Algae are an ecologically important range of species because of the dependence of other species on their primary production. Algae fall into four groups, and this text covers the cytology, morphology, physiology, ecology and systematics of each. pt. I. Introduction -- 1. Basic characteristics of the algae -- pt. II. The prokaryotic algae -- 2. Cyanobacteria -- pt. III. Evolution of the chloroplast -- 3. Glaucophyta -- 4. Rhodophyta -- 5. Chlorophyta -- pt. IV.
