Four years ago the first volume of Postelsia 

 was published, with seven papers by members 

 of the Minnesota Seaside Station. Now, seven 

 other papers have been brought together in the 

 hope that they will be of interest to those who 

 have made the pilgrimage and sat in the Hall 

 of the Energids. This little book will at least 

 be a souvenir to those who know the Vancouver 

 coast and love the memories of happy days 

 and nights under the sheltering roof of the 

 "Sea Palms" or beside the white water. To 

 others, too, it is hoped that these papers will 

 have some scientific and permanent value.
