Nearly the whole of those collected in the waters about Atlantic 

 City have been identified or examined either by Prof. Farlow or 

 Franlv S. Collins of Maiden, Mass. The latter spent a few days 

 at that point examining the collections of Prof Morse, aud study- 

 ing the finer forms found at the Inlet and Thoroughfare, The 

 writer is greatly indebted to him for his generous and kindly aid, 

 always furnished whenever called upon, and without which this 

 list could not have been made as complete as it now is. The Geo- 

 lo<*;ical Survey of New Jersey is to be congratulated that the 



valuable services of this eminent algologist have been thus ob- 

 tained. 



Among the microscopic forms of Marine Algae some species 

 may yet be detected on our shores, but the list embraces all the 

 species known or said to have been collected on our coast. The 

 herbarium of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia 

 has been examined in the preparation of this list; and the writer 

 desires to return his sincere thanks to the numerous persons who 

 have kindly allowed him to examine their collections, and to ex- 

 press the hope that this publication may be the means of awaken- 

 ing an interest In, or an incentive to a closer study of our flora by 

 many of the thousands who spend some portion of the year at 

 the numerous sea-side resorts of our State.
