ALGAE 



In the Flora of Leicestershire, 1886, Mr. F. Bates published a most valuable account of the Fresh 

 Water Algae, several of the species being new to science. The following list of 242 species is 

 arranged in the order of G. F. West's British Fresh Water Algae. Doubtful forms are omitted, and 

 those within square brackets require confirmation. 



A few additions, including diatoms, have been named by Mr. Wm. West, to whom the writer 

 is much indebted.
