Abstract
IT may interest readers of NATURE who collect fresh-water Algæ, to know how easy of cultivation is this beautiful species It occurs frequently, though by no means every year, in one of the tanks in the Royal Gardens, Kew. Last summer, about this time, I gathered it there in considerable quantities. After preparing specimens for demonstration, I placed the remainder in a glass dish, where it remained in my study, entirely neglected, except for an occasional renewal of the water, until a week or two ago, when I found it still in beautiful condition, with both large and small nets. It is to be found again this year in its original habitat, with nets of an unusually large, almost gigantic, size.
