ALG^. 



The recent publication of several large Algological works, has ren- 

 dered it unnecessary to include, in this Keport, any remarks upon the 

 present state of the science, or upon the classification of Algse. For 

 information upon these points, as well as for the Synonyms of many 

 of the species, we would refer to the Species, Genera, et Ordines Alga- 

 rum, by J. G. Agardh ; the Phycologia of Kiitzing ; and the Phycologia 

 Britannica, the Nereis Australis, and the Nereis Boreali- Americana, of 

 Professor Harvey. 



Our Report is wholly founded upon an examination of the dried 

 specimens of the present collection, which were unaccompanied by 

 any notes, except the indication of the locality where each specimen 

 was gathered. The following list exhibits the species found at each 

 locality, and includes the characters of the new genera and species. 

 This is followed by a similar list of the Diatomacese, and other micro- 

 scopic objects found adhering to the Algae.
