Abstract
Pursuant to the idea that pedunculate brachiopods do not necessarily require a hard substratum for attachment, it is postulated that brachiopods may attach themselves to floating seaweed of the Sargassum type and as a result may be found in sediments out of keeping with their normal habitat. Occurrences of rhynchonelloids substantiating this theory are cited from the literature.
