Abstract
IN October last, I found an old-established paddy-field near Tanabe, the bottom of which, to the extent of several tens of feet every way, was luxuriantly grown with the Pithophora Oedogonia, Wittrock, var. Vaucherioides, Wolle, with resting spores yet incompletely formed. The locality is some sixty miles south of Wakayama Shi, where I had gathered the same with full spores, October, 1901 (see NATURE, vol. lxvi, pp. 279, 296). The occurrences of the alga in such distant places seem to prove that it is indigenous to Japan. The Floridan specimens I collected in 1891–92 were with spcres mature in the months of June and July.
