![CHAPTER IX. A LIST OF THE BRITISH MARINE ALGkE. [According to the systematic arrangement in Professor Harvey's Phycologia Britannica.] The names are good, for how, without their aid, Is knowledge gained by man, to man conveyed ? But from that source shall all our pleasure flow ? Shall all our knowdedge be, these names to know ?

Species m which the native locality is doubtful are marked with an asterisk (*) ; those which are doubtful as species and require further examination are marked with a cross (f). Series 1.
