BOTANY FRESHWATER ALGM. The freshwater algae of Kent have never been carefully worked out, except in the im- mediate neighbourhood of Tunbridge Wells. The most complete list that has been pub- lished is that given in Jenner's Flora of Tunbridge Wells. To this list is now added a number of species collected by the writer in the neighbourhood of Sevenoaks, and some diatoms col- lected by the late Dr. E. Capron at Northfleet and Folkestone. But there are many localities in Kent that would probably yield a large number of species not yet detected in the county, such as the marsh ditches near the estuaries of the Thames and Medway, and those around Minster and Grove Ferry, and on the coast near Deal and Reculver. Others would unquestionably be found in the ponds scattered throughout the county. The following list must therefore not be regarded as a fully representative one.
