Abstract
One of the major problems in this branch of algal ecology appears to be the establishment of a successful classification upon which field studies can be based. Up to 1931 the outline given by West in 1916 was in current use, but since then a scheme proposed by Fritsch (1931) has more or less taken its place. It would seem, however, that neither scheme alone is wholly satisfactory, but that a combination of the two provides a very suitable basis for workers in this field. An outline of such a combination of the two schemes is briefly described below.
