brings us round to the point of beginning.

appearance of the stratum, from thick gelatinous masses to thin
films, also in the development of the concentric walls; in a rock pool
of fresh water, near the Old Ferry road, we collected a form quite
without these walls, closely resembling Aphanothece microscopica,

of the opinion that there is no justification for keeping color forms
distinct taxonomically. Both colors occur in nature, both in dried
material; plants originally aeruginous may change to red, plants
originally red fade to pale green. We have no suggestion to make as
to the causes determining these changes, except the general principle
in regard to filamentous Nostocaceae, that red forms generally occur
where the plant is always under water, not left exposed at low tide.

More slender than the other species of the genus, the cells relatively
longer. The cluster of*filaments winds about among the utricles of
the host, the continued growth of the two plants causing the endophyte
to turn and twist very sharply.

Bornet, 1889a, p. 155, shows that Conferva mirabilis Dillwyn, 1807,

earlier date, and therefore changes the name to S. mirabile (Dillw.)
Bornet. But as the starting point for nomenclature of the hetero-
eysted Nostochaceae is definitely fixed at the Bornet & Flahault
monograph, it appears as if the later name by Bornet cannot be sub-
stituted.

this species is a fresh water plant from Barbados, described and
figured as Hormospora scalariformis by G. S. West, 1904a, p. 282, PI.
CCCCLNIV, figs. 6-7. In the Bermuda plant the cells are some-
times longer in proportion to the diameter, and the wall of the fila-
ment shows no differentiated portion about the individual cell. It is
probable that Hormotrichum bermudianum Harvey is the same plant,
but the specimens of the latter cannot be found. Rein, 1873, p. 153,
gives this name as Harvey, sp. n. Dr. Mébius has kindly looked for
it in the collection at Frankfort, and was unable to find it. Professor
Dixon of the University of Dublin tells us that he cannot find it in the

the rather large, longitudinally seriate cells, and the many branches
of a few series or a single series of cells. Sometimes long, subsimple

It is the E. plumosa of Borgesen, the E. Hopkirki of Vickers, as shown
by authentic specimens; whether the plants passing under these
names in the North Atlantic are identical with this and with each
other may be questioned. If there should prove to be two species,
an examination of original specimens would be needed to decide what
names to use.

In explanation of the synonymy just given, we must go into a little
detail. The genus Cylindrocapsa and the species C. involuta were
founded by Reinsch on vegetative characters only; the fructification
was discovered by Cienkowski, described and well figured by him, 1876,
p. 560, Pl. IX, figs. 50-65. Wolle, 1877, p. 140, described Hormospora
geminella, vegetative characters only; in 1887, p. 104, Cylindrocapsa
geminella with description of fructification. Pl. XCI, figs. 1-17 is
supposed to represent the latter, but is not very instructive. No
reference is made to Hormospora geminella. Hansgirg, 1886,’ p. 223,

Wolle Bull. of the Tor. Bot. Club 1877)” and describes var. minor.
The diameter of cells given for the typical C. geminella, 20-24 u, does
not agree with Wolle’s figures, 16-21 « for Hormospora, 14-16 u for
Cylindrocapsa, but are nearer C. involuta Reinsch, 23-30 4. Hans-
girg’s var. minor is said to be 12-15 u, diam., exceptionally 18-25 y, in
very young filaments 9-12 4, which would certainly include Wolle’s
C. geminella. On comparing all the descriptions and figures, we can
find no real distinction between C. involuta, C. geminella and C.
geminella var. minor; and in the Bermuda material we can match
practically every figure. We have therefore used the oldest name.

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. 37

In an artificial fresh water reservoir near Spanish Rock, Jan., Hervey,
Aug., Collins. Type in herb. Collins, No. 7812.

The basal cell is depressed-globose, 20-24 u diam., 12-16 uy high;
the first cell above is 6-8 uw diam., 2-3 diam. long; the filament may
continue of the same diameter, or may increase up to 12 y, the cells
1-2 diam. long; occasionally the diam. reaches 20 u, the cells about
one diam. long and moniliform; at any point a larger filament may
suddenly change to the smaller diameter, a cell of 8-10 » following a
cell of 12-20 u. Oogonia were not uncommon, but were very gener-
ally abortive; in the few instances where they seemed normal they
were regularly globose, and contained a globose oospore, quite filling
the oogonium, of orange yellow color. The division of the oogonium
was median or slightly higher; no antheridia were seen.

The study being made from formalin material, the development of
the zoospores could not be followed, but they must have been pro-
duced in immense numbers. Cells of Pithophora kewensis were seen,
completely covered with zoospores which had affixed themselves, but
still retained the spherical form, and were 16-24 uw diam.; the appear-
ance was much like that of a filament of Lyngbya covered with Xeno-
coccus, as shown in Bornet & Thuret, 1880, Pl. X XVI, fig. 1. The
zoospores seemed to secrete some adhesive substance from the cell
wall, forming a sort of collar underneath the cell, extending beyond
the diameter of the cell, so as to be visible from above as well as from
the side. Something similar is seen in Chantransia collopoda Rosen-
vinge, 1898, fig. 10, A. As the densely packed zoospores germinate,
the host soon becomes indistinguishable, the sporelings forming a
bristly mass, to the filaments of which more zoospores attach them-
selves, adhering to the young Oedogonium filaments in the same way
as to the Pithophora. It seems probable, however, that often the
zoospores adhere to each other in a larger or smaller rounded mass;
when they germinate the radiating filaments form an echinate body,
which is different from anything we find recorded for the genus, except
the figures of O. pachyandrium in Wolle, 1887, Pl. LX XIII, figs. 88 and
39.

These figures though rude and in no way showing the evolution of
the cluster, give a fair idea of the appearance. These masses often
contain hundreds, probably thousands of spores, and before germi-
nation has much progressed, look like bits of fish roe. In the material
of No. 7812 the Pithophora appeared to be fairly smothered by the
Oedogonium, many of the cells dead; the greater part of the spores
were attached to Oedogonium filaments or to each other; in No. 7368

material the Oedogonium was less abundant, and except a few loose
clusters was all on the Pithophora, which was still uninjured; Rhizo-
clonium hieroglyphicum was much more common in this material than
Pithophora, but was quite free from the Oedogonium. The nearest
relative would seem to be O. inversum Wittr., which has capitate cells
of approximately the same size, and a broadened basal cell, but has
cells uniformly 12-14 u diam., and up to 8 diam. long; rather larger
oospores, with quite low division; the basal cell is attached by the flat
lower surface, while in O. consociatum the lower surface is convex,
resting in the ring by which it is affixed to the host.

thick wall; a small papilla-like extension passing through the wall of
the host, then opening to permit the exit of the spores (7); spores

in secund series, passing around the host; in older plants the branching
may be quite dense, with no regularity discernible. The wall is very
thin in the younger cells, but becomes quite thick in the older; the
chromatophore is dense, and nearly or quite covers the wall. Bristles
appear to be rare, and those we saw were short, evidently broken off.
In the oldest parts of the plant, most of the cells had become sporangia,
many of them had emptied, and only one was seen containing spores;
these appeared spherical, but no details could be made out from the
formalin material. The host has thick, distinctly laminate walls,
and the Endoderma seems to push apart the laminae without difficulty;
in one case two plants were seen, one outside the other, separated by
one of the laminae of the host. In another case a plant was seen
quite on the outside of the host wall; in this the cells were quite small
and spherical; it seems probable that the lamina of the host under
which they grew had peeled off, and the cells took the unusual form
on release of the pressure.

ceptible to the eye, it was noticed only in the examination of the
Codium material preserved in formalin, so that nothing can be said
as to the characters of the supposed zoospores; everything was how-
ever similar to the formation and emission of zoospores in the larger
and better known species of Chaetomorpha. Emptied cells were
common, sometimes every cell of a filament being fertile, even the
basal cell; in one instance a filament consisted of a single cell, which
had emptied itself through the small round lateral opening. In the
form of the cells, thick laminate wall, dense chromatophore with many |
pyrenoids, the plant is a microscopic copy of forms like C. Linum.
Rather curiously, it is the only attached form we find in the islands.

ton Sound, April, Collins. Forming loose floating masses, sometimes
pure, sometimes in company with Lyngbya and Enteromorpha. In the
latter case the algae form a felted stratum on the surface of the
water so firm that the shore birds may be seen in large flocks, walking
on it as if it were land, while they pick the small animals living among
it. Whether this plant is the same as C. heteronema Kiitz., as described
by Boérgesen, 1913, p. 25, may be a question. C. flavescens Harvey,
1846-51, Pl. CCXCVIII, Collins, 1909, p. 339, is certainly distinct,
but we have not found it here; it seems to be a more northern form.
Reinbold, 1893, p. 196, considers Conferva expansa of Jiirgens Alg.
Aquat. as distinct from Cladophora fracta forma marina, and refers
for details to Farlow, 1881, p. 56; but the C. fracta forma marina of
Farlow is a plant of much smaller filaments than the Hauck plant of
the same name. We have found a plant in Harrington Sound, that
could, without violence, pass for a slender form of C. fracta forma
marina of Hauck, but it seems to us to fit equally well, if not better,
in C. expansa, as we understand it.

in Collins herbarium, No. 8427.

The water in this pool is quite still, the tide having access only by
small openings in the wall. The plant formed a loose mass, over one
meter in diameter, the lower part caught on coral; the appearance was
quite that of a loose Spirogyra. Though crisp to the touch, the fronds
collapsed immediately on being taken from the water; the living plant
is of a light green color, but this becomes dark in drying. There is
some similarity in the characters above to those of the description of
C. Macallana Harv., but that is a stouter and stiffer plant, with differ-
ent habit. C. patens Kiitz. has cells 4-8 diam. long, larger main fila-

In a stone tank above the bridge at Fairyland, Dec. 13, 1915. Type
in Collins herbarium, No. 8513.

Though occurring in a station similar to that of C. piscinae, and in
some points resembling the latter, it has seemed to us better to con-
sider it a distinct species than to combine the two by too vague a
description. C. piscinae, though crisp, promptly collapses when
taken from the water, C. rigidula long keeps its shape and stiffness;
the distinction is as marked as that between Polysiphonia violacea
and P. fastigiata. In C. piscinae the cells are seldom under three or
over five diam. long; in C. rigidula they are seldom over two diam.,
often only one diam. for a good part of the frond; the terminal cell is,
however, often three diam. long. In both the ultimate ramuli are
patent, often at a right angle; in C. piscinae they are scattered and
usually distant, in C. rigidula closer and often in secund series. The
differences can hardly be due to the station, as each grew in a stone
tank, sea water going in and out with the tide, but with no active
current, and no disturbance of the surface. On the other hand it has
some resemblance to the plant from Harrington Sound which we
distributed, P. B.-A., No. 2014, as C. utriculosa, but is still further

removed from the typical Mediterranean form. In the latter the
cells below are 6-8 diam. long, 2-4 diam. above, while in the present
species only the terminal cell is usually over 2 diam. long. It seems
to us safer to treat it as a new species than to put it in a species whose
typical form, at least, is so distinct.

loosely branched, but in forma crustacea the cells form a dense mass,
and might be mistaken for one of the solid-fronded species of Dictyo-

ferent manner of attachment of the cells. It has some resemblance
to V. macrophysa, but the cells are smaller, closely adherent and more
elongate. It appears to be a form of shallow water, forming dense

In habit somewhat resembling C. adhaerens and C. difforme, but
the frond in these is continuous, with margin entire or lobed; in C.
intertextum the frond is narrow and branching, the branches being so
densely set as to make an almost continuous coating, one branch
often over another. ‘The utricles are of much the same size and shape
as in C. adhaerens, but the structure of the latter is dorsiventral, the
utricles on the upper side only, the lower, adherent surface consisting
of the slender tubes, which in C. intertextum form a central layer,
surrounded on all sides by the utricles, rarely the middle part of the

size of C. decorticatum; its branching is not as dense as that of C.
interteztum, being more like that of C. tomentosum, but without the
erect habit. The utricles vary somewhat in shape and size, as in all
species of the genus, but the long, slender shape, the end either sharply
truncate or slightly capitate, is distinct from the shape in all other
American species except C. adhaerens. Type 7070 in Collins her-
barium, from Tucker’s Town, April 25, 1912. Also from Ely’s
Harbor, July, Gibbet Island, Sept., Collins; Gravelly Bay, Dec.,
Hervey. All records of C. adhaerens for Bermuda probably belong
here.

habit and size, but usually less densely branched than C. tomentosum,
the branches often quite virgate; usually compressed more or less at
or below the axils. But there are often cases when the two species
are indistinguishable by external characters; the size of the utricles
must then determine; in C. tomentosum 100-150 u diam. rarely to
200 uw; in C. decorticatum 300-400 uw diam. rarely to 2004. There has

been some question as to whether the distinction between these two
species should be based on the size of the utricles, or on the presence
or absence of compression; the matter is fully discussed by Bornet,
1892, p. 216. We have adopted the former plan. It must be kept in
mind that in actively growing plants or parts of plants, small and
immature utricles occur among those of normal size. C. decorticatum
sometimes grows to a large size; one plant which we found growing
below low water mark in Harrington Sound was nearly a meter long
and over 10 em. wide in the expanded part; it was the largest alga we
have seen in Bermuda, except possibly some Sargassum. It is un-
fortunate that the rather appropriate name of elongatum should have -
to be replaced by the quite inappropriate decorticatum, but as shown
by Howe, it seems inevitable.

Utricles very variable in form; some cyclindrical or slightly clavate,
SO X 4804; some 5004. long, increasing in size upward to 1124,

The largest utricle observed was 980 long, 480 » diam. The plant
is so firm in texture that it does not collapse when taken from the

from which it is frequently indistinguishable, except that the fila-

The name is a somewhat unfortunate result of following the rules of
botanical nomenclature; the authors of the binomial used it for a
different plant, A. nigricans.. Rhipilia longicaulis, from which it
derives its specific name, is according to the type specimen the
present species, while the description and figure given by Kiitzing
belong better to a third species, A. sordida Murray & Boodle. The
arguments in favor of the name used here are found in Howe, 1907,
p. 509; those in favor of preferring A. Mazei Murray & Boodle in
Gepp, 1911, p. 27; a later summation will be found in Howe, 1911, p.

These forms all pass into each other. Bérgesen considers H. Monile
and //. simulans also as forms of this species, and it may be that he is
right as to the former, but the differences between these two, and the
three forms that we consider to belong to H. tridens, are greater than
the differences among the latter. Gepp and Boérgesen prefer the name
H. incrassata to H. tridens; the case for the former is stated by Bér-

Near Flatts bridge, Feb., Hervey. Type in Collins herb.

The habit of this variety is strikingly different from that of typical
B. Duchassaingii, and the very regular pinnate branching makes it a
beautiful object; but in a genus where there is so much variation
within each species, it is hardly safe to consider this a distinct species.

fig. 1; .Collins, 1909, p. 405; P. B.-A., No. 1871. Rein, as B. plumosa;
Kemp, as B. plumosa, in part, B. hypnoides, in part. In Collins, 1909,
B. pennata, B. Leprieurit and B. Harveyana were kept distinct, chiefly
on the judgment of Miss Vickers, who was familiar with them at
Barbados. Since then we have examined some 200 specimens of
Bryopsis of Miss Vickers’ collecting, and some hundreds of specimens
from Bermuda, and we have come to the conclusion that while typical
examples of these three are quite distinct, intermediate forms are more
common, and specific distinction is impracticable. So far we agree
with Bérgesen, 1911, p. 145, and 1913, p. 117, but we cannot agree
with him in placing them all under B. plumosa (Huds.) Ag. The
normal form of B. pennata seems to be a long, simple rachis, with
short, distichous ramuli of uniform length, giving a linear outline to
the frond. In B. plumosa the rachis bears lateral branches, increasing
in length from the apex to the base, so as to give a triangular outline,
usually broadly triangular, to the frond. Each of the branches has a
similar triangular outline. There is much variation in luxuriance of
branching, but in examining a considerable series of B. plumosa from
northern Europe and America, to the Mediterranean on one side, to
North Carolina on the other, we have seen nothing like the linear form.
Among the abundant material from Barbados and Bermuda we have
found no plants with repeated triangular outline of the frond and its
divisions. We recognize the same varieties as Bérgesen, but place
them under B. pennata, the oldest name for the distinctly linear forms.
The species and its varieties are to be found almost everywhere in the
islands, but one must expect more intermediate than typical forms;
moreover old plants become denuded, and present many puzzles.

The form from Cliff Pool deserves special notice; Cliff Pool is a
name we have used for a small but deep pool, near the SW. corner of
Harrington Sound, between Tucker’s Bay and Green Bay. It has a
steep cliff on the side towards the sea; on the other side it is near the
Sound, but separated from it by land considerably above its level.
It evidently has underground connection with the Sound, the water
rising and falling somewhat with the tide. On the surface of this
pool, in April and May, 1912, was a floating mass of algae, chiefly
C. crassifolia, C. racemosa and C. sertularioides. The stolons floated
on the surface, the fronds extending beside them, the tapering rhi-
zoids hanging straight down, sometimes reaching a length of 2 dm.,
reminding one of the roots of a Lemna or Spirodela, on a larger scale.
Borgesen, 1907, p. 344, classifies the Caulerpas under three types.
(1) The epiphytic or mud-collecting Cauperpas. (2) The sand and
mud Caulerpas. (3) Rock and coral-reef Caulerpas. These three
types are represented in Bermuda, and we can now add a fourth, the
floating Caulerpas. Evidently this form can occur only at a station
with considerable depth of water, not reached by surf, sheltered from
winds, and with no current. Specimens collected here in May
have been distributed as P. B.-A., Nos. 1873 and 2021. The station
was revisited in August, 1913, but only a few bleached individuals were
found; apparently the plants could not endure the intense heat of the
midsummer sun.

approximately as long as their diameter, separated by a narrow trans-

plant agrees fully with Bornet’s figure as to form and dimension of
horizontal filaments and sporangia; the erect filaments are in part
simple, as figured by Bornet, in part like those figured by Sauvageau,
1896a, fig. 1, being recurved near the tips, and bearing numerous
longer or shorter branches, mostly on the outer side of the curve. The
unilocular sporangia are rare, but well developed. P. Hooperi,

description of P. fulvescens by Bornet with that of Pylaiella sp.
(Ectocarpus Hooperi Crouan) on the following page, the chief dis-

127-128; P. B.-A., No. 2077. Major’s Bay, March, Hervey. On
sticks and twigs, outlet of aquarium, Agar’s Island, Aug., Collins.
The Major’s Bay plant agrees with Bérgesen’s description and figures,
and with a specimen of Miss Vickers, Barbados, No. 89. The plant
from the aquarium outlet differs in the absence of hairs, and in the
greater variability of form of the plurilocular sporangia. These are
often exactly like Bérgesen’s figures, but in other instances the cylindri-
cal or clavate body of the sporangium has a shortly acuminate or
subulate apex; the same occurs in Miss Vickers specimen. Unilocu-
Jar sporangia were not seen. The cells were all very densely packed,
and it was only in the youngest that the irregularly rounded disks of
the chromatophores could be seen. Though there were no hairs, the
branches often ended in a long simple filament, 10-14 » diam., with
longer cells than in the rest of the plant, but all were well supplied
with chromatophores. The sporangia were sometimes sessile, oftener
on a short pedicel, occasionally terminating a branch, as shown in
Boérgesen’s fig. 128e. The cell bearing a sporangium was usually
distinctly shorter than the adjacent cells, as in FE. indicus Sonder, as
noted by Mme. Weber, 1913, p. 129, fig. 34. We are inclined to agree
with Boérgesen that EF. Duchassiangus may be merely a form of E.
indicus, but for the present it seems better to retain the former name.
The station where this plant occurred is a peculiar one; the salt water
outlet of the aquarium is well up in the rock at the shore of the island;
the water runs down into the sea, stalks of grass and other objects
reached by it being covered by a dense coating of various kinds of
algae, Enteromorpha predominating, but also other Chlorophyceae
and several Myxophyceae; the variations of this material from the
type may be due in some way to the exceptional conditions.

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. ra

differs somewhat from the typical, but not enough to raise any ques-
tion as to identity. Our form comes nearer to the type from New
Guinea. The only marked difference is in the basal portion of the
plant growing on Codium. When growing on Sargassum it formed a
more or less definite basal layer, from which short rhizoids issued,
entering the host. On the Codiwm there is no definite basal layer,
but a compact bundle of irregular rhizoidal filaments, narrower than
the assimilating filaments, with few chromatophores, and cells up
to 10 diam. long. The lower ends of these rhizoids separate more or
less, and spread among the utricles of the host. This difference is
explainable by the difference in structure of the hosts. On the Gala-
xaura the rhizoids are less conspicuous. Plurilocular sporangia, simi-
lar to those figured by Heydrich, were abundant.

the difference being probably due to the firmer tissue of the host
in the latter case, Cystoclonium purpurascens.

sionally stouter than in the Barbados and St. Thomas material, up to
40 w diam., but usually not over 30 yu, in lesser divisions down to 20 yu,
in hairs to 10 yu. There is a system of descending filaments, irregular
and twisted, but otherwise like the erect filaments, extending for quite
a distance in the tissues of the host; plurilocular sporangia agree in
form, dimensions and position with Bérgesen’s figure.

filaments in Myriotrichia and their absence in Streblonema is the only
. distinguishing character.

provisionally give the same name used by Boérgesen. It was distrib-
uted by us as C. mediterranea (Kiitz.) Bornet, but is not Cladosiphon
mediterraneus Kiitzing, as shown by comparison with an authentic
specimen of the latter, for which we are indebted to the kindness of

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. iD

Dr. M. A. Howe. It is certainly not C. Zosterae Farlow, 1881, p. 86,
Alg. Am.-Bor. Exsice., No. 162, but resembles C. virescens Farlow,
1881, p. 85, Eudesme virescens P. B.-A., No. 33, which is the same as
Mesogloia virescens Carmichael in Wyatt, Alg. Danm., No. 49.
Though some writers speak of C. virescens as having a solid axis, C.
Zosterae as hollow, for instance Bornet, 1892, p. 236, the statement is
true of the former only in the earlier stages. “A section of the frond
of a well-developed C. virescens shows a circle of roundish cells around
a central cavity”; Farlow, |. c. The description and figure of C.
Zosterae Borgesen, agree with the Bermuda plant.

In New England and northern Europe there are two species of
Castagnea, which are well distinguished by Farlow as C. virescens and
C. Zosterae; the former resembles the Bermuda plant; the latter,
quite distinct, is the Myriocladia Zosterae Crouan, Alg. Mar. Finistére,
No. 49, and the Castagnea Zosterae of Le Jolis, 1863, p. 85, fide spec.
authent.; but it may be open to question whether it is the Mesogloia
virescens var. zostericola Harvey, 1846-1851, Pl. LX XXII, of which
Harvey says “only differs in being of smaller size, with less compound
ramification; there is no microscopic character to distinguish it.”
And in the Nereis Bor.-Am., part 1, 1852, p. 127, where he recognizes
two species as distinct, he questions the identity of his Mesogloia
Zosterae with the species of Lyngbye and Areschoug. His plate X. B,
M. virescens, is drawn from a specimen from Sand Key, Florida, to
which we will refer later; we do not think it is the VW. virescens of
New England and northern Europe. Plate X. A, M. Zosterae, is
incorrect and misleading, as pointed out by Farlow. If it should
prove that Rivularia Zosterae Mohr, 1810, p. 367, was identical with
Mesogloia virescens Carmichael, Castagnea Zosterae would be the proper
name for the spring plant of, New England and northern Europe, and
a new name would be needed for the smaller summer plant now known
by that name. As to the identity of C. virescens of New England and
northern Europe with the Bermuda plant, we are not now prepared to
point out distinctive characters. But the southern plant is usually
stouter, less branched, and with a firmer gelatine. For the purpose
of comparison we have examined a large number of specimens of
Castagnea (or Mesogloia) virescens of northern Europe and New Eng-
land, including specimens from Mrs. Griffiths, Mrs. Wyatt, Greville,
Harvey, Le Jolis ete.; with very few exceptions they bore unilocular
sporangia; none had plurilocular. Of Castagnea (or Myriocladia)
Zosterae we have examined a considerable number, including speci-
mens from Le Jolis and Crouan, and the No. 162 of Farlow, Anderson

76 COLLINS AND HERVEY.

& Eaton; with one exception, sterile, all had plurilocular sporangia,
none unilocular. Of the Bermuda plant we have examined many
specimens of different ages and from different stations; with the
exception of a very few, very young or very old individuals, sterile,
all bear both uni- and plurilocular sporangia on the same individual.
To add to the confusion, the plant from Florida, distributed as C.
mediterranea, P. B.-A., No. 481, when compared with the Bermuda
plant now seems to be distinct both from that and from Cladosiphon
mediterraneus Ixiitz. The peripheral filaments seem to be not so
much laterally attached to the external longitudinal filaments as
continuations of them or their branches; the basal cell, up to 254
diam., followed by several similar colorless cells rapidly diminishing
to about 12 uw diam.; above this begins the peripheral filament proper,
with colored cells about 7-9 diam.; this is several times dicho-
tomous, the cells, except the few lower ones, spherical, increasing in
size up to 15 yu, sometimes to 20 u diam., the filaments strongly in-
curved; unilocular sporangia, 70-80 & 55-60 uw in the lower forkings.
The frond does not exceed 10 em. in height, and has few branches.
Harvey’s figure of Mesogloia virescens, 1852, Pl. X. B, was drawn
from a plant from Sand Key, Florida, and we have examined two
specimens collected by Harvey at that place at that time; they agree
with P. B.-A., No. 481, except that they have no fruit. In Harvey’s
plate fig. 4 represents quite well the upper part of a peripheral filament
of this plant, but is quite different from a filament of C. virescens.
We have found only one European specimen agreeing with P. B.-A.,
No. 481; this is “No. 572, Société dauphinoise, 1882, Cladosiphon
mediterraneus Kiitz. (Vidit Bornet, 1882) Portofino (Ligurie orientale)
sur les feuilles de Posidonia Caulini. Dr. A. Piccone, Mai, 1876.”
This specimen was received by one of us from Dr. Piccone. Sauva-
geau, 1897, p. 46, discusses Castagnea, assuming correctly enough that
if Castagnea is maintained, Cladosiphon Kiitzing should be divided
between Castagnea, Nemacystus etc. But the name Cladosiphon
clearly antedates Castagnea, and under the international rules should
be retained for C. mediterraneus and its congeners. Eudesme J. G.
Agardh seems to have no claim to distinctness from Cladosiphon.
We refrain from making any new combinations, in the hope that
Kuckuck’s work on the Phaeophyceae may soon appear, and bring
order out of the present chaos.

Collins. This species is not uncommonly found among the floating
algae left by the tide but it has never been found attached, and as it
is a conspicuous plant, it is not likely that it has been overlooked. It
is common on the American coast from New Jersey to the arctic
regions, but rarely reaches to low water mark, and does not grow in
places exposed to the full force of the waves. There is no reason to
suppose that it grows here in deep water, or on the outer reefs awash
with the waves, the only class of localities not well explored. Prof.
Sauvageau, to whom we are much indebted for information as to its
habits in Europe, writes us “Jamais je n’ai vu |l’Ascophyllum dans
les stations franchement exposées au choc des vagues, mais toujours
dans les stations plus ou moins abritées, par exemple dans les anses
rocheuses, dans les petits ports, sur les rochers qui émergent parmi
la vase. C’est une plante de mi-marée.” As regards the general
question of brown algae washed ashore in places on the Bay of Biscay,
where they do not grow, he says, “En résumé, |’ Ascophyllum, rejeté,
arrive en trés bon état, fructifié ou non, selon la saison, mais on ne
peut dire s’il a flotté trés longtemps, puisqu’il vit sur les rochers & une
trentaine de kilometres de 1a. L’ Himanthalia est dans le méme cas.
Mais le Cystoseira concatenata et le Sargassum vulgare viennent sure-
ment de trés loin, et cependant leurs organes reproducteurs sont aptes
ilafecondation. Les algues brunes, normalment fixées, se conservent
trés bien a l’état flottant, beaucoup mieux qu’on le croit generalment.
Done, & mon avis, il n’est nullement nécessaire que |’ Ascophyllum
croisse aux Bermudes pour que vous l’y trouvez rejeté; il peut y
arriver en trés bon état, et méme capable de produire des fécondations
et des germinations, bien qu’il provienne d’un pays lointain et qu’il
ait flotté longtemps.’ It seems to us quite unlikely that the plants
found at Bermuda could have come from the American coast across
the Gulf Stream. The chances are certainly greater for its European
origin, and there is good reason to suppose that it forms a portion,

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. 79

a relatively small portion, to be sure, of the living and floating brown
algae of the North Atlantic, which have given a certain district of it
the name of the “Sargasso Sea.”” Bouvier, 1907, p. 35, says “Ca et la,
parmi les Sargasses, on rencontre quelques fragments de Fucus nodo-
sus, arrachées certainement aux rivages des Canaries, de Madeére ou
des Acores.” To be sure, Sauvageau, 1907, p. 1084, points out that
the Fucus (Ascophyllum) has never been reported growing at the
Canaries, Madeira or the Azores; but Bouvier’s erroneous assumption
does not invalidate his record of the occurrence of the plant as
described. Bérgesen, 1914a, p. 14, note, says “Professor Gran has
most kindly communicated me that Ascophyllum was found in the
northern part of the Sargasso Sea, and rather abundant.” We think
it may be concluded that Ascophyllum, the original derivation
unknown, continues to live in a floating state among the Sargassum of
the North Atlantic in active vegetation, and at least occasionally
fruiting.

low water mark and sometimes higher up. JT. trialata Kiitz., the
common species of the West Indies, we have not found, and though
the two species have much in common, we have found no plants
that would raise any doubt as to their distinctness. Quite young
plants were found in August; in these neither alae nor costae had yet
been formed. The mature plants, in December and January, are
from 10 to 15 em. high; the root is rather slender, much branched,
2-4 cm. long; as the plants grow close together, the roots are inter-
mixed, but so loosely that individual plants can be separated without

difficulty. .

SO COLLINS AND HERVEY.

SarGassuM Agardh.

The Sargassa abound everywhere in warmer water; there have been
very many species described, and new ones are continually added to
the list; undoubtedly there have been many cases where observers
from distant regions have described the same species independently
and in good faith; ultimately one of the names must give way to the
other. On the other hand more conservative botanists have used
the name of a well-known species for a form found at a station distant
from the home of the species, and sooner or later the later named form
will have to be segregated. Whether mistakes made by too radical
or by too conservative treatment are more harmful, will probably
remain an open question in botanical as in other matters. In our
treatment of the Bermuda species, we find in some of them more or
less noticeable differences from the species of the same name elsewhere,
and we have given an account of the characters of each of the species
we recognize, and have drawn these characters from Bermuda speci-
mens, not from descriptions of others.

p. 54; Fucus natans Linnaeus, 1753, p. 1160; Fucus bacciferus Turner,
1808, p. 105, Pl. XLVII. Stem long, slender, smooth, with more or
less distant similar branches; leaves long, slender, linear, with many
sharp teeth, cryptostomata wanting or inconspicuous; vesicles numer-
ous, on long slender pedicels, and usually with a filiform prolongation;
fructification unknown; unattached, floating near the surface of the sea,
forming loose floating patches, or strips in the line of the direction of
the wind; in quiet water the tips of the leaves project above the water,
like bristles; drifting ashore at all times, and in case of storms in
immense quantities, and used as a fertilizer. It inhabits a large area
in the North Atlantic, within a boundary formed by the Gulf Stream
and its subsidiaries, reaching the coast of Europe, turning south and
then west to its origin in the Gulf of Mexico. It has an active vege-
tative growth, the lower part of the stem decaying, increasing the
number of individuals by fragmentation. It has never been found
attached nor in fruit, and though in all probability originally derived
from an attached form, it now appears to be so changed by its mode of
life that it is unlikely that the attached species from which it was
derived will ever be certainly determined.?°

In several instances there have been reports of finding this species
in fruit, but in each case when examined there are circumstances
leading to the conclusion that the plant observed belonged to some
other species.

mostly smooth, occasionally with a few spines, much _ branched;
leaves lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, thickish, cryptostomata present
but not conspicuous, teeth short and triangular; vesicles spherical,
about 5 mm. diam., short-pedicelled, usually without prolongations;
fructification unknown. Floating with S. natans, but less abundant;
propagated by fragmentation only. It may be derived from S,
Hystrix J. Ag., but if so the derivation is remote and the differ-
entiation considerable. Both S. natans and S. fluitans are lighter in
color than the attached species.

branches, elongate, virgate, bearing leaves, fructification, and short
branches; stems slender, terete, densely muriculate with short simple
or forked papillae, which are occasionally more scattered on the older
parts; leayes thickly set at the tips of the main branches and along
short lateral branches, linear and attenuate to both ends, 1-2 mm.
wide, up to 5 em. long, simple or forked, margin irregularly dentate with
small distant teeth, in young leaves larger and more frequent; midrib
not specially conspicuous; cryptostomata rather large, a single series
each side of the midrib, rather irregularly spaced; vesicles 3-6 mm.
diam., smooth, or sometimes with cryptostomata, subspherical on a
filiform pedicel of uniform diameter, or pyriform on a pedicel enlarged
above; pedicel smooth, length one and one half to three times the
diameter of the vesicle, usually unarmed, occasionally with a small
mucro, rarely with a short filiform prolongation. Rachis of fructifica-
tion usually short, sterile and filiform, or fertile and torulose, bearing
several alternate, torulose, fertile branches, with subacute tip, one
half to one cm. long; fructification mostly on the lower part of short
branches of the second order with leaves about them on the branches.

The above description refers to the attached plant of quiet waters,
but individuals more slender than the typical form can be found, in
which the stem is almost entirely smooth and the rachis of fructifica-
tion quite elongate. As with other species of Sargassum, individuals
are to be found among the masses of S. natans floating after storms,
and these show a certain resemblance to the latter, but their condition
shows indications of their not persisting.

shallow water all around the islands. A stout torulose trunk, 1-3 em.

slightly dentate; occasionally forked, usually much crisped, midrib
distinct, cryptostomata small, scattered; vesicles spherical, smooth,
usually about 3 mm. diam., occasionally 5 mm., on filiform pedicels
usually shorter than the diameter of the vesicle, rarely with short tips.
Fructification of filiform branching receptacles, the main rachis usually
distinct, stouter than the radial branches, which may reach a length
of 2cm. in the looser forms, but usually do not reach a length of 1 em.;

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. S3

branching more or less dense, when dense often apparently dichoto-
mous, tips acute; sometimes fertile throughout, sometimes rachis or
even branches sterile. Fructification mostly on the upper part of
the axes, often occupying these to the exclusion of leaves and vesicles,
but also sometimes on short branches on the lower part of the axes.
Specially a plant of exposed shores.

1889, p. 108; Fucus foliosissimus Lamouroux, 1813, p. 36, Pl. VII,
fig. 1. Cooper’s Island, April, Hervey. From a very short trunk
arise several main axes, mostly smooth, sometimes slightly muricu-
late, bearing more or less numerous similar branches; leaves lanceo-
late to oblong, the margins finely and closely dentate; midrib distinct,
cryptostomata abundant and without definite order on the younger
leaves, often obsolete on the older and thicker leaves; vesicles spheri-
eal, 3-5 mm. diam., without prolongation, on a pedicel equal to the
diameter or longer; receptacles axillary, branching, fertile through-
out, verrucose, shorter than the leaves.

At Spanish Point, March, Hervey, was found a form probably
belonging here, but without fruit; the leaves are narrower and nearly
entire; it may be S. vulgare, typical; S. vulgare varies much in the size
and form of the leaves.

times forked, the divisions sometimes equal and symmetrical, oftener
subpinnate and alternate; leaves tapering gradually or abruptly
to the subacute tip; midrib distinct throughout leaves and their
divisions; cryptostomata few, small, scattered, rarely showing a
linear arrangement; margin even or slightly undulate or indistinctly
dentate; vesicles spherical to subpyriform, 2-3 mm. diam., tipped
generally with a mucro, often with a leaf; pedicel in length one and
one half to three times the diameter of the vesicle, sometimes filiform,
often compressed, or with midrib and margin. Rachis of fructifica-
tion filiform, smooth, sterile, elongate, bearing rather distant lateral
branches at first with sterile base, later fertile throughout, sometimes
with a second series of similar branches, all branches at right angles,
of uniform diameter, torulose; ultimate divisions up to 3 em. long.

Generally characterized by the slenderness and delicacy of all the
parts; typical S. Filipendula, stouter and shorter, with broader and
more dentate leaves and more condensed fructification, has not been
found here.

7. S. Hysrrix J. G. Agardh, 1847, p. 7; 1889, p. 91, Pl. VI. Stem
terete, smooth; leaves thickish, lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, entire
or obscurely dentate, 3-6 cm. long, 4-8 mm. wide, midrib rather
indistinct, no cryptostomata; vesicles spherical, up to 7 mm. diam.,
pedicel short, sometimes imperceptible; fructification in dense glom-
erules of short, verrucose branches; receptacles, vesicles and leaves
densely packed along the little branched axis. Harris Bay, Dec.,
attached, Hervey; washed ashore on Agar’s and Bethel’s Islands
after a storm, Dec., Collins. Apparently recently torn from its
attachment.

While our plant appears to agree in all other respects with S. Hystriz,
the receptacles, though quite verrucose, show no spines or teeth.
We should hardly have ventured to give it this name, but for what is
said by Reinbold in Weber, 1913, as to sexual dimorphism in Sar-
gassum, with presence or absence of spines on the receptacles accord-
ing to sex. We suspect that another instance of dimorphism may be
found in 8S. platycarpum Montagne and S. vulgare Agardh, at least
the plant distributed under the latter name as P. B.-A., No. 178.
We have seen a large number of plants from Florida, some with smooth,
some with spiny receptacles, otherwise indistinguishable.

rectangular region divide, four cells from an original cortical cell,
and each of these cells grows out into a hair; the hairs are contracted
at base, lower cells about as long as their diameter, moniliform, with
rich contents; upper cells 5-6 diam. long, cylindrical, nearly empty.

on the depth of water. Dickie, 1874, p. 311, notes that the plants
dredged in 31 fathoms were mostly bluish green in color.

old, coarse and dark fronds. It differs much in the extent of division
of the fronds, from broad-cuneate and little parted, to fronds consisting
of innumerable narrow divisions, sometimes broad below, narrow
above, always more or less cuneate with apex truncate. Under water
it shows a very brilliant iridescence of peacock blue and green.

shallow, quiet water. The color is usually a quite light yellowish
brown on the upper side, the under side being usually covered with a
continuous but quite thin calcareous coating, white or bluish in color.
The dried plant is papyraceous and brittle. Only tetrasporie fruit
has been found, which was on plants collected in July and August.
The indusium consists of the epidermis, which is pushed up by the
spores as they grow, and finally ruptured; being very thin and trans-
parent it is not always easy to make out, but it often happens that
when it is pushed away from the frond, it retains the markings out-
lining the layer of cells beneath; in such case a fine network corre-
sponding to the cells can be seen with the microscope by careful
focusing, on a level with the top of the spores. This form of indusium
has been noted in Zonaria variegata by Sauvageau, 1905, p. 1i (of
reprint.)

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. 87

Gates Bay, March, Gibbet Island, April, Hervey. In the Bermuda
material identified with this species the frond is smaller throughout
and generally more delicate than in P. variegata, averaging much the
size and consistency of P. sanctae-crucis, and with a similar calcareous
coating. Tetrasporic fruit was well developed on the material from
both stations noted above. Sterile plants resembling the two species
just mentioned abound in warm shallow water, but can be distin-
guished only by sectioning and counting the layers of cells. In P.
Pavonia the sexual plant, which we have not found here, is monoecious;
in P. variegata it is dioecious, in both it is rare. While all American
forms of Padina were formerly placed under P. Pavonia, this seems to
be the first occurrence of the species on this side of the Atlantic. The
material from Florida distributed as P. Pavonia, P. B.-A., No. 1442a,
and that distributed as P. Durvillaci, P. B.-A., No. 580b, should be
referred to P. variegata; 1442b to P. gymnospora. The plant distrib-
uted as P. Durvillaei, 580a, closely resembles P. gymnospora, but in
the specimens now accessible the frond is uniformly two cells thick,
which would bring it under P. australis Hauck; but Mme. Weber, 1913,
p. 180, suggests that the latter may be only a form of P. gymnospora.
The true P. Durvillaei Mont., appears to be found only in the Pacific.

strips, or with many rounded proliferations; in texture from thin and
papery to thick and tough. It is however always darker than the
two preceding species, and with less conspicuous calcification, and
it is more than two cells in thickness, except at the growing edge, and
may be six layers in the older parts. Tetrasporic fruit is rather
common, oogonia infrequent; antheridia are known in this species,
but we have not found them here.

spores were found in abundance on plants collected in August; they
occur on both sides of the frond, the sori originally circular, about
1 mm. diam., or elongate, about 1 mm. wide. They increase in size,
often become confluent, forming irregular patches, more than 1 em.

no other form of fruit. There is little indication of rhizoidal filaments

regularly dichotomous throughout, the axils rather wide and rounded,
the divisions immediately incurving and often becoming parallel, the
apices rounded. Antheridia of the usual form were found on these
plants; also, on the same plants, scattered or in twos, tetrasporangia;
none of these were found showing the regular division into fours, but
in many the contents had divided into many small squarish cells, the
sporangium enlarging to two or three times its former dimensions,
and developing a point of growth at the tip. This closely parallels
the development in D. dichotoma, described and figured by Reinke,
1878, p. 8, Pl. I, figs. 31-35. The occurrence on the same frond with
antheridia is, however, noteworthy. We hardly see how D. volubilis
Vickers, Algues de la Barbade, No. 78a, can be distinguished from the
present species, apart from the spiral twisting of the frond. A plant
in the Kemp herbarium, marked D. fasciola, is intermediate between
D. indica and D. volubilis of the Algues de la Barbade.

is well characterized by the specific name.

ferent localities distributed under this name, one is led to suspect that |
more than one species is really in question. As originally described,
stress was laid on the acute apices, but later authors include forms with
distinctly blunt apices. Both forms occur among the Bermuda
material we have studied. It is probable that all species of the genus

publication by Lamouroux the specific name is Bartayresii. Few authors
refer to this rare and neglected paper, almost all starting from a later publi-
cation of the same year, 1809a, p. 48, in which the author, without stating
any reason, substitutes the name Bartayresiana.

are subject to much variation with age and environment, and much
study of living plants is needed before we can get a clear idea of specific
lines. What we consider as the normal form of the species in Bermuda
closely resembles No. 72 of Miss Vickers Algues de la Barbade; in
this some apices are acute, some rounded, on the same individual.
The branching seems intermediate between D. dichotoma and D.
dentata, with a suggestion of lateral branching not found in the former,
but not the distinctive character as in the latter. Antheridia were
common in material collected at all seasons; tetraspores occurred
occasionally on the same individual with antheridia, in July and
August. No rhizoidal filaments were seen. Mme. Weber, 1913,
p. 182, states that the type of D. Bartayresit cannot be found; she
speaks of Harvey’s figure as excellent, and we have taken it for our
standard.

narrow as in D. linearis, but the dichotomous habit, distinct in young
growing branches, is quite obscured in the older parts by the abundant,
mostly short, proliferous branches. By these the fronds are often
so densely matted that it is not easy to disentangle any individual
plant. Antheridia are abundant in this material, but no other form
of fruit was observed. The fronds seem to attach themselves by inter-
laced proliferous branches, with a few short, monosiphonous rhizoidal
filaments close to the tip.

There is considerable variation in the material which we now include
under D. ciliata, but after a re-examination of the form that we dis-
tributed as D. crenulata, we do hot feel justified in keeping it distinct.

of which we have examined several specimens, belongs under D.
ciliata. Agardh, 1848, p. 94, says of D. crenulata “ margine tenui
dentibus brevissimis late triangularibus initio fere serrato, demum
dentato aut crenato.”’ Harvey, 1852, says “The margin is undulated,
and closely eroso-denticulate, or jagged with unequal, deltoid or subu-
late, tooth-like processes.” In the Bermuda plants the margin is
quite even, and the teeth are of uniform size and never very closely
set. We have, however, seen a specimen of D. crenulata from the
Suhr herbarium “West Indien,” that fully agrees with Agardh’s
and Harvey’s descriptions. In the Bermuda material of this species
confervoid rhizoidal filaments arise from the lower part of the main
axis of the frond, often forming a dense, continuous mass for several
em.; proliferations are few and insignificant. Antheridia and oogonia
were found on specimens collected in February, tetrasporangia on
specimens collected in July.

Agardh, 1880, p. 98, gives D. Mertensii as a synonym of D. Brong-
niartii, mentioning D. subdentata without expressing an opinion as to
whether it should be referred to D. dentata or D. Brongniartii; later,
1894, p. 70, he recognizes D. dentata, D. Mertensii and D. Brongniartii
as distinct species. Hauck, 1888, p. 466, unites all four under the
oldest name, D. dentata, as it seems to us rightly. The distinctive
characters are found in the greater or less distinctness of the axis and
branches, and in the character of the terminal segments. In the
abundant material we found in Bermuda, there were individuals with
the primary axis narrower and firmer than the lateral segments, and
others, apparently mostly younger individuals, in which all was
uniformly membranaceous. Typical D. dentata has segments ending
in acute, spinous tips; typical D. Mertensii has segments’ short-
cuneate, with truncate or emarginate tips. It is not uncommon to
find both these types on the same individual. In comparing the
vegetative structure of D. dentata with that of D. dichotoma, as de-
scribed by Reinke, 1878, several points are to be noted. The main
axis is thick, and somewhat flattened, but can hardly be described as
a ‘“‘rundtrieb.” In old plants, there grow from this, for a distance of

three or four cm. from the base, descending, terete, branching fila-
ments, of an average diam. of one half mm., forming a loose felt. A
cross section shows a densely cellular structure, the cells much smaller
than in the median layer of the frond, the superficial cells much like
those of the frond. From the superficial cells issue, not continuously
but in groups, monosiphonous filaments, 20-25 uw diam., the cells 2-4
diam. long, nodes somewhat constricted; these filaments are mostly
simple, occasionally with short branches; when a filament reaches the
substratum the terminal cell forms a coralloid expansion as an organ
of attachment. Other species of Dictyota, D. ciliata for instance, are
attached by rhizoidal filaments of a similar character, but arising
directly from the frond; D. dentata is the only Bermuda species in
which they arise from descending cellular branches. In older plants
prolifications are common from the surface of the frond, sometimes
papillose to clavate, sometimes flattened with rounded outline.
None were observed over 1 mm. in length; the papillose-clavate
form seemed to be of a similar character to the descending filaments
developed near the base. Antheridia were common in material col-
lected in Jan., July and Aug.; no other fruit was observed.

the branching approaches lateral rather then dichotomous; the cells
are 10-15 w diam., spherical or slightly compressed or elongate; they
are smallest at the base of the filament, largest near the apex, while
the filament is largest at the base, up to 25 yw, tapering slightly towards
the apex. Lateral division of cells by an oblique wall is not uncom-
mon. It is quite distinct from the duplication by displacement
described by Rosenvinge, 1909, p. 75, and seems to be a normal process.

ACROCHAETIUM Nigeli.

A conservative course has been followed by us in regard to the
plants belonging to this genus. No such richness of new forms has
been found here as by Bérgesen in the Danish West Indies, but we
cannot claim to have made as thorough a study as he has, and it is
very unlikely that all the Bermuda forms have been discovered and
listed. We include under Acrochaetium the marine species formerly
passing under Chantransia, many of which have recently been juggled
back and forth, only too often.

The basal cell (original spore) remains distinct, attached to the host
by a circular disk, of diameter larger than that of the cell. This
development is of the same character as that in Chantransia collopoda
Rosenvinge, 1909, p. 81, but on a smaller scale; it is found also in
another Bermuda species, A. crassipes.

Spanish Point, March, Buildings Bay, April, Hervey; Shelly Bay,
May, Collins. In Europe and California this species occurs on Hel-
minthocladia calvadosii; although the latter is common in Bermuda,
the Acrochaetium has not been observed on it, but seems to occur
generally on the Dudresnaya. Its filaments have some resemblance
to those of the host, and the resemblance might puzzle one unfamiliar
with both. But usually antheridia or cystocarps can be found.

4. A. BARBADENSE (Vickers) Bérgesen, 1915, p. 45; Chantransia
barbadensis, Vickers, 1905, p. 60. On Liagora elongata, Buildings Bay,
March, Hervey. This plant resembles A. corymbiferum, but is kept
distinct by Bornet, 1904, p. XX, as well as by Miss Vickers, the dis-
tinctive characters being the stouter and shorter cells, and the less
developed basal portion. We have compared our plant with an
authentic specimen from Miss Vickers, also on Lragora elongata, and
find them to agree, except that while in the Bermuda plant most of
the filaments are composed of cells agreeing in dimensions with Miss
Vickers plant and description, in others the dimensions approach
those of A. corymbiferum. It is possible that future observations
may show that the difference is not specific.

Gravelly Bay, Aug., Collins; On Dictyopterts Justii, Buildings Bay,
July, Hervey. The Buildings Bay plant almost entirely covers the
Dictyopteris with a dense coating, the individual plants up to 5 mm.
high, main filaments about 12 4 diam., branches seldom under 7 ux.
These dimensions are greater than those given by Bornet in his
description, but as all other characters agree, it must be considered a
luxuriant form of this species. Monospores, 18-22 8-10 u were
observed, on unicellular pedicels in a series on the inner side of a
branch near the base. On other individuals were observed tetraspores,
not before known for the species. They were arranged similarly to the
monospores, but were larger and relatively broader, 28-34 X 17-27 u.
The division is in the form indicated by Rosenvinge, 1909, p. 85, as
characteristic of the genus, cruciate with the first division horizontal;

sometimes the division proceeds no farther, but usually a vertical
division occurs in one of the halves, often in both, but in the latter
case the divisions of the two are seldom in the same plane.

Sound, April, Collins, growing on Tamarisk branches which had bent
down until submerged. As in A. Sagraeanum the erect filaments
arise from a plexus of irregular horizontal filaments, but in A. Nema-
lionis the latter emit descending filaments which penetrate the host.
In the Bermuda plant these are less developed than in the European
plant growing on Nemalion, probably on account of the more resisting
character of the substratum of Tamarisk, as compared with Nemalion.

calcareous coating and firm, little gelatinous consistency. It occurs
in its best condition just below low water mark, but may extend up
nearly to high water mark. In many places it forms a continuous
zone between tide marks, the individual plants short and stunted,
mostly chalky white. When growing in more favorable conditions
a pinkish shade shows through the coating more or less.

recognized easily by the light purple-brown color, the light and loose
calcification, and the long, rather distantly dichotomous fronds, of
nearly uniform diameter. L. corymbosa, according to J. G. Agardh,
1896, p. 104, “ Hab. ad littora Floridae et insulas Bermudas.”’ Speci-
mens agreeing fairly well with Agardh’s description were collected at
Castle Harbor by Wadsworth, March, 1890; at Tobacco Bay, March
11, 1914, Hervey; but it is impossible to separate them from L.
elongata. As to characters derived from internal structure used by
Agardh in his treatment of the genus, |. c., we have not been able to
apply them, as we find them inconstant. He divides Liagora into
two subgenera, Euliagora and Goralia, the former with an inner layer

100 COLLINS AND HERVEY.

of longitudinal filaments, subdistant, large and small intermixed, the
outer usually small, the fascicles of the cortical layer free from each
other except as united by the general gelatinous coating. In Goralia
the larger filaments of the inner layer are densely packed, the smaller
being on the surface only, the fascicles of the cortical layer adherent
and confluent. L. pulverulenta is placed in EFuliagora, L. valida in
Goralia; but in both species as they occur in Bermuda we have found
large central filaments branching and producing smaller filaments,
with no definite position in the central strand; generally the cortical
fascicles are borne on the smaller filaments of the central strand,
but not infrequently on the larger ones. The density of the cortical
fascicles and their mutual adhesion or freedom seem to depend largely
on age or activity of growth; they often vary much in the same in-
dividual.

a shapeless jelly when taken from the water, but not difficult to ar-
range in natural form on paper if dried without pressure or with very
slight pressure.

suddenly to an acute point. Central strand about 150 u diam., of
closely packed filaments, cells about 204 diam., 4-8 diam. long;
fascicles of assimilative filaments 600-800 uw long, dense, even-topped,
making a continuous smooth surface to the frond; filaments many
‘times dichotomous, lower cells 5—7 uw diam., 5-8 diam. long, subcylin-
drical; upper cells shorter, stouter, more ovoid; end cells 8-10 u
diam., 2-3 diam. long, occasionally with a short hair, about 4 u diam.
Fructification unknown. Cooper’s Island, April, Hervey.

The peripheral filaments do not arise directly from the cells of the
central strand; at the summit of one of these cells a short conical or
ovoid cell is formed, from which radiate the basal filaments of several
peripheral fascicles; these filaments are usually straight and un-
branched for 200-400 yu, then dichotomous. The substance is softer
than in L. valida, not as soft as in L. pulverulenta. The reference to
the genus Liagora is from the structural characters; we have found
no fruit. As is well known, the amount of calcification varies much in
the different species, but there is only one species recorded practically
free from lime, L. dubia (Bory) Bornet in De Toni, 1905, p. 1628;
Cladostephus dubius Bory, 1832, p. 331, Pl. XXXVIIbis, fig. 6.

but it seems to be quite distinct from the present species. —

we do not venture to give names. Kjellman, 1900, gives full deserip-
tions of many species founded by him on material in Scandinavian
herbaria, but without descriptions of older species, and with little
indication of the distinguishing characteristics between the latter and
his new species. Howe, 1917, shows that in one case what Kjellman
considers as two sections of the genus are really sexual and asexual
forms of the same species. Beside the five species listed below, we
can only say that we have also forms resembling G. fasciculata Kjellm.,
G. ramulosa Kjellm., and G. fruticulosa Kjellm. Moseley reports
G. rugosa and G. lapidescens, from both of which species, as formerly
understood, Kjellman segregated new species. Rein reports G. fas-

common on pebbles, shells and flat rock bottom in shallow quiet
water all about the islands, forming a dense mat, usually not over
one cm. in thickness, the creeping basal part and the lower part of
the upright growth terete, the upper part flat. As we understand
this species, it includes G. pulvinatum (Kiitz.) Thuret, and G. repens
Kiitz. Forms corresponding to Kiitzing’s plates of both of these, as
well as to typical G. pusillum, are found in Bermuda material, with
all intermediate forms.

Var. concHIcOLA Piccone & Grunow in Piccone, 1884, p. 316,
P. B.-A., No. 2183, is a reduced form, common on small shells in
shallow water; the upright fronds seldom reach 5 mm. high; they
are mostly flat for their entire length, and only sparingly branched.
But the same form occurs also on stones, and every intermediate can
be found up to plants with erect fronds, 2 em. high. Forms which
we refer to G. pusillum occasionally occur in which the terete stipe
expands into a flat frond, up to 5 cm. long and 3-5 mm. wide. This
is very different in appearance from the usual form, but it intergrades
so that it and var. conchicola must be regarded as extreme forms of a
very variable species.

fication ete. It often forms dense mats, attached to the substratum
by frequent rhizoids; at other times only the bases of the filaments
are attached, the upper part forming loose tufts. Cystocarps and
antheridia are unknown, tetraspores seldom occur, but were found in
plants collected at Smith’s Bay, Nov., Hervey. Short much branched
forms might be mistaken for Gelidium, but on sectioning, the absence
of the fine descending rhizoidal filaments of the internal layer is a
sufficient distinction. Gelidiopsis gracilis Vickers, Algues de la
Barbade, No. 126, seems to be this species; we have compared her
specimen with an authentic specimen of W. setacea from the Harvey
herbarium, and both with Bermuda material, and can find no differ-

Carolina, specimens from Beaufort, N. C., reaching a length of 4 dm.
It is usually very rough with short, stiff proliferations on the surface
and margin, but occasionally it occurs quite smooth, when it is not so
easily recognized. The difference is not one of maturity, as large
smooth plants are found as often as small ones.

The living plant is of a dull red, and if prepared without exposure to

sun or air, the color darkens, sometimes becoming nearly black. But
if the plant has grown where it is exposed to the full sunshine or if it
has been exposed long to the air, the red becomes lighter and clearer,
and later takes on a yellow shade. Exposure to the air for several
days, if not in full sunshine, gives handsome color without disinte-
grating or decomposing the plant, if quite fresh when collected. It
occurs in all sizes from 5 to 50 em. high, and varies much in diameter
of frond, frequency and regularity of branches, and especially as to the
frequency, position and form of the conical or spinous ramuli. In
the typical form these ramuli are arranged in whorls, distinctly
separated, but forms occur, especially in old and large individuals,
in which this whorled arrangement is hardly perceptible. The same
differences occur in this species as found on the Florida coast, where it
is common. At some stations in Bermuda a form occurs which we
have not seen elsewhere; the frond is not over 10 cm. high, is relatively
slender, but is so densely and so repeatedly branched that no trace of
regularity is seen. This form was collected by Wadsworth in 1890,
and has been found by us each year we have collected here. The
American plant was described by Agardh, 1822, p. 271, as Sphaero-
coccus isiformis; J. G. Agardh, 1847, p. 16, proposed the new genus
Eucheuma, including this and other species of Sphaerococcus, and the
name has been continued since that time. Comparing the original
description of Sphaerococcus isiformis with the species following, S.
spinosus, the only distinctions of importance are, first that the former
is described as “cartilagineo-gelatinosa” the latter as “ gelatinoso-
cartilaginea’’; second, the former “ papillulis ramorum verticillatis,”’
the latter “papillulis solitariis, vel binis ternisve.’”’ The question of
the distinctness of the two species was raised by Sonder, 1871, p. 60;
under EF. spinosum he notes that he found it with long, naked branches,
also beset with papillae, either scattered or whorled. This alga is
sold as an article of food in eastern countries, and most of the speci-
mens that had then reached Europe were coarse forms obtained in
the markets. J. G. Agardh, 1876, p. 601, referring to Sonder’s criti-
cism, says “Quae potissimum conveniunt, E. spinosum atque E. isi-
forme, stadio fructifero omnino diversae obvenerunt.”” But we find
on E. isiforme fruit of the character attributed by him to EF. spinosum,
as well as that attributed to E. isiforme. Later, 1892, p. 12, in a
revision of the genus, he uses vegetative characters, giving as the
reason that the cystocarps were unknown to him on many of the
species. Under E. spinosum he says “Icon Turneri tab. 18 pro suo
tempore egregia.” EE. isiforme he considers as represented by Harvey’s

108 COLLINS AND HERVEY.

plate, 1853, Pl. XXIV, and the specimens distributed as Alg. Am.-Bor.
Exsice., No. 12. Turner’s plate of Fucus spinosus was drawn from
the specimen in the Linnean herbarium, and represents the type of
the species. It has papillae partly whorled, partly scattered; there
would be no trouble in matching it from Bermuda material, while
Harvey’s plate is quite typical of the ordinary, well developed plant.
We think we are justified in discontinuing the name E. isiforme.
But on referring to the original description of Fucus spinosus, Linnaeus,
1771, p. 313, we find that he gives as synonym “ F. denticulatus Burm.
prodr. 28’’.43 Referring to that page we find the description “Caule
compresso ramoso ramis dentato-geniculatis ramulosis subdicho-
tomis.”’ This, with the reference by Linnaeus, necessitates the new
binomial we have used.

We have examined specimens from the Cape of Good Hope, Singa-
pore and the Sunda Islands, quite indistinguishable from the American
plant.

appearance of G. ferox have been described, and it is by no means
easy toseparate them. There isa good deal of variety in the Bermuda
forms we have included under this name, but they seem to agree in
the terete but apparently distichously branched frond, with short
acute branches, subsecundly placed. We have found it quite com-
mon in warm shallow water, such as the lagoons near Grasmere and
Fairyland.

the latter species, from Jamaica, was erroneously distributed as G.
divaricata in P. B.-A., No. 789. The Ochtodes has an articulated fila-

short and subulate, near the ends of the branches. We have found
it once only, when it grew among G. ferox, but could be distinguished
from the latter by its appearance, even as seen from the boat.

line of demarcation between the three species mentioned. Fucus
Poitei Lamouroux, 1805, Pl. XXX, figs. 2-3, antedates F. Wrightii,
but now proves to be a Laurencia, and the next oldest name is Turner’s
which we adopt. It includes most of the coarse, fleshy or cartilagi-
nous Gracilarias of the warmer Atlantic; probably always terete when
alive, but often appearing compressed in herbarium material. It is
not common at Bermuda.

Shore, April, Hervey; tetraspores in May. This species varies con-
siderably in color and texture, from thin membranaceous and clear
red to subcartilaginous and brownish. In the former case the shape
and subdivision of the frond are indicated by the specific name;
in the latter the division is more irregular. The Bermuda plant as a
rule has a thinner frond and narrower segments than the Florida
material distributed as P. B.-A., No. 334. We were at first inclined
to identify this plant with G. Textorii (Suringar) Hariot, 1891, p. 223,
Sphaerococcus Textorii Suringar, 1870, p. 36, Pl. XXIII, and a speci-
men from Province Boshu, Japan, for which we are indebted to the
kindness of Dr. K. Yendo, has much resemblance to the Bermuda
plant. But the plant figured by Okamura, 1901, p. 65, Pl. XXIII,
and distributed in his Algae Japonicae Exsiccatae No. 13, differs
considerably, having a habit more like the common little divided forms
of Rhodymenia palmata. Our plant agrees with Crouan’s species,
as represented by an authentic specimen in the Museum d’Histoire
Naturelle, at Paris, and it has seemed to us better on the whole to
retain for the present Crouan’s name, under which the plant had
already been distributed in P. B.-A. J. G. Agardh, 1889, p. 25, refers
to G. dichotomo-flabellata as a possible synonym of Chrysymenia haly-
menioides Harvey, mentioning Chrysymenia dichotomo-flabellata Crouan
as perhaps the same; the latter has been distributed as P. B.-A., No.
385; it is probable that it is, as suggested by J. G. Agardh, a form of
Chrysymenia halymenioides, but the plant distributed as P. B.-A.,
Nos. 334 & 1931 is certainly a Gracilaria. The following short diag-
nosis, in connection with the material distributed as P. B.-A., Nos. 334,
1931, will probably give a sufficient idea of the species.

Algues de la Guadeloupe, p. 218, without description. A disco parvo,
stipite brevi subtereti vel compresso, mox in frondem planam regulari-
ter dichotomam abeunte, segmentis linearibus 5 mm. ad 2 cm. latis,
apicibus obtusis vel truncatis; axillis latis, rotundatis; substantia
membranacea, juniore tenuiore, adultiore crassiore et firmiore; colore
laete- vel fusco-rubro; tetrasporangiis sparsis; cystocarplis magnis,
ad superficiem utrinque sparsis.

8. G. horizontalis sp. nov. Fronde a disco centrali irregulari
horizontaliter expansa, ramis quoquoversum exeuntibus, subteretis,
crassis, ramos ferentibus densissimos, minime attenuatos; cellulis
interioribus magnis, corticem versus minoribus, cortice submonostro-
matico, cellularum minutarum coloratarum. Fructificatione ignota.

Frond expanding horizontally from a central irregular disk, emit-
ting on all sides very densely set branches, tapering very little; inte-
rior cells large, becoming smaller towards the submonostromatic
cortex, which is formed of small colored cells. Fructification unknown.

The habit is unique in the genus; the plant seems to creep over the
bottom of the pool in which it grows, much in the same way as do the
haptera of a Laminaria; the tips of the branches, or short projec-
tions on the margins or lower surface, adhering to the substratum quite
firmly. If a young but vigorous frond of Laminaria were cut off at
the base of the stipe, just at the level of the upper haptera, the remain-
ing basal part would give a good idea of the appearance of this species.
Plants growing together are almost inextricably entangled, and even
when a plant is not in contact with others, it is difficult to detach it.
The substance is tough and cartilaginous, the color of the more or
less wrinkled surface is dull yellowish brown, but the lower part, not
exposed to the light, is of the clear purplish red found in other species
of Gracilaria. It was found in rock pools at low water mark at
Gravelly Bay, Aug. 27, 1913, Collins. Type in Collins herb., No.
7818. Since found at the same station in Feb. and April, at Harris
Bay, April, Hervey.

112 COLLINS AND HERVEY.

1. H. muscrrormis (Wulf.) Lamouroux, 1813, p. 43; Hauck,
1885, p. 188, fig. 81; P. B.-A., No. 2185; Fucus musciformis Wulfen
in Jacquin, 1789, p. 154, Pl. XIV, fig. 3. Rein; Kemp; Miss
Peniston;, Dingle Bay, Bailey’s Bay, Jan., St. David’s Island, Feb.,
Grasmere, March, Buildings Bay, Heron Bay, April, Hervey;
Hungry Bay, April, Cooper’s Island, Aug., Collins. Generally dis-
tributed; the well developed plants with long, virgate branches,
beset with short ramuli, and with tips hooked, are not to be mis-
taken for anything else, but young and stunted forms are hard to
distinguish from other species of the genus.

Wulfen’s type was from Trieste, where he found the plant growing
on crabs for sale in the fish market. His plate is excellent, and shows
a slender form with filiform ramuli, often with constricted bases. We
have seen similar plants from the Mediterranean and the Adriatic,
and on the American shore from Cape Cod to Florida and the West
Indies. A form different in appearance has been distributed by
Bornet, collected at Biarritz; it is stouter, the ramuli shorter and
more patent, and mostly with distinctly wider base, in dried specimens
often like rose thorns; hooked tips are very rare in this form, common
in the other. This form we have seen from various parts of the At-
lantic coast of France, and on the American coast from Beaufort,
N. C., to Florida and the West Indies. ‘The two extreme forms are
distinct in appearance, though less characteristic forms can be found.
Sterile plants can be found in both, but as far as we have observed,
cystocarpic plants usually have all the ramuli of the thorn-like type,
always some ramuli of this form; while tetrasporic plants have the
filiform ramuli with base ultimately constricted. The appearance
of the two types is so different that in Agardh’s treatment of the genus,
1851, p. 441, the former would come under Sect. I, Virgatae, “ ramulis
adultioribus basi constrictis,” the other, p. 446, Sect. Spinuligerae,
“ramulis subulatis, a basi latiore acuminatis.”” Both forms occur in
Bermuda.

2. H. cervicornis J. G. Agardh, 1851, p. 451; 1876, p. 564. Miss
Peniston; Old Ferry, April, Hervey. This lacks the hooked apices
of H. musciformis, and is a more slender and more densely branched
plant; but the line between the two species is by no means clear.

3. H. sprnetyua (Ag.) J. G. Agardh, 1847, p. 14; Sphaerococcus
spinellus Agardh, 1822, p. 323. Cave by Gravelly Bay, Apr., Hervey.
Forming a dense, inextricable mat on rocks, usually 1-2 em. thick.

There is probably no genus of red algae of this region the species of
which are so poorly defined, and the plants so little characteristic, as

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. 113

Hypnea. Well developed plants of H. musciformis are easily recog-
nized, but practically everything else is vague and doubtful, and our
determinations of other species are only tentative. In regard to the
smaller forms, it seems as if no two authors used the same name for
the same plant, and even the best authors are often inconsistent with
themselves. For instance, J. G. Agardh, 1876, p. 564, under H. cervi-
cornis, refers to H. spinella Kiitzing, 1868, Pl. XX VI, as a synonym;
under H. spinella (Ag.) J. Ag., on the next page, he refers to the same
plate. We have collections of Hypnea from several stations to which
we do not feel willing to give specific names. H. cornuta reported by
Moseley proves to be Chondria polyrhiza Collins & Hervey.

to the margin. Compared with the very narrow form from brackish
water at West Point, New York, the distinctness of species seems jus-
tified, but intermediate forms occur, some from Florida having as wide
segments as the Bermuda plant, but with polygonal or rhomboidal
cells in indistinct series. The variation can hardly be due to climate,
as a specimen of Miss Vickers, Algues de la Barbade, No. 144, has
fronds as narrow as in the plant of Long Island Sound and Hudson
River.

adhering to the rock and to each other by numerous holdfasts. The
surface of the mass sometimes has an iridescence of remarkable
brillianey, chiefly in metallic blues and greens. The iridescence is on
the upper surface only, and persists for a short time after the plant is
taken from the water.

cervicornis has a frond of rounded outline, branching subdichotomous,
distant below, increasingly close upward; all branches, long or short,
are of about the same diameter, about that of the main axis of a
frond of L. obtusa, medium size. Proliferous ramuli, very short,
may be abundant or nearly or quite wanting. It is found in rather
sheltered stations, the color a somewhat deep and translucent red
in the living plant, growing darker in the mounted specimen. It
usually adheres fairly well to paper.

586. A very common and variable species, occurring nearly every-
where in quiet water, and often in somewhat exposed places, and
dredged to a depth of 18 m. The genus Laurencia is very puzzling;
though typical forms can be found of all the species, intermediate
forms are equally common, and it is very difficult to draw any sharp
lines. Of what may be considered the typical form of L. obtusa there
are two varieties, differing sharply in color, but not otherwise; one is
reddish or yellowish brown, lighter where exposed to sunshine, darker
below; the other a light, glaucous blue-green. They grow in similar
stations; often, as in the lower part of Harrington Sound, both are
found together, but as separate individuals or tufts; we have seen no
intermediate forms under these conditions.1® Beside the typical form,
two varieties may be noted.

case are they quite typical L. setacea, that it seems best to consider
them merely forms of the common and variable L. obtusa. A specimen
in the Farlow herbarium, collected by G. Tucker, No. 10, is near
L. implicata J. G. Agardh, 1852, p. 745, and a similar form was found
on the outer reef, Ely’s Harbor, July, Collins, and this also we have
considered as a local form of L. obtusa. This form is found rather
commonly when dredging.

Collins herbarium, No. 7509, Heron Bay, April 19, 1913, Hervey;
also at St. David’s Island, Feb., near Wistowe, Dec., Hervey.

This plant belongs to the subgenus Coelochondria Falkenberg, but
is distinct from all but one of the species of the subgenus by the peculiar
transformation of the upper ends of the pericentral cells, which show
even under a slight magnification as curved lines, two or three showing
in the width of the branch. This same character is found in C.
succulenta (J. Ag.) Falkenberg, 1901, Pl. XXII, figs. 22-23, an Aus-
tralian species, but that is a large and fleshy plant. In some speci-
mens of C. curvilineata this character is less conspicuous than in others,
but it is always quite distinct at the base of a branch, where the
— cortication is thin.

pointed, the base sharply distinct from the lower sterile part of the
ramulus, which is usually about half the diam. of the fertile part;
segments of pericentral cells showing indistinctly through the corti-
cation in the youngest portions only; dense fascicles of short, unicel-
lular rhizoids issuing from all portions of the plant; color pale red;
substance rather firm. Type in Collins herbarium, No. 8007, Shelly
Bay, Jan. 10, 1913, Hervey; also at North Shore near Wistowe,
Jan., Feb., Hervey; dredged in 18 meters, Dec., Collins.

The cylindrical fronds and the absence of apical pits place this
plant in the subgenus Euchondria Falk.; the abundant rhizoids are
of the same type as in the genus Herpochondria, but there is neither
the dorsiventral structure nor the lateral adherence of the latter.
The rhizoids may occur in short cylindrical fascicles, or may form a
dense mass along the frond for a distance equal to several diameters;
they may occur on branches of any order, even on the stichidia with
mature tetraspores.

reaching a height of 15 em. The substance is soft, the color deep
purplish red. It decays promptly when taken from the water, and
then thoroughly justifies its specific name.

J. Ag. Rein, as P. nigrescens in part; Moseley, as P. subtilissima;
Spanish Point, Harrington Sound, Jan., Gravelly Bay, Feb., April,
Tucker’s Town, Feb., Dec., Hervey. A rather common and generally
distributed species. Harvey’s figure represents the plant quite ac-
curately, except as to the quadrangular section of the filaments,
which was probably due to the use of dried material; the Bermuda
material shows the usual circular section. Rhizoids are well devel-

oped on the lower, prostrate part, arising each from a pericentral cell,

often one from each segment. Where the creeping filament is near
to a firm substratum, the rhizoids are short and stout; where there is
no such stratum near, the rhizoids may be much elongated, up to
3 mm. long, becoming very slender. In the actively growing tips,
the segments may have a length of only one fifth their diameter;
in older parts the segments may be slightly longer than their diameter;
the usual length is about one half a diam. Leaves are abundant,
branches being produced from their axils.

At Heron Bay we found a plant agreeing quite closely with P. fracta
Harvey, 1853, p. 38, and with an authentic specimen in the Farlow
herbarium; it seems to us, however, to be only an old and battered
form of P. ferulacea. Authentic specimens of the latter, in the Farlow
herbarium, confirm this view.

tubed Polysiphonias that we have found in Bermuda. Some speci-
mens agree well with the European form, others, specially those from
Fairyland, considerably resemble P. simulans Harvey, but we have
not been able to draw any line between these and the more typical
forms. Tetraspores were found in April. Branches arise in the axils
of the leaves.

appearance the two species are quite different, the stout spinous
branches of the latter are quite visible to the naked eye, and set all
over the plant; in W. Tumanowiczi they are hardly visible without a
lens. Technically, it is hard to find distinguishing characters; tetra-
spores and cystocarps are quite alike, and as suggested by Falkenberg,
1901, p. 559, they are certainly closely related.

sessile or lateral on very short pedicels, about 250 diam.; tetra-
sporangia about 80y diam., 2—5 in a straight series, in somewhat
swollen, often curved ramuli. Rhizoids filiform, varying in size but
usually slender, attached to the substratum by a terminal disk. Type
in Collins herbarium. Gravelly Bay, Feb., Hervey, Fairyland, Cave
at Agar’s Island, Aug., and dredged in 6 m., Collins. A rather delicate
plant, usually on Sargassum or Zonaria, but also on limpet shells.
The variation in number of pericentral cells is something exceptional
in a plant of normally four. The increased number does not seem to
be limited to any part of the plant, but may occur in horizontal or
erect filaments, younger or older. It has some resemblance to L.
subadunca (Kiitz.) Falk., but that has uniformly six pericentral cells.

from the segments next below. Antheridia developed from leaves,
conical-ovoid. Color rosy red; substance soft.

From the few 4-tubed species of Lophosiphonia this is distinguished
by branching characters, but specially by the great development of
the rhizoids, which show a remarkable adaptation to its habitat, the
fronds of Codium. The rhizoids take the shape of utricles, of much the
same shape and size as those of the host, but in reversed position. At
first a relatively slender cell, cyclindrical, or occasionally flattened in
a line with the axis of the filament, as soon as the rhizoid has pene-
trated between the stouter parts of the Codium utricles it expands,
and wedges itself in tightly among the latter. As seen under the
microscope, there is a striking contrast between the rosy color of one
set of utricles, and the green of the other. Type in Collins herbarium,

branching, but is not likely to be mistaken for any other species.

Catenella; it is exceptional to find any one species pure, while the

of which there seems to have been no record, were found in material
from the cave at Gravelly Bay, and are also in material distributed
by Farlow, in Alg. Am.-Bor. Exsice. A stichidium is formed in the
limited branch of a main axis, usually occupying only a small part of
its length, in the majority of cases below the middle, the unchanged
branch extending both above and below the stichidium, bearing
both above and below ramuli of normal construction; this appears
to be an exception to the usual formation in this genus. B. sertularia
has been considered by some as a synonym of B. tenella, e. g., De Toni,
1903, p. 1162, but the two seem quite distinct. JB. tenella is a plant
of softer substance, with long monosiphonous ramuli, and long-
lanceolate or linear-lanceolate stichidia; B. sertularia is firmer, only
a few of the extreme segments of a ramulus being monosiphonous;
the branching is strictly distichous, and the stichidium occupies the
middle part of the otherwise unchanged ramulus of the penultimate
or ultimate order.

Prostrate filaments about 65 uw diam., cells 3-5 diam. long, attached

about 50 diam. at base, gradually diminishing to about 30 y in
ultimate divisions, cells 5-20 diam. long, cylindrical or somewhat
clavate, branch-bearing cells strongly clavate; branching usually
distant, apparently dichotomous, the axis and branch nearly equal in
size and diverging very slightly; tetrasporangia produced on a short
branch arising like a vegetative branch, or on two short branches
opposite on the axis; tetrasporic branches rarely simple, usually di- or
trichotomously divided, the divisions each of a short, clavate cell;
tetraspores borne on the ultimate divisions, tripartite, 50-55 uw diam.,
globose or slightly elongate, with wide pellucid wall; antheridium on
the inner side of a branch, occupying the place of a vegetative branch,
ovoid-eylindrical, 125-150 & 50-604; cystocarp borne on a short,
clavate cell, taking the place of a vegetative branch. Type in Collins
herbarium, Smith’s Bay, Jan. 18, 1913, Hervey. Also at the same
place, Feb., March, Nov., Dec., Hervey.

The extremely long cells in this species, 20 diameters long being not
uncommon, distinguish it from other species of the genus. The erect
filaments are usually very sparingly branched, though in the upper
half there may sometimes be a branch from every cell; in other cases
the erect filament branches only two or three times in its whole length;
the branch is hardly distinguishable from the axis, either by size or
direction. The tetrasporangium may be terminal on a relatively
short cell, 2-3 diam. long, arising from the axis; or this cell may divide
one to several times, in the latter case twenty to thirty tetrasporangia
being borne at the apices of the divisions, forming a dense, corymb-
like cluster. The antheridia appear sessile, as they take the place of
normal branches on the inner side of a secondary axis, the unmodified
cells of which are shorter than the normal, though not as short as in
the tetrasporic clusters; occasionally both branches of a forking are
transformed into antheridia. Cystocarps are formed ih the same
position as antheridia, but the lower cell of the transformed branch
remains unchanged, Antheridia were plentiful in material collected
in January, tetraspores at all seasons; cystocarps were found in Jan-
uary material only, scarce and somewhat immature. The prostrate
filaments are affixed by numerous short, stout rhizoids with much
expanded terminal disks; occasionally a more slender rhizoid is pro-

duced by the lowest cell of an erect filament. The plant grew on
the top of sand-covered rocks, covered at high tide; the coral sand
sifted in among the alga, forming a dense fibrous mass.

CERAMOTHAMNION Richards.

C. Cop Richards, 1901, p. 264, Pl. XXI; P. B.-A., No. 1899;
Plate III, fig. 22; plate IV, fig. 23. Common on Codium tomentosum
and other species of Codium all about the islands, at all times of the
year, almost always in abundant fruit. It was once found on Lauren-
cia cervicornis. A few notes can be added to the quite full description
of Richards. He observed only a single ripe tetrasporangium at a
node; we have found not uncommonly two, rarely three, in one
instance four, of apparently equal age, side by side; branches ocea-
sionally occur independently of the polyspores; we have found organs
quite agreeing with his figures of the latter, but also similar organs,
larger, up to 160 yu diam., spherical, containing up to 45 spores, and in
appearance quite indistinguishable from cystocarps of Ceramium.\"
Against the identification of these organs as cystocarps must be
reckoned our failure to discover anything like procarps, and the
question must be left open. The rhizoids offer some interesting
peculiarities, doubtless due to adaptation to their position, between
the closely-packed utricles of the host; at first terete, they soon
become flattened, and often two or more unite laterally, in a mem-
branous expansion, which may be as much as 10 cells wide. In one
case three rhizoids from one individual united with two from another
to form one membrane. ‘The cross walls in these rhizoidal membranes”
are often much oblique, and the arrangement of the cells reminds one
somewhat of that in the leaf of a moss. See Figures 22 and 23.
The material from which this species was described was collected in
Bermuda in 1898 and 1899; the only other record of its occurrence
is at Barbados, Vickers, 1905, p. 65.

they were accompanied by tetraspores of normal character on the same
individual. This is not the case with this species.

Inlet, above and below Flatts Bridge, Jan., Feb., March, April, Dec.,
Heron Bay, Jan., Hervey. Common at these stations in late winter
and early spring; cystocarps, antheridia and tetraspores all produced
from January to March. The similarity between Griffithsia tenuis Ag.
and Callithamnion thyrsigera Thwaites has been noticed more than
once. Harvey, 1858, p. 130, kept up the distinction with some doubt.
Grunow, 1874, p. 8, considers the latter merely a robust form of the
former. Harvey had compared the plant from Beesley’s Point,
New Jersey, with an authentic Mediterranean specimen; we have
compared with a Beesley’s Point specimen of the original collecting
specimens from Atlantic City, N. J. (S. R. Morse), Nantucket (L.
L. Dame), Falmouth, Massachusetts (Collins), and G. thyrsigera,
Vickers, Algues de la Barbade, No. 182. All agree in essential details
with each other, and with the figures and text of Askenasy. The
Bermuda material seems to be more luxuriant, especially the tetra-
sporic; it is not uncommon to find 15 tetrasporangia in a whorl, five
whorls of tetrasporangia, mature or nearly mature, and two whorls of
immature, at once on an axis. Antheridia are borne on a pedicel of
one to three cells; Askenasy reports one-celled pedicels only. The
cystocarps were unknown until found on our Bermuda material; they
are characteristic of Griffithsia, and the generic position of the species
may now be regarded settled. Rhizoids were frequent on the older
plants, of the usual form, unicellular, longer or shorter as required to
reach the substratum, where an expanded disk was formed. They
have thicker walls than the filament cells, and contain nearly as deeply
colored chromatophores.

globose, or a little elongated or depressed.

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. 137

March, Gravelly Bay, Feb., March, April, Hervey. At Pink Beach
this plant grew buried in fine sand, on an exposed rock; at Gravelly
Bay in the cave with C. byssoidewm var. jamaicense, not as large nor
as well fruiting as at Pink Beach. At that station it bore tetraspores
along the upper edge of the ramuli, as figured by Harvey; antheridia
in rounded tufts at the same points; cystocarps large, spherical to
ovoid, on opposite sides of a branch; the three on separate individuals.
Paraspores were often found at the ends of the ramuli, ovoid, of
varying size, up to 50 & 35 uw including the rather thick wall. Tetra-
spores were occasionally found on the individuals producing the
paraspores, but no other organ of fructification. We saw no seriate
paraspores, such as are found in Seirospora Griffithsiana Harvy., but
sometimes two were side by side, touching each other, at the end of an
ordinary cell. Kylin, 1907, p. 152, figures and describes paraspores
of C. Hookeri, but of quite a different type; they take each the place
of a tetrasporangium, dividing to produce an indefinite number of
spores, “polyspores” of most authors. De Toni, 1903, p. 1317,
describes C. Hookeri with tetraspores and cystocarps, and vegetative
characters quite as above, and adds “Cautissime haec a Seirospora?
Gaillonii, quacum characteribus plurimis congruit, dignoscatur.”’
The latter species is described by him, p. 1352, by vegetative char-
acters and tetraspores only. There is practically no distinction as
regards these characters between the descriptions of the two species.
The final note under S. Gaillonii is “Seirosporae et cystocarpia (sec.
Crouan) presentia.””. De Toni includes under Seirospora, with or
without a ?, a number of species which do not seem to us to belong to
that genus, and without any statement of his reasons for so assigning
them; among them Callithamnion byssoideum, with var. jamaicense
and three other varieties.

GYMNOTHAMNION J. G. Agardh.

Plumaria Schmitz, not Stackhouse. The genus Plumaria was
founded by Stackhouse, 1809, p. 58, P. pectinata type, with synonym
Fucus plumosus Linnaeus. C. A. Agardh, apparently not knowing of
this publication, proposed, 1817, p. XIX, the genus Ptilota, founded

138 COLLINS AND HERVEY.

on the same Fucus plumosus L.; Agardh’s genus has been generally
accepted, and many recent species have been included in it.
Ruprecht, however, 1856, p. 335, calls attention to the priority of
Stackhouse’s name, and makes the combination Plumaria aspleni-
oides, and also uses the P. pectinata of Stackhouse. Otto Kunze,
1891, p. 911, takes the same position, and makes new combinations
for 16 species of Ptilota, some of which, however, are unnecessary,
as the species had already been properly transferred to Euptilota
Kiitz. Schmitz, 1889, p. 450, retains Ptilota for most of the
species, including Stackhouse’s type for Plumaria, but revivies
Plumaria for Ptilota elegans, Bonnemaison, a species unknown to
Stackhouse; and in 1896, p. 7, transfers to Plumaria, Ptilota Schous-
boet Bornet in Bornet & Thuret, 1876, p. 34, Callithamnion elegans
Schousboei in Agardh, 1828, p. 162. Under the international rules of
nomenclature, and probably under any rule, the name Plumaria
must be retained for Stackhouse’s type, P. plumosa and its congeners;
Ptilota founded on the same species, has no standing, and the only
name we find available for the species placed under Plumaria by
Schmitz is Gymnothamnion J. G. Agardh, 1892, p. 27, type Callitham-
nion elegans Schousboe. Accepting this in place of Plumaria Schmitz,
not Stackhouse, it will include Gymnothamnion elegans (Schousboe)

pellucida Harvey in Hooker & Harvey, 1853-1855, p. 257; Plumaria

The taxonomy is somewhat complicated; of the five species credited
to this genus, two were published in 1828, Ptilota elegans and Calli-
thamnion elegans; in 1876 Bornet transferred the latter to Ptilota,
but as the specific name elegans was preoccupied, changed it to P.
Schousboei. In 1896 Schmitz transferred both to Plumaria with
specific names unchanged, but in 1892 J. G. Agardh had used Calli-
thamnion elegans as the type of his new genus Gymnothamnion, hence

18 Fucus sericeus Gmelin, 1768, p. 149, Pl. XV, fig. 3, from Kamtschatka,
can hardly be a Gymnothamnion. See Ruprecht, 1856, p. 337.

THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. 139

in transferring to the latter the other species of Schmitz’s Plumaria,
a new specific name is needed for Ptilota elegans, and we have taken
Harvey’s name as the next in order.

Basal filaments about 20-25, diam., with opposite branching,
cells 4-5 diam. long, rarely 6-7, wall thick, nodes somewhat con-
stricted; erect axes of about the same size near the base as the pros-
trate filaments, diminishing to 12 uw at apex; cells about 3 diam. long
at base, near apex 1-1} diam., cylindrical or slightly clavate, each
bearing at the upper end a pair of opposite branches, forming an
angle of 50-60° with the axis, straight or slightly recurved, similar
to the axis, but averaging smaller, seldom over 154 diam.; these
branches either simple or more commonly bearing on the upper side,
on part or all of the cells, a second series of branches, 1—2 cells long,
rarely more, 8-10 diam.; outline of frond ovate or lanceolate;
terminal cells all rounded. Basal filaments producing, opposite to
the erect axes, rhizoids of one or many cells, the end cell forming a
disk of attachment when it reaches the substratum. The end of a
basal filament sometimes becoming erect and developing into a frond
similar to the erect axes; the erect axis sometimes extending beyond
the pinnation, and after an indefinite number of unbranched cells,
developing a second series of branches; or the prolonged naked axis
descending and forming a prostrate filament bearing erect axes and
rhizoids. ‘Tetrasporangia terminal on the branches of the first and

Growing on walls and roofs of caves, or in smaller cavities in rocks,
usually among other algae with a creeping base, such as Rhodochorton
and Spermothamnion. We have found this quite a puzzling form, as
there are three European species, in different genera, of similar size
and habit, and with tetraspores similarly placed. Two of these,
Ptilothamnion pluma Bornet in LeJolis, 1863, p. 118 and Plumaria
Schousboei (Bornet) Schmitz, 1896, p. 7, while differing in cystocarps
and antheridia, are almost identical otherwise, but a comparison of
the plates, Bornet & Thuret, 1876, p. 32, Pl. X, and Bornet & Thuret,
1880, p. 179, Pl. XLVI, shows that the Pluwmaria has shorter cells
throughout, and that the branches arise at the upper edge of the cells
of the axis, while in the Ptilothamnion they are distinctly lower.
The Bermuda plant agrees exactly with Plumaria Schousboei in form’
and proportions of cells, and place of insertion of branches; on that
account we have placed it in the genus Gymnothamnion, recognizing,
however, that when the sexual fruit is discovered, a different disposi-
tion may be necessary. The uniformly opposite character of the
branching is quite noticeable; even in the prostrate filaments any
other branching is rare and evidently abnormal, though in most
species with opposite branching in the erect parts, the basal part is
apt to vary from this. Moreover, every rhizoid that we have observed
is opposite to an erect axis. Bornet and Thuret, describing P. Schous-
boei, say “ils adherent par des crampons semblables a ceux des Spermo-
thamnion et des Polysiphonia”’; but an examination of Pl. X, fig. 1,
shows all the rhizoids opposite to erect axes, while this is not the case
in Spermothamnion flabellatum shown in Pl. VIII, fig. 1. We are led
to keep the Bermuda plant separate from P. Schousboei principally
from the fact that all well developed fronds bear erect branches of a
second order, in luxuriant individuals one such branch from every
cell of a branch of the first order, always on the upper side of the
latter. If these branches were in pairs, the distinction would be less
important, and might mean merely a repetition of the normal branch-
ing in luxuriant individuals, but we have never seen an outgrowth
from the under side of a branch of the first order. Curiously enough,
this mode of branching is identical with that of Antithamnion ptero-
ton (Schousb.) Bornet, 1892, p. 331, Pl. III, figs. 8-9, in regard to
which the author says, “Cette élégante petite Algue ressemble beau-
coup aux Callithamnion pliima et elegans mais elle est plus délicate,

d’une couleur plus rose. Elle s’en distingue surtout, parce que ses
pinnules, lorsqu’elles sont bien developpées, portent des pinnules de
second ordre sur leur bord superieur et que les tétraspores sont divisés
en croix.” The tetraspores in the Bermuda plant are distinctly
tripartite. As a secondary distinction we would note that a prostrate
axis can become erect and an erect axis prolong itself and either de-
velop a new branch system at some distance from the old, or be trans-
formed into a prostrate axis.

The type specimen of the species is No. 7521 in the Collins her-
barium; from the cave at Gravelly Bay, collected by Hervey in April,
1913.

Island, Aug., Collins; Dec., Hervey. The main axis is prostrate,
about 40 wu diam., the cells cylindrical, 2-5 diam. long; near the upper
end of each cell is a pair of opposite branches; whorled branches were
not seen. Successive pairs of branches are not in the same plane,
but are more or less exactly decussate. The lower cell of each branch
is short, no longer than broad, more or less rounded; the following
cells are 2-4 diam. long, growing shorter upward; the diam. at the
base of the branch, 20-25 u. The short basal cell often bears a long,
simple, rhizoidal branch, the cells up to 10 diam. long, about 15 u diam.,
of paler color than cells elsewhere in the plant; the terminal cell of
this rhizoid may form a discoid expansion, attaching itself to the
substratum. All normal branches, whether issuing from the upper
or the lower surface of the main filament, turn upwards; their branch-
ing is always alternate, a ramulus from each cell, all nearly or quite

19 This combination occurs in Collins, 1900, p. 48, attributed by error to
J. G. Agardh. No synonymy being given, it can hardly be considered a
publication. The difference from the typical A. cruciatum seems too great
to consider it as a form, as was done by Hauck.

in the same plane; these branches are of 2 or 3 orders, the ultimate
about 12,4 diam., the cells about 2 diam. long, nodes more or less
constricted; the end cell is distinctly acuminate or subulate. “ Dru-
senzellen”’ are abundant, borne usually on the inner side of the lower
cell of an ultimate branch, in the same way as a tetrasporangium; they
are spherical, about 20 » diam., or slightly elongate, 18 & 24 4, with
rather thin wall, strongly refringent, yellowish or pale aeruginous
contents. Occasionally the cells of a branch or of a system of branches
assume a spherical form, as if becoming seirospores, but the contents
do not seem to become darker or denser; the end cell rounds the lower
end, but remains pointed above. No fructification was observed.
The plant is very small, the axis seldom over 1 em. long, the branches
hardly 1 mm.; it is possible that this is not the variety radicans of
J. G. Agardh, of which we have not seen type specimens. Descrip-
tions as far as we know have been short and imperfect, which has led
us to describe the Bermuda plant in rather full detail.

showing a series of transversely elongate cells passing around the
central cell; the upper part of 2-3 series of irregularly placed roundish-
angular cells. Protoplast uniformly granular, or with slender, paral-
lel, longitudinal striations the whole length of the cell; the protoplast
cylindrical in the lower cells, subspherical in the upper. Cystocarp
borne at the end of a segment of 2-5 cells, which increase in size up-
ward, the upper cell being twice the diam. of the lower or even more;
on this are borne several wide-spread, few-celled involucral branches
with one or two cystocarps between them, the cystocarps appearing
terminal, but with usually an axis extended beyond them and the
involucre, of few cells, the basal cell 2-3 diam. long, the others, as all
the cells in the involucre, hardly 1 diam. long. Tetrasporangia tri-
partite, up to 60 u diam. not including the wall 8 uw thick; one, occa-
sionally two at a node, in longitudinal series, nearly free from the
cortication.

On Galaxaura, Spanish Rock, April 10, 1914, Hervey, type in
Collins herbarium, No. 8107. Also occurring on Zonaria variegata,
Harrington Sound, May, on Padina variegata, Agar’s Island, Nov.,
on Thalassia, Fairyland, Dec., Collins; on Ascothamnion, Tucker’s
Town, July, Howe.

The peculiar form of cortication, from which we have taken the
specific name, does not seem to occur in any other species. C. minia-
tum Suhr, resembling it in some respects, has distichous branching, and
small tetrasporangia sessile on both sides of the branches. Specially
characteristic of C. transversale are the serrate outlines near the apices,
due to the sharp limitation of the cortical growth there, and the tetra-
spores unusually large in proportion to the size of the frond. When two
tetrasporangia are formed at a node, they are set side by side, the line
made by the series of single sporangia passing between them. The

cystocarps appear as if terminal, as the short prolongation of the axis
is liable to be mistaken for an involucral branch. In younger parts
the cells of the basal layer are seldom over 2 diam. long; in older parts
these cells may be up to 8 diam.; the corticating band does not in-
crease in width, but is as narrow and sharply limited in the longest
cells as in the others.

plant is abundant practically everywhere, we give no detail of stations
of our own collecting. It is very variable, and many species have been
proposed in the past, only to be found unworkable; it may be that
some time a successful segregation will be made, but it can hardly
be done with habit characters, which are very inconstant. Tetra-
spores were found in Nov. & Dec., but no other fructification has been
observed by us. In the Kemp herbarium are specimens marked
respectively C. rubrum and C. fastigiatum, which belong to this species.
C. cryptacanthum reported by Moseley is a synonym.

This plant forms a plush on flat rocks a little above low water mark,
as does R. Rothii (Turton) Niig. in similar stations on the shores of the
North Atlantic, and its manner of branching resembles that of the
latter species but its dimensions are about double. We have ex-
amined many specimens of R. Rothii, from both coasts of North Amer-
ica as well as from Europe, and find very little variation in size among -
them. In R. speluncarum the chromatophores are numerous small
granules, usually densely packed, occasionally looser and showing
something like a network. Type in Collins herbarium, No. 8401,

Howe; Castle Harbor, A. E. Wight in Farlow herb.; Salt Kettle,
Feb., Buildings Bay, March, Spanish Point, March, Hervey; Shelly
Bay, April, Collins. The plants from Buildings Bay, Spanish Point
and Shelly Bay were washed ashore; at Salt Kettle, Paget, it grew just
below low water mark; at the type station in Castle Harbor it grew
at 3 m. depth at low water. It varies much in habit, from the form
with short, stout branches, figured by Howe, to forms with slender,
acute branches; from generally rounded outline to loosely pyramidal;
from forms so dense that when spread out on paper they cover it
continuously, without interstices between the branches, to quite
open specimens, all branches distinct. The largest plant noted was
about 25 cm. high and 15 cm. broad. Howe had only cystocarpic
plants when describing the species, but we have found antheridia
equally abundant, always on separate individuals. The antheridia
are formed near the ends of the peripheral filaments, which here bear
short, erect lateral branches, usually covered with minute densely
branched ramuli of a few cells each, the terminal cell becoming the
antheridium. According to the length of the axis and the amount of
branching in the ramulus, the antheridia may be cylindrical, conical
or ovoid. Sometimes the antheridia are so abundant on the peri-
pheral filaments as to form a dense continuous mass, through which it
is difficult to see the filaments, except the tips, which project beyond the
antheridia. Both antheridial and cystocarpic plants were distributed
as P. B.-A., No. 1900. Some forms are habitually not unlike D. caribaea
and D. bermudensis, but are easily distinguished microscopically by
the character of the peripheral filaments. It is often overgrown with
Acrochaetium corymbiferum, and when both have abundant antheridia,
it may be perplexing to one unfamiliar with the species.

siphonia caribaea J. G. Agardh, 1899, p. 84. Cooper’s Island, Feb.,
Farlow; washed ashore in abundance. This species and the pre-
ceding are very much alike in habit, and can be distinguished with
certainty only by microscopic examination of plants in fruit.

These three species of Dudresnaya illustrate the possibilities of algae
collecting. D. bermudensis is known only from Bermuda, from the
material collected by Farlow on a single day in 1881 at Cooper’s
Island, and from a single collecting at St. George’s in 1916 by Hervey;
the Bermudian material of D. caribaea was all collected on the same
day in 1881, and only one other station, Tortugas, Florida, is known;
Calosiphonia verticillifera was collected at the same day and place,
and is known elsewhere from the Tortugas station only. Material
of all three species was abundant that day, but there is no record of
any one of the species since, except the single collecting of D. bermuden-
sis, though we have both been on the watch for them for the past five
years, and have made visits to Cooper’s Island at the same time of
year as Farlow’s collecting and at other times, to search for them.
On the other hand we have found D. crassa, not known until 1905, in
abundance at distant stations.

Island, Feb., Farlow. As noted under Dudresnaya, this is one of the
three species of handsome red fleshy algae, found in abundance on the
same day in 1881, at Cooper’s Island, and not observed since. In
habit it is not unlike Dudresnaya, but is distinguished’ on microscopic
examination by the shorter and stouter peripheral branches, forming
a definite cortical layer.

collected in a narrow “chasm”’ in the rocky shore between Tucker’s
Town and Walsingham House, growing in company with Halymenia
bermudensis, but while the latter grew plentifully at low water mark,
the Platoma began about 5 dm. below, and seemed to extend down.
Farlow’s plants and ours from the cave at Gravelly Bay are smaller
and of firmer substance; the Castle Harbor plants larger and looser,
probably on account of being more developed.
