12 COLLINS AND HERVEY. 



famous as a rich station; here in a single day in 1881 Farlow found 

 Dudresnaya caribaea, D. hermudensis, Calosiphonia verticillifcra and 

 Kallymenia perforata, none of which except the second have been 

 found in Bermuda since; we have made several visits to the island in 

 the hope of finding them, but in vain, but each trip was rewarded by 

 unexpected good things. 



From Tucker's Town way along the South Shore to Ely's Harbor, 

 a distance of some fifteen miles, the shore presents an alternation of 

 long beaches and high precipitous rocks, with but here and there a bay 

 where one can collect algae. The reef rims along parallel to the shore, 

 from a quarter to a half a mile outside. There are two or three Httle 

 bays in Southampton which we have not explored ; but we have found 

 that the flora of the west end of the island is not nearly as rich as that 

 of the east end. On the south shore east of the meridian of Hamilton 

 are a few bays that should be mentioned; these are in the neighbor- 

 hood of Devil's Hole, viz.. Pink Bay, Smith's Bay and Gravelly Bay; 

 a reference to the text will show what plants have been collected in 

 these localities; special attention is called only to the last of the three, 

 Gravelly Bay. It is not more than a quarter of a mile across the 

 island from Devil's Hole; it has proved a remarkably fertile place; 

 it is the only station where we have found Gracilaria horizontalis, 

 Turbinaria tricostata and Dilophus guineensis, though the latter was 

 found by Farlow in Paget. The place is rich in several species of 

 Dictyota, also in Zonaria lobata and Dictyopteris Justii in their seasons. 

 Here also we first found Trichogloea Herveyi, and we have found it 

 there every season since; a little cave near the bay has yielded a 

 number of species, rarely found elsewhere. 



About a mile farther along towards the west we come to what is 

 known as Spanish Rock; here at the foot of a high precipice, Col- 

 povienia sirmosa and Hydroclathrus canceUatm cover the rocks, and 

 may be collected at low tide; another mile along in the same direction 

 we come to Harris Bay, another good station; here several species of 

 Spyridia and Liagora abound, also two species of Spliacelaria, Wrigh- 

 ticlla Blodgettii, Digenea simplex and others; it is the only station for 

 Udotea conglutinata and Rosenvingia intricata. Devonshire Bay just 

 beyond we did not find very productive, but a mile and a half farther 

 on is Hungry Bay, which will reward several visits at different seasons; 

 Dictyotas and Dictyopteris abound here in summer, and in the tidal 

 creek Howe collected Acicidaria Schcnckii, the only time it has been 

 found in Bermuda; in this creek also is excellent Ernodesmis verti- 

 cillata. Geminella scalariformis forma marina was found in a pool m 

 the rocks on the west side of the bay.
