Abstract
IN the last fifty years or so there has been much progress in our knowledge of seaweeds, but until comparatively recently, mainly from the botanical point of view. Until this century, botanists had been chiefly concerned with nomenclature and with the major fasts of structure a Tid reproduction of a few commoner types. But early in this century, newer lines of investigation were being developed, involving the systematic analysis of vegetational units and the study of the complex relations between the plant and its environment. Mr. A. D. Cotton has made an ecological survey of the marine algae of Clare Island, off the coast of Ireland. This study, the first of its kind by a British author relating to the algae, became and has remained a classic for other workers in this field.
