esent species appears to me to be one of such, for judgingby the structure of the frond, I should suspect that its positionwill be nearer to Kallymenia among the genera with compoundnuclei (favellidia). Sonder originally described it from very in-complete and discoloured specimens. It is one of the largestand strongest-growing of the Western Australian Bhodosperms,and would require a folio plate to do it adequate justice. Somespecimens are very much narrower and more densely branchedthan the one here figured. There is another Western Australian Alga (Nemastoma ? ge-linarioides, Harv.), found at King Georges Sound, which bearsa striking external resemblance to this plant; but its structureis difierent and much more dense. Its fruit also is unknown, andthe name given to it must therefore be considered provisional. Fig. 1. Gelinakia ulvoidea,—the natural size. 3. Section through the frond,—magnified. 3.
