IN view of the fact that a study of the literature on the red and brown algae revealed considerable uncertainty as to whether true cellulose occurs in these plants, the following seaweeds were examined for cellulose by the usually accepted methods:—among the red algae, Corallina officinalis, Bostrychia scorpioides, Chondrus crispus, Rhodymenia palmata ; among the brown algae, Laminaria saccharina, L. digitata, Fucus serratus, F. vesiculosus, Ascophyllum nodosum, Pelvetia canaliculata and P. canaliculata, forma libera.
