Abstract
IN a note on algoid swarm spores, published in NATURE, vol. xv. p. 15, reference is made to the new investigations of M. Sachy, who considers the motion and accumulation of spore as due to currents produced by differences of temperature in the water, and not at all to the action of the light causing the living swarm-spores to move. I do not know the experiments by which this result has been reached; but the following seems to me a confirmation of the new theory.
