Abstract
CASPIAN SEA ALGÆ.—Herr A. Grunow has quite recently published a detailed catalogue of a collection of algæ, made by himself at Baku and Krasnowodsk, on the Caspian, and also of some collections made by his friend Czermak in Baku Bay and by Thieme in Krasnowodsk Gulf, in addition some specimens preserved in spirits were given him by Dr. Schneider. Excluding the diatoms only eleven species are alluded to, and but two (Cladophora) appear as new. Of the diatoms there is a goodly list. Many of the species of these diatoms appear to occur everywhere. Go where one will, they are to be found, and what a marvellous geographical distribution !—Baku on the Caspian, St. Paul's Island in the Southern Ocean, and then the Frith of Clyde, or the mouth of the Thames. Two beautiful plates representing the new species of diatoms accompany the paper. Many of the species are marine forms.
