LIST OF CALIFORNIA MARINE ALG, WITH NOTES. 
BY C. L. ANDERSON. 
A careful exploration of the California coasts would doubtless re- 
veal many novelties in the marine flora. This is especially true of 
our southern coasts. Hence the following list is not offered as com- 
plete, but rather as a means to arrive at a better classification and a 
fuller knowledge. 
A manual with illustrations, lists of localities and a more careful 
classification is comtemplated at an early day; and any further in- 
formation from botanists into whose hands this list may fall will be 
duly acknowledged and gratefully appreciated by the author. 
For aid in preparing this list I am mainly under obligations to W. 
G. Farlow, M. D., Professor of Cryptogamic Botany, in Harvard 
University, and Prof. D. C. Eaton, and W. A. Setchell, of Yale 
University,*to all of whom I have the pleasure of proffering my 
sincere thanks. 
I have also received grateful favors and assistance from botanists 
on our own coast, among whom I wish kindly to mention Mr. D. C. 
Cleveland of San Diego; Mrs. Elwood Cooper and the late Dr. 
Dimmock of Santa Barbara; Miss Lennebacker of Santa Cruz; 
Miss M. E. B. Norton and Mrs. A. E. Bush of San Jose State 
Normal School, and Miss M. J. Westfall of Pacific Grove. 
The following abbreviations are used throughout the list:
