In a previous paper,* I gave some account of the freshwater 

 alg£e and algal fungi of the Richmond River at Lismore. The 

 following pages are concerned with forms found on land.f The 

 majority of the latter were collected, during 1914, from lagoons, 

 swamps, rainwater-pools, and roadside-ditches almost entirely 

 within the boundaries of the city of Lismore. The following 

 Table shows the general character and composition of the alga- 

 flora of these swamp-waters compared with that of the River.

 land, the second the total from the river (^.c, p. 95). Records
