Synopsis

Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Algae

The algae are now divided into a number of groups, and whilst it is essential that the student should know that these groups exist, nevertheless, his attention should be concerned primarily with the major divisions. For this reason most attention has been given to the Chlorophyceae, Xanthophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Phaeophyceae, and Rhodophyceae. This is perhaps somewhat indefensible, but since the species Which are normally encountered by the student belong principally to these groups, I believe the procedure is justified.
