EE VISED LIST OF MAEINE ALGM. 85 



Prof. Farlow's List of New England Alga, and I have to 

 record my best thanks, not only to Dr. Farlow for his kind 

 permission to use his tables, but also to my friend Mr. E. 

 A. L. Batters, LL.B., F.L.S., for his kindness in adapt- 

 ing the tables to suit our local Marine Flora. I must also 

 express my great indebtness to Mr. Batters for constant 

 help and advice freely given me during the compilation of

 F.L.S., Mr. A. W. Bennett, F.L.S., and Dr. Edouard 

 Bornet for help in indentification of specimens, &c.

vol. vii.) by Dr. G. S. Brady, F.E.S. to whom I 

 beg to return my best thanks for the use of his 

 MS. notes on an interleaved copy of his paper ;

I. of Man Nat. Hist. Soc, 1890) by Bev. T. 

 Talbot. 



(4) Marine Alga of the I. of Man, {Wesley Naturalist, 



1889) by Mr. King. 

 My own work, since the publication of my former report, 

 has consisted of investigations on the Algae of Puffin 

 Island during a number of visits to the Biological Sta- 

 tion there. On one of these occasions I had the advantage 

 of the company of Mr. Batters and Mr. Murray, when 

 many additional forms new to our list were observed. 

 Mr. Batters and I also paid a visit to Hilbre Island and
