r structural cha-racter. The differences between the structure of the conceptaclein CliCBtangia and Pterodadia are surely more generic thanordinal. Hennedya crispa is abundantly thrown up at Rottnest Island,after winter gales, and is then generally found well covered withfruit. The specimens with conceptacular fruit are much the com-monest. To the naked eye the plant strongly resembles a Thysa-nocladia, particularly T. coriacea; but the ramification is different,not to speak of fruit or structure. It is very apt to be infestedwith small Zoophytes and Molluscoid Coralhnes (Bryozod), andto the collector of these diversified and beautiful animalcule^its tufts will often afford a rich harvest. Fig. 1. A branch of Hennedya crispa,—the natural size. 2. Apex of a seg-ment, with conceptacles under the tips. 3. Section through the frond, andthrough a conceptacle. 4. Tuft of spores. 5. Section through a sorus;tetraspores from the same:—the latter figures more or less magnified. pz^fe. LJin.
