e havehere minute echinated papillae, which are never developed intofilaments, and merely serve to roughen the surface. Similarpapillae are found in other species, with which the presentnearly agrees in habit and structure. This is the largest and finest species of Thamnoclonium, andis inscribed to the memory of the late Dr. Charles Lemann,F.L.S., of London, a distinguished botanist and estimable man,to whom I am indebted for the first specimen received. It wasincluded in a parcel of Algae collected by Mr. Mylne, in WesternAustralia, and sent to me by Dr. Lemann. It seems to be ofvery rare occurrence, and has not as yet been sent by Mr.Clifton, in whose neighbourhood it is found. Fig. 1. Thamnoclonium Lemannianum,—the natural size. 2. Small portionof the surface, showing the spinous tubercles. 3. Section through thefrond. 4. Small portion of the same, to show the different cellular struc-ture in the medullary and cortical layers :—the latter figures variously mag^nified. LlaU CAT.
