Abstract
IN NATURE for April 27 it was stated, in connection with the plankton statistics taken periodically in the Irish Sea from the Port Erin Biological Station, that (p. 289) “the outstanding fact in this season's work, so far, is that the diatoms are unusually scarce and late. The vernal phytoplankton maximum has not yet arrived.”
