ALGAE OF THE HAWAIIAN ARCHIPELAGO. I 
VAUGHAN MACCAUGHEY 
The algae, particularly the seaweeds, of the Hawaiian Islands 
have attracted the attention of investigators for many years. In 
1876 NorDstEpt published a report upon the collections of BERG- 
GREN (“De Algae aquae dulcis et de Characeis ex insulis Sand- 
vicensibus a Sv. BERGGREN 1875 reportatis”’). 
In 1881 a small list entitled ‘‘ The algae of the Hawaiian Islands,” 
by J. E. CHAMBERLAIN, appeared in THrum’s Hawatian Almanac 
and Annual for that year. In 1899 REINBOLD reported upon the 
collections of ScHAUINSLAND (‘‘Meersealgen. Ergebnisse einer 
Reise nach dem Pacific; H. SCHAUINSLAND 1896-97.” Abhandl. 
Naturw. Vereins Bremen 1899). The collector SCHAUINSLAND 
spent three months on the island of Laysan and made extensive 
collections of the algae of that island, of Oahu, and of the plankton 
between Oahu and Laysan. In 1901 Miss JosEpHINE E. TILDEN 
published a popular article on ‘‘Algae collecting in the Hawaiian 
Islands” in Postelsia. This was an informal narrative of the 
visit made by herself and two other ladies to the islands in 1900. 
In 1902 Miss TILDEN published, in THRuM’s Hawaiian Annual, a 
list of 100 species entitled ‘‘Collection of algae from the Hawaiian 
Islands.”” Im 1905 Miss MINNIE REED, science teacher at the 
Kamehameha Schools in Honolulu, published a valuable report 
in the Annual Report of the Hawaii Agricultural Experiment ene 
entitled “The economic seaweeds of Hawaii and their food value.” 
In 1905 F. Branpv published ‘‘Anheftung der larg ammeter 
und iiber verschiedene polynesische Formen dieser Familie” 
(Beih. Bot. Centralbl. 18:165—-193). In 1905 E. LEMMERMANN pub- 
lished a very comprehensive paper (‘‘ Die Algenflora der Sandwich- 
Inseln,” Bot. Jahrb. 35:607~663), including plankton studies, and 
full records of the collections of SCHAUINSLAND. 
In 1905 W. A. SETCHELL, who had made a short visit to the 
islands, published a paper ‘on “Limu” (the Hawaiian word for 
seaweeds) in Univ. Cal. Pub. Bot. 2:91-113. In 1910 Miss
