Abstract
IN a recent communication, Dr. A. A. Aleem1 has directed attention to a seldom recorded species of phycomycete, Eurychasma Dicksoni (Wright) Magnus, which was found near Plymouth parasitizing Ectocarpus granulosus Agardh. During the spring and summer months of 1945, 1946 and 1947, I observed this fungus on a number of occasions infesting E. granulosus that had colonized test panels suspended in the sea from a raft at Millport, Isle of Cumbrae. These panels were immersed at a constant depth of two feet in a fairly sheltered and fully marine environment.
