Abstract
A CHIMÆRA of two kelps belonging respectively to Alaria and Laminaria was recently collected by one of us (M. I.) on May 18, from among a mass of seaweed which drifted ashore in the neighbourhood of the Marine Laboratory for Biological Education, Hokkaido Gakugei (Arts and Science) University, situated at Shirikishinai Village, Oshima Province, in Hokkaido. The frond of this chimsæra is formed by the complete lengthwise and lateral adhesion of two half-fronds each representing one of the two quite distinct genera of Laminariales.
