Occasionally they communi- cate their odour to the water of reservoirs, and render it unpleasant. It is of importance for Water Companies to see that Charas do not exist in the streams which supply the water for their reservoirs. Order 224.—Alg^, or Hydeophyta, the Seaweed Family. Cellular plants, found both in salt and in fresh water. Fronds com- posed of variously formed, often elongated, cells, which are either simple or branched filaments, continuous or articulated, separate, or combined in different ways (fig. 29), so as to constitute fronds of various kinds (fig. 899). Growth takes place by the division of cells, or by cellular prolongations, in the form of lateral branches. Eepro- ductive organs consist of spores (figs. 467-470, p. 265), which are contained in mother-cells or perispores (•^sf', around, and avo^a, seed),. Kg. 901.
