Those which are found in brackish water are sometimes classed under freshwater algas and sometimes under marine algas. Unfortunately the classification and nomenclature adopted in different works vary considerably, and whilst it is necessary to keep as nearly as possible up to date so far as general classification is concerned, yet the identification of species by their synonymy is of considerable importance when consulting old records. On this account the general classification here adopted is chiefly that of Engler and Prantl, Die Nat- urlichen Pjlanzen-familien, and for the specific names, De Toni's Sylloge Algarum, and for the Cyanophycese, Bornet and Flahault's Nostocacees Heterocystees and Gomont's Monographic des Oscillariees. In these works the synonymy is excellent, and there is no difficulty in tracing out the species in old records by means of the references therein given.
