BIOLOGY OF THE ALGAE KINGSBURY 
Structure, ecology, physiology, origins, economic 
importance and evolution in the groups of the blue- 
green, green, yellowgreen, golder brown, and 
euglenoid algae are discussed, Evolutionary and 
ecological significance of different pigment systems 
are demonstrated, Biologically important characteris- 
tics of ponds and streams are brought out in relation 
to the algae populating them. Emphasis is placed 
also on particular biochemicak, physiological, or 
structural characteristics of algae of potential 
value in research on general biological problems, 
Living material of a large number of genera is pro- 
vided in laboratory to illustrate lecture topics, to 
demonstrate and provide practice in techniques of 
isolation and culture, and to develop a working 
familiarity with the local algal flora. 
BIOLOGY OF THE ALGAE KINGSBURY 
Although a continuation of Course 112, covering the 
groups of the diatoms, dinoflagellates, brown, and 
red algae and emphasizing the characteristics of 
the marine environment, this course is complete in 
itself and need not be preceeded by Course 112. 
Photographic transparencies of living specimens 
are used extensively to supplement examination of 
preserved material in laboratory, Participation 
in an optional field trip to varied marine and 
brackish habitats on Cape Cod and Cape Ann, 
Massachusetts in late spring may be limited to 
12 students. 
SPECIAL PROBLEMS IN PHYCOLOGY KINGSBURY 
Students engaged in special problems or making 
special studies may register in this course. They 
must satisfy the instructor that their preparation 
warrants their choice of problem.
