PKELIMINARY LIST of the ALG^ of the L. M. B. C. 



DISTRICT. 



By Alfred Leicester. 



The Algae collected during last summer's expeditions were 

 few, and none of them specially rare. It should be 

 remembered, however, that no particular search was made 

 for Algae, the primary object of the expeditions being to 

 collect animals. During the coming summer, it is intended 

 to devote some time to a special study of the Algae of 

 the district, and it is hoped that a detailed report will be 

 ready for the second volume of the Liverpool Marine Biology 

 Committee's series.* In the meantime it is thought desirable 

 to give a list of those species of Algae which have been 

 already found in the locality. The classification and nomen- 

 clature are those of Harvey's '* Phycologia Britannica.'' 



Class.— ALG/E. 



Sub-class I.— MELANOSPERME^. 



Order I. — Fucace^. 



Halidrys siliquosa, 

 Fucus vesiculosus. 

 Fucus serratus. 

 Fucus nodosus. 



* Mr. F. P. Marrat, who has been working for some years at the sea- 

 weeds of the district, will probably also contribute a report upon certain 

 groups of the Algee.— Ed.
