Abstract

Thirty-four species of marine algae were collected from the north jetty at Ocean City, Maryland, during July and August, 1966: 6 Cyanophyta, 16 Rhodophyta, 4 Phaeophyta and 8 Chlorophyta. Of these 8 species (about 25%) were at their southern known limit either during summer (Petalonia fascia, Porphyra lecosticta, Scytosiphon lomentaria andPorphyra umbilicalis) or the year around (Nemalion multifidum, Callithamnion baileyi, Polysiphonia urceolata andP. novae-angliae). Consequently, Ocean City, Maryland, is a new southern boundary for some marine algae having their northern limits north of Cape Cod.
