Callophyllis variegate (Bory) Kuetz. (1843), Phyc. Gen., p. 400, t. 69. Tauranga, Davies; Paterson's Inlet, E. M. L. New Zealand, Aucklands. There are a large number of varieties, and it may be doubted whether all belong; to the same species. The type is from New-Guinea, v. Howe (1914), p. 119. New Guinea, Peru, Chili, Fuegia, Falklands, Kerguelen, South Orkneys, Graham's Land. Ectophora J. Ag. An endemic genus. I previously followed Schmitz in uniting this genus with Callophyllis (v. Lg., 1926, p. 152), but think now it should be kept separate. Ectophora depressa J. Ag. (1876), p. 690. Bay of Islands, Berggren, V. W. L. Endemic. Ectophora dichotoma J. Ag. (1876), p. 691. This should not be confused with Callophyllis dichotoma Kuetz. (1849), p. 746, which is a different plant from Campbell Is. The present species was described by J. Ag. from one specimen and some fragments (l.c.) which were sterile, and as it does not appear to have been collected since, it is an altogether doubtful species. Bay of Islands, Berggren. Dactylymenia J. Ag. An endemic genus. Dactylymenia berggreni J. Ag. (1899), p. 54; Kallymenia berggreni (J. Ag.), 1876, p. 221. A doubtfully distinct species, requiring further investigation. Perhaps the same as Kallymenia harveyana, Fl. N.Z., 2, p. 251. Bluff, Lyall's Bay, Bay of Islands, Berggren. Apparently not uncommon on the coasts. Endemic. Dactylymenia digitata J. Ag. (1899), p. 52. J. Ag. gives no locality further than New Zealand for this species. I have one or two specimens from Wellington Harbour that I have placed here, but they are possibly insufficiently separated from the following species. Dactylymenia laingii J. Ag. (1899), p. 54. Akatore, Black Head, Dunedin, Karaka Bay, Muritai, R. M. L Endemic.
