MARINE ALGAE OF THE MARITIME PROVINCES. 
G. U. HAY, PH. B. 
Last year I published in the Bulletin a partial list of the 
marine algae of the Bay of Fundy, amounting to thirty-three 
species. During the season of 1886, through the kindness of 
Professor Macoun, Government Botanist, and Mr. Robert 
Chalmers, of the Geological Survey, I was permitted to 
accompany the latter gentleman on a canoe trip which he 
made in July last, along the coasts of Caraquet and Tracadie, 
and around the islands of Shippegan and Miscou. Later in 
the season I visited Grand Manan, examining the algae of 
Dark Harbor, Southern Head and other points. On propos- 
ing to Mr. MacKay, of Pictou Academy, to make this list 
include the marine algic flora of the Maritime Provinces, that 
gentleman heartily responded, and has sent me not only the 
result of his own observations, but a record of those plants 
collected on the Nova Scotia shore by Dr. Harvey and des- 
cribed in his “ Nereis Boreali- Americana,” together with some 
observations made by Dr. Jeans, of Prince Edward Island, 
and contributed to Dr. Harvey’s work. To these may be 
added a short list published in 1879 by Professor Fowler, of 
Queen’s University, in his addenda to the New Brunswick 
flora, and these are referred to in the subjoined list. A col- 
lection of marine algae made by the late Professor C. Fred. 
Hartt on the shores of the Bay of Fundy has just been placed 
in my hands, but too late to have the results of his investiga- 
tions incorporated. It is, no doubt, the earliest collection of 
New Brunswick algae. 
Both Mr. MacKay and myself have been too busy with 
regular work to give much more than a passing notice to this
