Book excerpt: Excerpt from Marine Botany and Sea-Side Objects: Embracing Every Feature of Interest Connected With This Delightful Sea-Side Recreation; And Illustrated With Many Charming Specimens In Harvey's Manual (from which we have already quoted), we are informed that the Algae, growing in the depths of the great Pacific Ocean, have stems which exceed in length (though not in diameter) the trunk of the tallest forest trees and others have leaves that rival in expansion those of the palm. Some are simple globules and spheres, con sisting of a single cellule, a little bag of tissue filled with colouring matter; some are mere strings of such cellules, cohering by the ends; others, a little more perfect, exhibit the appearance of branched threads; in others, again, the branches and threads are compound, consisting of several such threads joined together; and in others the tissue expands into broad fiat fronds (leaves).
