Abstract
THE Feulgen reaction has not been used to any great extent in cytological investigations of the larger brown algæ1–4, possibly on account of the difficulty of obtaining consistent results. The following technique has now been applied successfully to growing vegetative apices and to developing receptacles of all the British members of the Fucales, with the exception of Pelvetia canaliculata, on which it has not yet been tried.
