✦ Synopsis
In the course of our continuing studies for constituents of the marine red alga genus Laurencia (Rhodomelaceae), we have recently reported (2) the structures of several halogenated and nonhalogenated aromatic sesquiterpenes from L. okamurai -Yamada ("mitsudesozo" in Japanese) collected at Nyudogatane, Okino-shima, Tosa Prov., Japan. We collected &. majuscula Harvey ("akasozo") in the same location and investigated its essential oil. There are two new halogenated chamigrenetype sesquiterpenes as the major components in this alga and we report below the structures of these compounds.
Half-dried algae (ca. 1.8 kg) (3) were extracted with methanol in the usual manner, and the neutral methanol extract (ca. 15 g) was fractionated by column chromatography on neutral alumina. Benzene eluates were rechromatographed over

## Abstract Together with five known sesquiterpenes, EtOH extraction of __Laurencia saitoi__ yielded four new compounds, including three sesquiterpenes and one norsesquiterpene derivative. Their structures and relative configurations were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including 1D‐ and 2D‐NM
