THE ALGAE OF VICTORIA. 497 
On each specimen sheet is noted the exact channel or distance 
from the shore, depth of water, and in fact every particular that 
may be of use to the student who wishes to work up the algae of Port 
Philip Heads. The description of a number of algae new to science 
(at that time) found by Mr. Wilson, and named by J. G. Agardh, 
may be seen in the report of the A.A.A.S., vol. ii, 1890. To the 
west of Port Philip Heads are a number of seaside resorts that are 
particularly rich in seaweeds. Ocean Grove has been already 
noticed with reference to its seadrift. But the rocks uncovered 
at ebb tide are well worth examining in this neighbourhood. The 
curious Codium bursa is only found fastened to the base of rocks 
that are last uncovered and first covered, so that it is always in 
deep water. The next place is Barwon Heads, then Bream Creek, 
and Spring Creek (Torquay). It will be unnecessary to detail the 
seaweeds found at these places as I have specially noticed the 
locality of each species in the list appended to this paper. This 
is the first complete list of Victorian algae, and in compiling it I 
was helped in the most material way by several gentlemen. Mr. 
J. Gabriel placed at my disposal his magnificent collection of 
Victorian algae. These were collected at Warrnambool and else- 
where by the late Mr. Henry Watts, a most indefatiguable worker 
in natural history. J am also deeply indebted to Mr. J. G. Lueh- 
mann, Curator of the Botanic Museum, for the courtesy and actual 
help always forthcoming when required.
