Abstract: This paper on algae is within the Botany section of the 'Report of the Conference and Excursion held at Galway, July 11th to 17th, 1895' by the Irish Field Club Union. It states that 'seaweeds were collected at Gleninagh, Co. Clare, the low rocky shore affording some good rock pools, the coralline Lithothamnion polymorphum lining some of them. Here was found the common green Codium tomentosum infested by the brown alga Streblonema simplex, hitherto only once recorded for Ireland by one of us; another species, S. fasciculatum, growing on Mesogloea vermiculata, is new to Ireland.' Sporochnus pedunculatus 'was found washed ashore'. The paper finishes with a list of some other interesting finds plus some algae collected on Aranmore (Inishmore), at low water at Killeany Bay (Kilronan) on the east side of the island and some scraps of seaweeds from the west coast of the island.
