| Abstract: | Eugomontia sacculata, a shell-boring marine green alga, only once recorded in the literature, is reported for the first time from several shores in Britain and Canada. British material differs in culture from the original German material in that the sporangia do not produce exit-tubes and are occasionally liberated from the filament. |
