Mrs Dickinson, Is it possible to identify the enclosed alga from Japan? Is it Glaeopeltis sp.? There is no hurry for it. F.N. H, owes, Museum IV. 30.11.31. I have put a specific name to one of these, the other I am uncertain about. Evidently the two spp. commonly used in the preparation of gums are G. coliformis and G. tenax. There is an article on the subject in Bull. Imp. Inst. v, ol IV 1906 p. 141. | ||||
