During a recent survey of marine red algae in Oregon, U. S. A., 6 of the 7 species of Ceramium reported from this state were collected in the intertidal zone. These included Ceramium californicum J. Agardh, C. cimbricum H. Petersen in Rosenvinge, C. codicola J. Agardh, C. gardneri Kylin, C. kondoi Yendo, and C. pacificum (Collins) Kylin. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of vegetative and reproductive development in C. californicum, C. codicola , and C. pacificum are presented for the first time in this paper. Descriptions are also given for C. cimbricum and C. kondoi , species previously only reported from elsewhere in the northwestern Pacific. These latter species were common on floating docks, sites where introduced species frequently occur. Ceramium eatonianum and C. washingtoniensis , the other 2 species known from Oregon, were found to belong to other genera or were not collected during this study.
