Abstract
THE receipt of an interesting paper by Professor Dickie, entitled “Notes on range in depth of marine Algæ,” lately published by the Botanical Society of Edinburgh, induces me to call the attention of physiologists to the fact, that plant-life appears to be absent in the ocean, with the exception of a comparatively narrow fringe (known as the littoral and laminarian zones), which girds the coasts, and of the “Sargasso” tract in the Gulf of Mexico.
