The present list adds a few names to the recorded list, and 

 adds considerably to the list of stations at which the various species 

 have been found. Peculiar in its proximity to a great population 

 center, heavily populated on its western end, the island offers 

 special opportunity for observing changes in the algal population 

 with development of the land. The early records of Pike should 

 be systematically confirmed at the nearest practicable points to 

 the original stations. With most of the bays, points and other 

 interesting features of coastal topography easily approached by 

 road, it should be possible to obtain a thorough picture of the flora 

 with relatively little difficulty. Work of a thorough type, rather 

 than scattered records, is needed.
