famous as a rich station; here in a single day in iss] Farlow found 

 Dudresnaya earibaea, D. bernvudensis, Calosiphonia verticillifera and 

 Kallymenia perforata, none of which except the second have been 

 found in Bermuda since; we have made several visits to the island in 

 the hope of finding them, but in vain, hut each trip was rewarded by 

 unexpected good thin. 



From Tucker's Town way along the South Shore to Ely's Harbor, 

 a distance of some fifteen miles, the shore presents an alternation of 

 long beaches and high precipitous rock-, with but here and there a bay 

 where one can collect algae. The reef runs along parallel to the si 

 from a quarter to a half a mile outside. There are two or three little 

 bays in Southampton which we have not explored; but we have found 

 that the flora of the west end of the island is not nearly as rich as that 

 of the east end. On the south shore east of the meridian of Hamilton 

 are a few hay- that should he mentioned; these are in the neighbor- 

 hood of Devil's Hole, viz., Pink Hay, Smith's Bay and Gravelly Bay; 

 a reference to the text will show what plants have been collected in 

 these localities; special attention is called only to the lasl of the three. 

 Gravelly Bay. It is not more than a quarter of a mile across the 

 island from Devil's Hole; it has proved a remarkably fertile place; 

 it is the only station where we have found GracUaria horvsontalis, 

 Turbinaria tricostata and Dilophus guineensis, though the latter was 

 found by Fallow in Paget. The place is rich in several species of 

 Dictyota, also in Zonaria lobaia and Dictyopteris Justii in their seasons. 

 Here also we first found Trichogloea Ilcrrci/i, and we have found it 

 there every season since; a little cave near the hay has yielded a 

 number of species, rarely found elsewhere. 



About a mile farther along towards the west we come to what is 

 known as Spanish Hock; here at the font of a high precipice, CoU 

 pomenia sinuosa and Hydroclathrus canceUatus cover the rocks, and 



may he collected at low tide, another mile along in the same direction 



we come to Harris Bay, another good station; here several sp< ci< 

 Spyridia and Liagora abound, also two species of Sphacelaria, Wrigh* 

 tiella Blodgettii, Digenea simplex and others; it is the only station for 

 Udotea conglviinata and Rosenvingia intricata. Devonshire Bay just 

 beyond we did not find very productive, hut a mile and a half farther 

 on is Hungry Bay, which will reward several visits at different seasons; 

 Dictyotas and Dictyopteris abound here in summer, and in the tidal 

 creek Howe collected Acicvlaria Schenckii, the only time it has been 

 found in Bermuda; in this creek also is excellent Ernodesmis vrti- 



ciUata. GemineUa scalariformis forma marina was found in a \ I in 



the rocks on the west side of the hay.
