Abstract
THE present-day freshwater Algse represent Jthe most elementary types of holophytic plant-life to which we have access. The probability that such forms will ever be found preserved in the fossil state in sufficient numbers and showing the necessary details of cell-structure to be of any value for comparative morphological study or for the elucidation of the mode of origin of the multicellular plant, appears at the best to be remote.
