NOTES ON THE AL,G^ OF THE KILDONAN SHORE, A.RRAN. 17S 

 CHLOROSPERME^. 



Codlum toiyientosuiii. — Large size, not common ; small size^ 

 common. 



Poi^pliyra vulgaris. — Frequent, but not in good condition. 



Enteroniorplia intestinalis. — Common, where fresh water 

 flows into the sea. 



E. compressa. — Common. 



E. clathrata. — Common. 



Ulva Linza. — Frequent. 



U. latissima. — Common. 



Cladophora arcta. — Common. 



C. rupestris. — Common. 



Another extensive genus, to which I have not yet given 

 much attention. 



I hope that a few more of the members may be 

 induced to begin the study of the Algcv, and that 

 this Hst may be greatly increased. One or two 

 special excursions might be useful in helping 

 beginners. 



The usual way of mounting is on the wet paper, 

 and as soon after collecting as i)ossible ; but more 

 time and convenience are required for this process 

 than can sometimes be spared. I append a few 

 hints from Mrs. Gatty's book on Sea-weeds that 

 may be found useful. 



Take an old towel, on which put a row of the 

 sea- weeds as they are collected; then fold the towel 

 over the row of weeds, and repeat till the towel is 

 full. The sea-weeds may thus be carried in towels, 

 and kept for a day, when they can be laid out in 

 the usual way. 



Another method is to spread out the sea-weeds 

 on newspapers on the floor of an airy room, but 

 not in the sun, and turn them occasionally till dry, 

 when they may be packed up loosely in paper bags. 

 They will keep for a considerable time in this con- 

 dition ; and when laid out they can be moistened, 

 and made like freshly-gathered weeds. This plan ia 

 well-suited for the coarser kinds; but for the more 

 delicate species no method succeeds so well as^ 

 mounting them whenever they are collected.
