(2) THE REEFS OP SOW .'^ND PIGS. 



The bottom around the reefs of Sow and Pigs (stations 35, 36 and 37), lying ofif Cut- 

 tyhunk, has an algal flora noteworthy for the presence of such species asDclcsseria simcosa, 

 Lomentaria rosea, and Plumaria elegans, forms which are also characteristic of the ledges off 

 Gay Head and are members of the cool-water sublittoral formation. The quantity of 

 algae is, however, not great. An examination of the reefs themselves, although difficult, 

 would doubtless prove interesting. There were considerable amounts of Corallina 

 officinalis (35, 36, 37), Delesseria sinuosa (35, 36), Phyllophora Brodicei (35, 36, 37), and 

 Plumaria elegans (36, 37), and in addition relatively few plants of Chmtomorpha melago- 

 nium {^7),Ectocarpus jasciculatas {2,7) , Laminaria Agardhii \a.r. viUata (36, ^,7), Ahnjeldtia 

 plicata (36), Ceramium rubrum (37), Ceramium tenuissimum (35), Chondrus crispus (35, 

 36), Cystocloniu7n purpurascens var. cirrhosum (35, 36, 37), Lithothamnion polymorphum 

 (35), Lomentaria rosea (37), Melobesia pustulata (36), Rhodymenia palmaia (36), and 

 Spermothamnion Turneri (35). 



(3) THE PASSAGE OF WOODS HOLE. 



The easterly side of the passage of Woods Hole (station 122) off the end of the hook- 

 shaped point of land called Penzance (IvOng Neck) has a sand and gravel bottom in 4 to 5 

 fathoms. The following species were found in small quantities: Champia parvula, Dasya 

 elegans, Griffithsia Bornetiana, Grinnellia americana, Phyllophora Brodiazi, Polysiphonia 

 nigrescens , Rhodomela Rochei, and Seirospora Griffithsiana. 



The westerly side of the passage off Uncatena Island (station 118) on a bottom of 

 sand and shells showed small quantities of Chordaria flagellijormis, Ceramium rubrum, 

 Chondrus crispus, Cystoclonium purpurascens, and Lomentaria uncinaia. Off the entrance 

 to Hadley Harbor (stations 119 and 120) the bottom is sand and mud, and appears 

 to support no algal life.
