I. Introduction. THE alga: treated of in the following paper were collected by Mr. J. Stanley Gardiner during the Percy Sladen Trust Expedition to the Indian Ocean in 1905. It was at first intended that Mrs. A. Gepp should work out the collection, but she handed it over to me, and illness prevented her joining in the work, which we would only have been too glad to carry out together. She had, however, sorted the material before sending it to me.The collection does not contain all the Rhodophycee collected by Mr. Stanley Gardiner; the Litlmthamnicc have been worked out by the late lamented Mr. Foslie. The literature on the algae of this part of the Indian Ocean is scarce, for besides the paper by Mr. Foslie and the Report on the Chlorophpcea: and Phaeophyceae of the’Sealark’Expedition by A. Gepp, MA, FLS, and Mrs. E. Gepp, I only know of one paper in which more than a few algae of this region are mentioned. Mr. Reinbold, in “Meeresalgen der Deutschen Tiefsee-Expedition,” mentions 26 species of Rhodophyceae from Diego Garcia and Mah6, 10 of whic: h have been also collected by Mr. Stanley Gardiner. Besides this paper of Mr. Reinbold, I have found two other short references to alga: from Diego Garcia and the Seychelles. Mr. WB Hemsley adds a note on A lp to his “Report on the Vegetation of Diego Garcia.” Of the algae named only Busycc indicu, J. Ag., has any interest for us at present; it is the only Red alga mentioned. A note by “J.€ 3.’’in ‘Knowledge’treats only of Myxophyceae, and may therefore be passed over in silence. The ‘Sealark’collection had special interest for me because I am just publishina, with the aid of Mr. Reinbold, the first part of a list of algae collected during the ‘Siboga’Expedition in the Malay Archipelago. This part contains the Myxophyceae, Chlorophyceae, and the Phzeophyceae; the second part, containing the Rhodophyceae, will, I hope, follow soon. The study of a region so near to the Malay Archipelago afforded me great interest from a phyto-geographical standpoint. It had, however, one drawback; some species found by me in the ‘Siboga’collection and recognized as new are also found in the Stanley Gardiner collection, and the faet that the paper on the algae of the Indian Ocean will appear before the Siboga paper, will diminish the number of novelties in the latter. But this could not be avoided, and I have described the new species as fully as I could; only in one case, when the barren, small fragment could not possibly have been recognized apart from the fertile specimens of the ‘Siboga’Expedition, have I referred to the forthcomisg paper.
