Anatomical organization of Stoechospermum marginatum reveals small cortical cells with moderately dense cytoplasm, overlying a multilayered medulla comparatively poor in cytoplasmic contents. The anticlinal walls of cortical cells show local thickenings rich in alginic acids. Sori form on both thallus surfaces and show tetrasporangia, paraphyses and sterile-cells. The unicellular paraphyses are rich in sulphated polysaccharides whereas multicellular ones have abundance of not only polysaccharides, but also of vacuoles and phenols. The sterile-cells are modified cortical cells present on either side of the tetrasporangium and bear cytoplasmic strands towards soral cavity. Various stages of tetrasporogenesis are seen in a single sorus. The developing tetrasporangium shows a two layered wall, where the outer one is rich in alginic acid and inner has sulphated polysaccharides. An apical pad aids tetraspore release. Also involved in the release process are sterile-cells, paraphyses and polysaccharides.

Porphyroglossum is the last one of nine genera within the family Gelidiaceae that has yet to be analyzed by molecular markers. We analyzed rbcL and cox1 genes from P. zollingeri specimens collected near the type locality in Indonesia and compared them with other gelidioid algae. Thalli are cartilaginous, complanate, and up to 15 cm high. Abundant rhizoidal filaments are concentrated in the medullary layer. Tetrasporangial sori are on small, determinate ramuli. In all gene analyses, P. zollingeri consistently nested within Gelidium. The sister relationship of P. zollingeri to G. floridanum was well resolved. Because Gelidium has priority over Porphyroglossum, a new combination is proposed, viz. Gelidium zollingeri. Network analysis of the four cox1 haplotypes revealed many missing haplotypes, indicating high genetic diversity in the species.

One new cellular slime mold, Dicivostelium valenstemmun sp. n. Shim et Chang, is isolated from the fermentation layer of soils in the cool temperate forests of Surak mountain, Korea. This species has the sori and sorophore yellow-pigmented, and sparse or irregular branches. And it is characterized by tall and robust sorocarps, well-form basal disks, mucoroides-type aggregations and large spores. This species has sorophores gradually tapering from bases to tips, simple capi- tate sorophore tips and conical bases. When prostrates on the plates, it has sparsely clavate bases. Spores are considerably large, 6.8~9.9 x 3.4~5.1 $\mu$m(avg. 8.5 x 4.1 $\mu$m), L /W index l.84~2.43(avg. 2.07) without polar granules. Key words: Diccyostelium valeustemmum, Cool temperate forests, Surak mountain.

The seasonal and altitudinal changes in distribtuion of three selected species of wild Drosophila populations ; D.(S.) auraria , D.(D,) transversa and D.(D.) lacertosa growing at Mt. Sori in Kwang-nung (Kyung-ki province, Korea) were surveyed from April to November in 1959. The field of observations ranged in altitude from 150 to 450 meters. Each of selected species were found in different altitudes with no significant level. D.(S.) auraria were found with numerically dominance in April and were found in June with less superiority. D.(D.) transversa showed their highest peak in numerically in May and after soon they decreased, in August they made the lower peak again. Author could drow in June the highest peak shown D.(D.) lacertosa's distribution and then the line was down to November smoothly.

According to the mode of development of antheridia and antheridial mother cells, the antheridium formation of Rhodymeniales is divided into two types. I. Separate Type; Antheridial mother cells are separate one another. Antheridia and the mother cell are surrounded by the common wall. The superficial gelatinous wall covering antheridial sori disappears during the antheridium formation. Spermatia are comparatively large. Halosaccion saccatum, H. firmum, Rhodymenia palmata and Rh. marginicrassa. II. Seriate Type; Antheridial mother cells, originated from the same epidermal cell, are seriate one another with a pit-connection. Antheridia and the mother cell do not have the common wall. The superficial gelatinous wall remains during the antheridium formation. Spermatia are comparatively small. Rhodymenia intricata, Rh. pertusa, Chrysymenia wrightii, Lomentaria hakodatensis, L. catenata, Binghamia californica and Champia parvula.

A new unrecorded species, Hypodematium squamuloso-pilosum Ching (Hypodematiaceae), previously known only in China, was newly found on the rocks of a limestone mountain in Yeongwol-gun, Gangwondo, Korea. This taxon is distinguished from H. glanduloso-pilosum (Tagawa) Ohwi, reported as a species of Hypodematium in Korea based on linear lanceolate scales on the rhizome and a stipe base, white long hairs throughout the leaves, rarely reddish brown curly linear scales on the stipe, and oblong-lanceolate basal pinna. This taxon was most similar to H. hirsutum based on the plant height, rhizome, scale shape and size, sori position, and indusium shape. A new Korean name, 'Huin-geum-teol-go-sa-ri', was given based on the long white hair throughout. Descriptions and illustrations of this taxon and a photograph of its habitat are provided from Korea.

The taxonomic criterion between Erythroglossum and Sorella was reappraised based on Korean plants of E. minimum Okamura and S. repens (Okamura) Hollenberg. Development of the reproductive organs was observed from field collected plants as well as cultured plants. The Polyneura-tuype procarp which comprised one group of sterile cells and two carpogonial branches arising from a supporting cell was observed in both species. Distribution of tetrasporangial sori was irregular in both species, so it is not relevant to distinguish Sorella from Erythroglossum by the characteristic of tetrasporangial distribution. E. minimum and S. repens were very similar in vegetative form, but were reproductively isolated. Chromosome numbers were given as n=ca. 30 in S. repens and n=ca. 41 in E. minimum, respectively.

Two species of the agar-yielding genus Gelidium, G. galapagense and G. isabelae, have previously been reported from Korea but their occurrence has not been confirmed with molecular data. We intensively collected samples of Gelidium from Jeju Island, where the two species were reported, and the southern coast of Korea. Phylogenetic analyses based on cox1 and rbcL sequences revealed that only a single species occurred in Korea. The Korean species was distantly related to G. galapagense and G. isabelae from the Galápagos Islands, and formed a clade with G. microdonticum, G. millarianum, and G. pakistanicum. A new species, G. palmatum, is described for those specimens that were previously recognized as either G. galapagense or G. isabelae from Korea. G. palmatum is small in size (up to 0.7 cm), with compressed, lanceolate axes, irregular, digitate to palmate branches, abundant rhizines in the medulla, tetrasporangial sori without sterile margins, and rounded bilocular cystocarps borne subapically on palmate branchlets.

The pitch searching is a vital process in a vocoder. Generally, the method of pitch searching is employed after highlighting the periodicity, where a correlation is identified with the signal by changing the interval of two pulses. When the correlation value reaches the peak, the pitch can be found by the pulse interval because it is the repetition interval with most striking period. However if the identified period happens to be one of half period, double period or triple period, this cannot be considered as the pitch period. Many methods were suggested to solve this problem. An inaccurate pitch could be obtained as well, when there is an interval where signal amplitude is not constant but varies abruptly in the frame. To solve this matter, searching the pitch by dividing a frame into various subframes is adopted, but too much calculation has to be followed while it leads the correct value. This paper suggests an algorithm to resolve these two problems. First, to search the pitch after advance correction of the signal energy level with an estimated overall energy change ratio in the frame before pitch search to reduce half period, double period and triple period is suggested. Second, to vary the number of subframes by predicting the amplitude change rate in the frame by the energy ratio obtained by the above-mentioned method is advised. If these two methods are applied, the pitch searching time can be reduced and the general pitch searching performance can be improved without affecting the sound quality in the synthesized signal.

During the study of the distribution of cellular slime molds in Halla mountain of Korea, a new yellow-pigmented Dictyostelium was isloated. This exibited several distinctive features which differed from the published species, and was designated as a new species, Dictyostelium jlavidum sp. n. Hong et Chang (Type strain HL-1). It was cultivated at $20-22^{\circ}C$ on weak nutrient agar media, 0.1 L-P in association with Escherichia coli. Sorocarps were 4-10 mm or more in length, conspicuously yellow throughout or with sori, typically solitary, unbranched or sparsely and irregularly branched. Sorophores were strongly tapered from bases to tips. Bases were typically well-formed disks in form or conically expanded. Sori were yellow to yellowish in color, and the pigmentation intensified with age. Spores were long and thin elliptical, mostly $4.8-9.6{\times}1.9-3.8\;(ave.\;7.3{\times}2.8)\;\mu\textrm{m}$, L/B index about 2.4-2.8, without polar granules.anules.
