ALGJE OF THE NEW HEBEIDES, 



Cliristmas, 1879. 

 Herewith, dear Dr. Agnew, I send you a list of 23 Algser 

 which -were examined from a small collection, made by Mr- 

 F. Campbell, on my request, during bis stay in the New 

 Hebrides. The elaboration of these oceanic plants, the first 

 recorded from that group, is by Dr. W. O. Bonder, who 

 since fully 40 years has been an eminent author on this tribe 

 of vegetation, who still makes phycology a favourite study, 

 and who can bring an almost unrivalled experience to bear 

 on the elucidation of seaweeds. As Dr. Sonder is an honorary 

 member of the Tasmanian Eoyal Society, I have thought it 

 but right to offer these notes of his preferentially to your 

 journal. 



Eegardfully yours, 



Feed. Von Muellee.
