C., And Adjacent Regions All photographs and, except where otherwise stated, all drawings are original, nearly all the photographs being made from living plants and all the drawings being made with a camera lucida. In the descriptions of the various groups and in the natural key free use has been made of current works, especially those of Engler and Prantl (1897 De Toni (1889 and Collins (1909, The descriptions of the species, however, are based in part on specimens observed by the author, includ ing those found at Beaufort and those in American herbaria which were accessible to him. In using the artificial key to genera and the keys to species, it should be borne in mind that these have been prepared for the particular genera and species mentioned in this work, and if used for alga of other regions may lead the student astray. Even in this region these keys may cause confusion if genera and species other than those mentioned should be found. A collector should, therefore, always carefully compare his specimens with the descriptions before venturing to assign them names. The gross measurements of the size of species should not be taken too strictly, the figures given being the limits of specimens observed by the author or for which a record has been seen.
