Notes on some Algæ from a Californian Hot Spring

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

ABSTRACT Some time since Professor Leidy handed me for examination a number of dried Algæ, which he had received from Professor Seidensticker, by whose sister, Mrs. Partz, they had been gathered in the Benton Spring, which is situated in the extreme northern point of Owen’s Valley, California, sixty miles south-west from the town of Aurora. Afterwards a number of similar specimens came to me directly from Mrs. Partz by mail. The subject of life in thermal springs is one of so much general interest, especially in connection with that of spontaneous generation, as to induce me to make a very careful examination of the material and offer the results to the readers of this journal. In this connection the following extract from a letter of Mrs. Partz to her brother is very relevant:
