Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Green Algae of North America Under each species will be found a concise description, with a record of the localities in which it has been found; if in the United States, the State is given, but seldom any more exact location. Reference is given to the original publication of the binomial, also to some good plate or figure; where there has been distributed in some set of exsiccatae a specimen that can be identified with the species in question, reference is made to this; by preference use is made of the Phycotheca Boreali Americana of Collins, Holden Setchell, as being at once the fullest for American algae, and the most accessible for Ameri can students. References are also given to three standard works Harvey, 1852, Farlow, 1881, and Wolle., 1887. Where the basis of treatment of any family or genus has been the monograph of any author, reference is made to such monograph under each species. In special cases other references have seemed desirable, and have been made. In the plates there will be found at least one figure for each genus; in most cases these are taken from standard works, often from the original description of the Species represented. Where a choice had to be made of the species to be represented, in some cases a type was selected other than the one most famil iar to American students in the usual text books.
