Abstract
DURING April and May 1949, Ectocarpus granulosus C. Agardh growing at mean low-water spring tide at Saltstone, which is about 1½ miles up the River Sal, from Salcombe, was heavily infected with a parasitic fungus. The Saltstone habitat is a purely marine one and is sheltered in the river estuary. The Ectocarpus grows attached to small stones and to other algæ in the Vaucheria-community. By July most of the Ectocarpus plants had disappeared from the locality.
