ALG^. 



Little too has been done in this order. The workers in this 

 field are few, and those who have the courage to enter it approach 

 it rather from the microscopic or physiological side than from that 

 of systematic botany ; the want of a recent British manual of the 

 freshwater algce being a great impediment in the way of their 

 study.* 



* Botanists acquainted with the Latin language will find Rabenhorst's 'Flora 

 europjea Algarum aquse dulcis et submarinEe ' ( E. Kummerum, Leipzig, 3 vols., 

 1864 — 1868), an excellent book, cheap and full, with figures of all the genera.
