Abstract
THE series of volumes comprised in Pascher's “Süsswasserflora” first began to appear in 1913 and is now rapidly approaching completion. Those so far published deal with the Flagellatæ, the Isokontæ (apart from Volvocales and Desmidiaceæ), the Bacillariales, Heterokontæ, Phfeophyceæ, Rhodophyceæ, Charales, and Bryophyta. The work deserves to be more widely known among those interested in the study of freshwater Algas, for since each volume is compiled by a specialist on the particular group, it usually embodies the results of critical work and is strictly up-to-date. It is far more than a popular summary of what is known. At the same time, keys for the determination of genera and species are numerous and as a rule carefully prepared, so that even a relative novice is put in the position of being able to identify common forms both speedily and easily.
