Based on published records of earlier collections, a list of marine algae was compiled totaling 178 species: Chlorophyta-15 genera, 29 species, Phaeophyta-19 genera, 34 species, Rhodophyta-76 genera, 112 species, Cyanophyta-2 genera, 3 species. The history of marine algal collections in Libya is discussed briefly. Oceanographic Expedition (1908-1910 were identified and published by Lemoine (1915) and Petersen (1918). Muschler (1910) and Pampanini (1931) compiled lists of marine algae from Tripolitania and Cyrenaica.
Fragmentary algal collections dredged by a DanishPresently, extensive collections are being made along the coast in preparation for the publication of a complete marine algal flora of Libya. It was thought necessary to have a correct nomenclatural and taxonomic list of the species thus far reported by previous workers. It

Menez, Ernani G., Ronald C. Phillips, and Hilconida P. Calumpong. Seagrasses from the Philippines. Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences, number 21, 40 pages, 26 figures, 1983.-Seagrasses were collected from various islands in the Philippines during 1978-1982. A total of 12 species in seven genera are recorded. Generic and specific keys, based on vegetative characters, are provided for easier differentiation of the seagrasses. General discussions of seagrass biology, ecology, collection and preservation are presented. Local and world distribution of Philippine seagrasses are also included. OFFICIAL PUBLICATION DATE is handstamped in a limited number of initial copies and is recorded in the Institution's annual report, Smithsonian Year.
