- Title
THE MARGINAL ALGAE OF CERTAIN PONDS, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE BOTTOM DEPOSITS.

- Abstract
The article discusses a research, which was aimed at discovering whether there was a definite community of unattached algae living on the bottom deposits of ponds and to determine the influence of these deposits on the littoral algae. The study was conducted in England in January 1936 until March 1938. The results showed that the bottom deposits in the littoral regions of ponds bear a growth of algae on or in close proximity to the surface. Occasional observations on the littoral regions of other ponds revealed that similar floras are of widespread occurrence.
