(157 species of marine algae (38 Chlorophyta,
29 Phaeophyta, 85 Rhodophyta, 5 Cyanophyta) have been identified
from the Hourglass cruises of the Marine Research Laboratory,
Florida Board of Conservation. The monthly collections were
made on the continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico between
the entrance to Tampa Bay and Fort Myers at depths of 6 to 73
meters over a period of 28 months and included a variety of
oceanographic data which have served as a basis for certain
ecological observations, especially temperature relationships.
18 of the species appear to be new records for Florida.)
