classification of Floridea is now mainly based. A short account of 

 the Cyanophijce(B, or blue-green algfe, forms the final chapter, the 

 investigations of Bornet, Flahault, and Gomont being incorporated. 



The book is by no means confined to an account of British sea- 

 weeds : it appeals also to American and Australian students. It is 

 throughout well-illustrated, though some of the coloured illustrations 

 leave much to be desired. A few slight errors of statement or 

 typography, which need not be enumerated here, should be corrected 

 in a future edition. 



While in places the style is somewhat colloquial {e.g., p. 84, 

 "In that case Chorda would have to go "), the treatment is generally 

 academic, and does not contain as much "Kernerism" as we could 

 have wished. A more popular and connected account of the 

 transition from isogamous to oogamous reproduction, so well seen 

 in the PhcBophycea, of the perforating or shell-boring algfe (mostly 

 green or blue-green), &c., might have been included. The book gives 

 a comprehensive survey of a branch of natural history not similarly 

 treated in any other work, and can be heartily recommended.
