Abstract
SINCE the reports by de Valera1, Harvey and Drew2, and Drew3 of the occurrence of Asparagopsis armata Harv. and what is believed to be another phase of its life-history, Falkenbergia rufolanosa in a number of localities in Ireland and on the southwest coast of England, its spread around the British coast has been watched with interest by phycologists. A spread eastwards along the south coast was reported by Kerslake4 in September 1953 when Asparagopsis armata was found on Wembury Beach.
