The Batrachospermum form having been found, both in the
Alabama material here distributed and in similar material from
Florida, developing from a Chantransia form identical with the
Nantucket material here distributed, the specific name given by
Wood to the Chantransia has been used for the Batrachosper-
mum, which appears to be a species hitherto undescribed.
