villei, Chordaria flag elli for mis , Ceramium rnhriim and Acrosiphonia 

 spec. were also tbund. 



From Sund a little farther up, the fjord inclines slightly towards 

 the north, with Ihe result that the algal vegetation remains si- 

 milar to that of somewhat exposed coasts; at 7, where the coast 

 is fringed hy steep rocks, were found : Alaria esciilenta, Laminaria 

 digitata, Rhodymenia palmata, Fiicus inflatiis (large), Ceramium rii- 

 brum, Porphyra together with Bangia and Urospora pemcilliformis, 

 and still farther, at 8, Laminaria digitata, Alaria esculenta, Coral- 

 lina officinalis, Gigartina, Cladophora riipestris, Fucus inflatiis (large), 

 Fiiciis spiralis (large), Porphyra iimhilicalis, Enteromorpha, and so 

 on, that is, a vegetation typical on the whole of somewhat exposed 

 coasts, but large and vigorous specimens of Fiiciis spiralis and 

 Fucus inflatiis, up to 2 feet long, now occur. That Ihe waves may 

 wash heavily at times even so far up the fjord as this, is clear 

 from the faet that there was some surf even on the day of my 

 visit, in spite of the great calmness of the sea. 



The fjord now bends again more towards the west, and the 

 vegetation is henceforward typically that of sheltered coasts. At 9, 

 the beach slopes gently and is covered with stones of different 

 sizes on which are found sublittorally Laminaria saccharina and 

 Chorda filiim, [Alaria is now no longer found), Himanthalia lorea 

 and Fucus inflatiis (on open shores, the two last are always littoral), 

 the lastmentioned still continuing far enough upwards to become 

 littoral, and to form large clumps on the stones; then come Fucus 

 spiralis and some few Porphyra iimbilicalis. A little farther, at 10, 

 in water one foot deep, were found: Chorda filum, Laminaria sac- 

 charina, Ceramium riibrum, Monostroma fuscum, Enteromorpha Linza, 

 Ectocarpus litoralis (in large, thick masses), Dictyosiphon foeniculaceus, 

 Stictyosiphon tortilis, Scytosiphon lomentarius; in shallower water: 

 large clumps o^ Fucus inflatiis; and at the surface: Fucus vesiculosus 

 and Fucus spiralis, the latter partly dried. Still farther, at 11, were 

 noted: Laminaria saccharina, Ceramium rubrum, Acrosiphonia, En- 

 teromorpha Linza, Monostroma fuscum, Dumontia filiformis, Fucus 

 inflatiis, all sublittoral ; and at the w^ater's edge and a little above : 

 Ascophyllum nodosum, Fucus vesiculosus and Fucus spiralis. 



Al the head of the fjord, Enteromorpha clathrata, E. intestinalis, 

 Ectocarpus litoralis, Ceramium rubrum and Fucus inflatiis were found 

 at low water; farther also, Fucus vesiculosus and Fucus spiralis lit- 

 torally, and highest of all Pelvetia canaliciilata. Much fresh water
