nellia americana, Phyllophora Brodiei, Phyllophora membranijfolia, and Spermothamnion 
Turneri; these species are found at 12 or more stations each, and may be considered 
the dominant forms. ‘The list in general clearly shows that the algee of the summer in 
the deeper waters of the narrow portion of Vineyard Sound belong to the warm-water 
sublittoral formation. 
The easterly portion of Vineyard Sound? included in this Survey is a triangular 
region between a line drawn from Nobska Point to West Chop and a line between Fal- 
mouth Heights and East Chop. The bottom here is much more stony than in the 
westerly portion of the Sound (see chart 227). While there is considerable sand in spots, 
there are no sandy areas so extensive as to include several stations. This region, there- 
fore, may be described in general as gravelly, stony, and rocky, with sand in spots. 
The greatést depths were about 13 fathoms (chart 227), the average about 9 fathoms. 
The following alge were found in the easterly portion of the Sound:

between this body of water and Vineyard Sound.
