Word of Mntroduction 
Conway MacMILLAN 
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.
