Abstract
I HAVE been studying the anatomy of the British salt marsh fucoids under the direction of Prof. V. J. Chapman. While Prof. Chapman was at Manchester in 1946, Prof. I. Manton, as a matter of interest, examined the apical cell of Fucus vesiculosus ecad volubilis and found that it was in the three-sided juvenile state. On this basis, Prof. Chapman in his book “An Introduction to the Study of the Algæ” surmised that the three-sided juvenile condition of the apical cell may be common to all marsh forms of the fucoids, and this has proved to be correct.
