The distributions of five species of Phyllophora Greville (Order Gigartinales) were examined in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions. Less detailed distributional observations of Phyllophora were made in the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Distributional records, based on extant specimens from extensive personal field observations in the United Kingdom and eastern North America and from collections in various herbaria, are recorded in tables and on maps; these records are discussed.
