Lund 14 Sept. 1884.
Hochgeehrter Herr Baron!
In der letzten Brief glaube ich Ihnen gemeldet zu haben dass das paket mit Algen von Rottnest noch nicht hier eingetroffen wäre. Erst vor etwa 8 Tagen ist es in meinen Händen, und ich sende Ihnen heute die Nahmen liste der enthalten Algen. Sie werden vielleicht schon bemerkt haben dass von vielen numeros keine Specimina sich vorfinden.
Auch erlaube ich mir heute die Nahmen liste der von Hrn Br. Wilson gesammelten und durch Ihre Gute beförderten Sammlung überzusenden. Wie gewöhnlich enthält diese Samlung viel interessantes, und auch einige neue Arten, so gar glaube ich 2 neue Gattungen, von denen doch die eine Glaphyrymenia in einer der fruher übergesandten [Nr 1] durch ein steriles exemplar vertreten war. Von der andern (sub No 49) liegen nur sterile Exemplare vor, und darum ist es mir sogar unmöglich über affinitet der neuen Gattung was zu sagen.
Weil Ich einige Bemerkungen über meine Bestimmungen zu machen wunschte, habe ich es gewagt heute an Hrn Wilson auch direct zu schreiben unter addr. Geelong; habe Ihm auch ein besonderes Exemplar der Nahmen liste mitgetheilt. Weil ich aber wegen der Addrese unsicher bin, habe ich mir erlaubt auch Ihnen ein Nahmen Verzeichnis zu übersenden.
Vor etwa 14 Tagen ist ein neues paket mit Algen für Sie an meinen Expediteur übergeliefert um über Hamburg Ihnen zugestellt zu werden. Es enthält eine möglichst compl. Samlung der New Zeeländer Algen so wie Exemplare derjenigen Neu Holländer, die Ich von Interesse für Sie vermuthen durfte.
Indem ich hoffe dass Ihre Gesundheits Zustand sich verbessert sende ich Ihnen meine beste Gr[üss]e und zeichnet ergebenst

Lund 14 September 1884
Highly esteemed Baron!
In the last letter1 I believe I reported to you that the packet of algae from Rottnest2 had not yet arrived here. Only about 8 days ago did it come into my hands, and today I am sending you the list of names of the algae received. You will perhaps already have noted that there are no specimens for many numbers.
Also I permit myself today to send the list of names of the collection put together by Mr Wilson and forwarded through your kindness. As usual this collection contains many interesting things and also some new species, I believe even two new genera, of which indeed one, Glaphyrymenia, was represented in one of the previously sent [number 1] by a sterile specimen. Of the others (under No. 49) only sterile specimens are available, and because of that it is quite impossible for me to say anything about the affinity of the new genus.
Because I wished to make some remarks about my determinations, today I have ventured also to write directly to Mr Wilson addressed to Geelong;3 I have also communicated to him a separate copy of the list of names. However, because I am uncertain of his address, I have also permitted myself to send you a name index.
About 14 days ago a new packet with algae for you was delivered to my forwarding agent to be delivered to you via Hamburg. It contains a collection as complete as possible of New Zealand algae as well as specimens of those of New Holland that I assume might be of interest to you.
Hoping that your health is improving, I send you my best greetings and sign most humbly
J. G. Agardh

Obs The Myriodesma pinnatifidum J. Ag. mscr.20 according to the new specimens seems only to be a form with serrated leaves of Myriod. integrifolium.
The plant supposed to be Spatoglossum australasicum Kuetz is perhaps rather a form of Dictyota nigricans J Ag.

William Webb; see M to J. Agardh, 15 February 1886.
Not in AlgaeBase (accessed 13 January 2020). Silva, Basson & Moe (1996), p. 261, state that 'Mastophora rostrata is a manuscript name applied by J. Agardh in his herbarium to two specimens from Wesern Australia'.
S. lanceolatum.
The form opuntia is not listed in Algaebase (accessed 13 January 2020).
Harvey in his distributed sets did not identify no. 571 to species level (Harvey (1857)).
cuvieri?
This list commences on a separate sheet of paper, annotated in pencil in the upper margin by M 'Specimens named'. The parcel with these algae was dispatched from Melbourne with the same mail steamer as M to J. Agardh, 10 June 1884.
See Harvey (1857).
In the list of Wilson's species in J. Agardh to M, November 1882 (in this edition as 82-11-00a), no. 65 is given as 'Dictyota pinnatifida?'.
Described in J. Agardh (1873-90), part 6, p. 88. See the bibliographical comment in n. 2, T. Ware to M, 12 June 1874 (in this edition as 74-06-12a).
Described in J. Agardh (1873-90), part 4, p. 100.
In the list of Wilson's species in J. Agardh to M, 23 August 1883 (in this edition as 83-08-00a), no. 84 is given as ' Delesseria sp. nov?'.
In Agardh’s list of Wilson's species in J. Agardh to M, 4 August 1883, no. 18 is given as Dasya villosa macroura, while in his list of Henry Watts's specimens, J. Agardh to M, 4 August 1883 (in this edition as 83-08-04a), no. 18 is given as 'unknown to me, perhaps new sp. of Nitophyllum'. Griffithsia, Daysa and Nitrophyllum are all in the same Order of red algae.
Hanowia in Algaebase (accessed 13 January, 2020) but spelled Hanovia in J. Agardh (1848-1901), vol. 2, p. 5 and index, although given as Hanowia where the genus is described, p. 109.
Described in J. Agardh (1873-90), part 4, p. 52, pl. 1, fig. 4. The specimen MEL 1005795 bears Wilson's collection number on the sheet.
In J. Agardh to M, 4 August 1883, Wilson's no. 86 is given as 'Gigartina sp. ad Gig. grandifidam vel G. circumcuitam var. (= Gigart. radulae forma [Harv.?]'.
Myriodesma pinnatifidum was not published; see also J. Agardh to M, 4 August 1883, and J. Agardh to M, 23 August 1883 (in this edition as 83-08-23a).
