Part X. Marine Alg^e. 
By Herbert D, Gelbart, President. 
Read 2 ‘]th March, 1883. 
The following Est of the Marine Alga3 which have been found on 
the coast of Norfolk is, like the other botanical lists which I have 
contributed to the ‘ Transactions ’ of this Society, more of a coni- 
j)ilation of the records already published by others, than an 
original work; still, by the observations of Miss A. M, Barnard and 
myself, a considerable number of species (about thirty) have been 
added to former publications ; and there is not the least doubt that 
if any one resident on our coast, who could give attention to the 
subject all the year round, would take it up, their efforts Avould 
meet with good reward in the discovery of many fresh species. 
The principal lists already published are that of the Messrs. C. J. 
and James (now Sir James) Paget, in their ‘ Sketch of the Natural 
History of Yarmouth,’ in 183T ; and one by the late Eev. George 
Munford, in White’s ‘History and Directory of Norfolk,’ in 1SG4. 
There are also various Norfolk localities mentioned in Harvey’s 
‘Phycologia Britannica.’ 
The late De»vsoii Turner of Yarmouth, in his ‘Historia Fucorum ’ 
(vol. ii. p. 84), alludes to Lilly Wigg as being the discoverer 
of seven species of “ Fuci,” as they were then all called ; 
viz., F. (Delesseria) lujpoglossum, (£>.) ruscifolius, (Laurencia) 
dasypliyllus, {Rliodomela) siibfusaiis, {Chrysemenia) clavellosus, 
{Bonnemaisonia) asparagoides, and (Naccaria) Wiggii ; and also 
of Ulva {Gtdleria) midtifida, Conferva {Ectocarpiis) Mertensii, 
C. {Callithamnion) rosea, and 0. {Polysiplionia) stricia, which last 
is said, in the Synopsis of ‘ Phycologia Britannica,’ to bo the young- 
state of Polysiplionia formosa.
