The Fresh-water Algae of Maine.—IIL 
(Plate CXXVI.) 
By F. L. Harvey. 
Since the second article upon the Algz of Maine was written, 
we have occasionally examined gatherings in connection with 
laboratory work and below give the forms not before reported} 
also additional notes upon species before recorded. The most of 
the material came from Pushaw stream, near where it leaves 
the lake, and was attached to submerged sticks and stones. 
rich gathering was also taken from a spring in a low meadow 0 
the college farm. Accompanying this article is a plate illustrating 
some forms regarded as new, also other forms reported before as 
new and now figured. Other page and plate references are » 
Wolle’s Fresh-water Alga and Desmids of the U. S., the class- 
ification in those works being followed.. We are again indebted to 
Mr. Wolle for suggestions and assistance. Unless otherwise cred- 
ited the specimens were collected by the writer.
