Phycologia britannica, or, A History of British sea-weeds, containing coloured figures, generic and specific characters, synonymes, and descriptions of all the species of algae inhabiting the shores of the British Islands . ay that he was well acquainted with thespecies, and had a most acute eye to detect a minute species, anda most accurate judgment to discriminate one varying form fromanother.
