Abstract
1. The paper presents the results of an investigation of the attached algal flora, as estimated by the growths on slides, of the slow sand filter-beds of the Whittle Dene Waterworks, Northumberland. 2. The flora consists largely of filamentous and attached diatoms and Chaetophoraceae and shows marked seasonal differences in composition and abundance. Then community is compared with that of rivers. 3. The factors influencing seasonal differences, colonisation, and succession are examined. 4. Differences in the attached flora of beds which have been in operation for different lengths of time are considered in relation to the aquatic fauna.
