THE ALGAE OF BERMUDA. 9 



in a little bay that comes up in front of the Grasmere Hotel. Beyond 

 the hotel is a water called Mangrove Creek, lying between the hotel 

 and Spanish Point, where good collecting may be had. At the ex- 

 treme end of Spanish Point are two little bays, the larger of which is 

 called Stovel Bay; this furnished good specimens of Dudrcsnaya 

 crassa and Liagoras in the spring. It is well to make a careful search 

 all about Spanish Point as far east as the Admiralty House. Beyond 

 that as far as the Ducking Stool the shore is for the most part high 

 and precipitous, and we did not find much to reward the climb down 

 and up; but coming in a boat one finds a fairly rich flora, Liagora etc., 

 at the base of the cliffs. 



From the Ducking Stool to the Inlet of Harrington Sound most of 

 the collecting was of the smaller forms, some of them microscopic. 

 At one point, perhaps half a mile from the Inlet, was found at one 

 time an abundance of Coelarthnim Albertisii, as it was also on the 

 outer point of the Gibbet Islands. These two islands and the little 

 beaches on either side, being near our place of abode, were carefully 

 studied, and yielded from time to time several interesting things, 

 among them the new Lophosiphonia Saccorhiza, growing on a Codium; 

 Hahjmenia Agardhii and Aniithamnion cmciatum var. radicans also 

 occurred here. The Inlet of Harrington Sound is good collecting 

 ground for several species; on the south side is plenty of Ceramium 

 nitens, and on the wall of the Frascati Hotel may be found at all times 

 a fine growth of Callithamnion Halliae; Heterospora Vidovichii also 

 grew on this wall, and Avrainvillea nigricans grows buried in the mud 

 in the lower part of the Inlet. Over on the north side in the shallow 

 water one may find abundance of Udotea and Penicillus. Within the 

 Sound near the bridge is always an abundance of Wrangelia penicillata, 

 and always also Griffithsia tenuis; in Tucker's Bay at the west end of 

 the Sound we first found Neomeris annulata, afterwards found at 

 several other stations; farther to the north, in Major's Bay, were 

 two or three species of Bryopsis. At the farther end of the Sound in 

 a little cove near Walsingham House, called Dingle Bay, we found 

 rich collecting; it is the best station for characteristic Hypnea musci- 

 formis and for Champia parvula, rare in Bermuda, and the only station 

 for the new Dasya spimdigera, also the original station for Nitophyl- 

 lum Wilkinsoniac; on the south side of the Sound we found our best 

 growth of Acdabidaria crenulata in a little pool near the chapel; 

 the species is common in many other places, however; the shores 

 of the Sound everywhere abound in species of Bryopsis and Laurencia. 



About a mile north of Flatts Village we come to Shelly Bay, a fine
