The first scientific record on the marine vegetation along the coast of the Island of Saghalien is found in the description by Milet-Mureau in the report on the expedition under the French Commander La Perouse in 1787 (d. Ruprecht, 1851, p. 204). In his description, special attention was paid to the marine plants in connection with the solution of the interesting and important problem, whether Saghalien is an i<;land or a peninsula. It is mentioned that, if Saghalien be an island, the marine area laying between the mouth of the Amur and de-Castri Bay is so shallow that the bottom covered by sea-grasses is readily exposed to the air in ebb-tide, and only while the tide is high one can row a small boat pushing its way through or over the heavy bush of the sea-grasses. It is al<;o mentioned that a rich vegetation of various kinds of seaweeds is found in this arm of the sea. Bory de St. Vincent (1828) gives brief notes about the marine vegetation of the western coast of Saghalien on the basis of the materials and specimens brought back by the expedition under La Perouse, which he had the opportunity to examine, and also notes about that of the eastern coast on the basis of the report of the expedition under the Russian Commander Krusenstern in 1805. In his notes, which are cited by Ruprecht (1851, p. 204), nothing is said about individual species. Krusenstern, Captain of the Nadeshda, arrived at Nagasaki on October 9, 1804. On his return way from Nagasaki to Kamtschatka, he pas<;ed the Strait of La Perouse (Soya) from west to east on April 3, 1805, sailed the Nadeshda into Aniwa Bay and landed at Otomari. Next day he weighed anchor and went round the Cape of Nakashiretoko northward, landing on his way at Airup (Airo) and on the coast of Pati('mce Bay (Taraika-Wan). Continuing his voyage northward along the eastern coa<;t of the island, he arrived at last at Petropavlovsk on April 26. Tilesius and Horner, who had joined this expedition as scientists, made collections of seaweeds at those landing spots in Saghalien. Their specimens from •S aghalien were classified and published together with those from other localities by Turner (1809), C. Agardh (1812, 1822), Postels & Ruprecht (1840) and Ruprecht (1851). The following seven <;pecies and one variety were the whole of the marine algae which had been known from Saghalien up to the time of Ruprecht: 1. Tichocarpus crinitus (Gmelin) Ruprecht (Syn. Fucus crinitus Gmel.). Accord ing to Ruprecht (1851, p. 320), "Ein Exemplar von Tilesius (dem ReisegeHihrten Horners) in Stephan's Herbarium ist mit "Sachalin" bezeichnet und dieser Ort ist - 1 - Mem. Fac. Fish., Hokkaido Univ. [II, 1 in Agardh's Algen-Decaden fUr dieselbe Pflanze von Tilesius aufgeflirt, .... " 2. Fucus evanescens Ag. As to the habitat of his species, Agardh (1820, p. 920) writes: "Ad Sachalien, THesius: ad Kamtschatka, Chamisso." 3. Chondrus platynus (Ag.) J. Ag. Under the name Halymenia platyna Ag., Agardh (1822, p. 206) states: "Ad insulam Sachalien invenit Tilesius, qui specimen misit." It is also stated by Ruprecht (1851, p. 310';) that, "Als Halymenia platyna Ag. sind in Mertens' Herb. X, 289 drei Exemplare aufbewahrt ; eines scheint aus derselben QueUe (Tilesius) abzustammen; die zwei anderen von Horner aus Kamtschatka (ob nicht auch aus Sachalin?) sind als Fucus cariolosus Mert. bezeichnet, .... " 4. Odonthalia corymbifera (Gmel.) J. Ag. Ruprecht (1851, p. 412) states: "In Mertens' Herbarium (XV, 426, B) fand ich spater zwei Rasen der Atomaria corymbi fera Gmel. mit beiderlei Frlichten unter dem Namen Fucus calamistratus Wormsk. aus Kamtschatka (also Awatschabai) von Horner mitgebracht .... Ich vermuthc, daB diese Excmplare, so wie jene von Tichocarpus, aus Sachalin stammen." 5. Alaria fistulosa Post. et Rupr. Postels & Ruprecht (1840, p. 11) state: "Secundum observationes Tilcsii quoque obvenit ad Kamtschatka prope candelabrum marinum (majak) et in sinu cancrorum (rakowaja buchta), item juxta insulas Kuriles ad Sachalin usque." 6. CystophyUum geminatum (Ag.) J. Ag. Ruprecht (1851, p. 347) states: "die in Mertens' Herbarium V, 124 (Fucus Lepidium Mert.) mit deT Bezeichnung 'e mari glacia]i' und 'Insul. Kuril.' sich vorfindenden Exemplare, scheinen von Krusenstern's Reise und eher aus Sachalin abzustammen." 7. Halosaccion saccatum Klitz. Under the name Dumontia hydrophora Post. et Rupr., Postels & Ruprecht (1840, p. 19) state: "Ad Kamtschatka vulgaris in conchis et saxis; etiam ad insulam Sachalin sec. 1 ilesius .. , 7a. Halosaccion glandiforme vaT. crassum Rupr. As to the habitat of his variety, Ruprecht (1851, p. 292) writes: "M. Ochot. Kamtsch. orient.-Sachalin ?" In 1889, J. G. Agardh reported the following three species of Sargassum which are said to have been collected by Navarcha Fenger in Saghalien Island near the mouth of the Amur : 8. Sargassum patens Ag. J. Agardh (1889, p. 56) states: "In mari Japonico; ad insulam Sachalin extra ostia Amuris : Navarcha Fenger." 9. Sargassum Horneri Ag. Under the names Sargassum spathulatum J. Ag. and Sargassum Fengeri J. Ag., J. Agardh (1889, p. 58 & 59) states respectively: "Corea, Insula Sachalin, Japonia", and "ad insulam Sachalin extra ostia Amuris legit Navarcha Fenger." to. Sargassum Ringg()ldianum Harv. Under the name Sargassum Coreanum J. Ag., J. Agardh (1889, p. 58-59) states: "ad oras Coreae (Herb. Crouan) ad ostis Amuris Navarcha Fenger." Of these ten species, which seem to have been the whole of the marine algal -2- 1954J Tokida: Marine Algae of S. Saghalien species known from Saghalien at the end of the nineteenth century, Sargassum patens and s. Ringgoldianum are warm-temperate species, being distributed along the Japan Sea coast of Honshu as far north as Provo Mutsu and Ugo respectively. The latter is known to be distributed also in the Pacific side as far north as Provo Kushiro, Hokkaido, the former has not yet been reported from Hokkaido. As compared with them, Sargassum Horneri seems to be more adaptable to colder waters and is fairly common in Hokkaido ; but it is not represented in the collections of Saghalien algae in the writer's hand. The specimens of these three species of Sargassum collected by Fenger near the mouth of the Amur must have been floating detached ones, conveyed then' by currents far from thpir growing grounds in certain southern localities. Excepting them, the remaining seven species are considered to be colder temperate or subarctic species and are more or less widely spread in southern Saghalien. It was in the year 1906 that a botanizing expedition covering nearly the whole coast of southern Saghalien was undertaken in summer by the late Dr. K. Miyabe, as one of those who were then on the special scientific staff of the Saghalien Civil Government. So far as the algal collection is concerned, this may be said to be the first extensive one made in the southern half of the island of Saghalien. The stations explored were about thirty six in total number, of which twelve are on the western coast from Pilevo, situated a little north of 50 ON. L., to Cape Nishinotoro, eight on the coast of Aniwa Bay, from Chishiya to the western side of Cape Nakashiretoko, and the remaining fourteen on the eastern coast from Airo to Kitafunakoshi (Sorenuiya) in Kitashiretoko Peninsula. In the same year, a considerable number of interesting specimens of seaweeds were collected by four other persons: by Mr. Tsutome Miyake, the co-worker of Dr. Miyabe, at the island of Kaiba-to and several other localities on the eastern coast of Saghalien, by Mr. Ryu Nakamura at the Danger Reef or "La Dangereuse" as called by La Perouse or Nijo-iwa in Japanese in the Strait of La Perouse or Soya and other stations, by Mr. Rainosuke Kubo at Robben Island (Kaihyo to), and by Mr. Idzumiyama at Otomari and elsewhere. Nearly all the specimens collected by these gentlemen have been deposited in the Herbarium of the Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University. A preliminary report on the important land plants and seaweeds collected in the expedition of southern Saghalien in 1906 was published in 1907 by Dr. Miyabe and his collaborator Mr. Miyake. Excepting some economic seaweeds, most of the specimens of marine algae were left untouched for a future study. A certain number of the species of the collection which belong to the Ord. Fucales and the genus Alaria were afterwards studied and published by Dr. K. Yendo in his excellent monographs in 1907 and in 1919 respectively. In 1926, these valuable speciemns of the Saghalien algae were placed in the writer's hand by Prof. Miyabe to be worked up for preparing his graduation thesis. Since that year, the writer has been engaged continually in the investigation of the marine algae of southern Saghalien under the guidance of Prof. Emer. Miyabe. He undertook botanizing excursions ten -3 Mem. Fac. Fish., Hokkaido Univ. [II, 1 times in all from 1926 to 1943, namely, in April of 1937, in July of the years 1931 and 1941, in July-August ofthe years 1926, 1930,1932 and 1935, in August-September of the years 1927 and 1929, and in September-October of 1943. Materials were also added through the kindness of the members of the staff of the Fisheries Department of the then Saghalien Government, especially of Mr. Yoshika Saito, and also of those in the Fisheries Department of the then Saghalien Central Experimental Station, especially of Mr. Shiro Ishii, ex-Director of the Department. The late Prof. Risuke Kanno and Mr. Hikoei Ohmi of the then Hakodatc College of Fisheries, Mr. Shosuke Matsubara of the then Karafuto Kanten Company, Mr. Tadao Morimoto and Mr. Masao Nakashima who were in Saghalien in those days - these various persons also placed their valuable collections from various localities in Saghalien at the writer's disposal. The results of the writer's study on these materials have previously been reported in part either fragmentally in his "Phycological Observations, I-V" (1934-42) and other papers, or in short articles such as "The Marine Algae from Robben Island" (1932 and a supplementary report in 1934) and "List of the Marine Algae of Tobuchi Lake, Saghalien" (1941). In the present contribution the writer proposes to enumerate all the species belonging to the classes of Phaeophyceae and Rhodophyceae, and also most of the Chlorophyceae, which are determined to occur on the coast of the southern half of the Island of Saghalien south of the line of north latitude 50° including both the Island of Kaiba-to and the Islet of Kaihyo-to. All the other species except only one belonging to the Cyanophyceae are left undetermined at present for some future study. The species of these four classes treated in this paper number 182 in all, of which 28 belong to Chlorophyceae, 66 to Phaeophyceae, 87 to Rhodophyceae, and 1 to Cyanophyceae. Acknowledgement. The writer is very pleased to express his heartiest thanks at this opportunity to the late Prof. Emer. Kingo Miyabe, under whose guidance the present work was carried on; Prof. Miyabe kindly placed in the writer's hand all the specimens he gathered in many years, and gave permission to use his library freely, and moreover he kindly read the manuscript of the present work.

The southernmost point is at Cape Nishinotoro, the north ernmost at Cape Elizavetui, the ----> Warm current ColA current westernmost at Cape Lyak near ==(> the narrowest portion of the SLImmer Mamiya Strait, and the eastern most at Cape Kitashiretoko. The westernmost point in the southern half of the Island below SooN. lat. is at Cape Kenushi, 141°48'50"E. long. The Island of Kaiba-to lies between 141°13' and 141 °16'E. long. and the Krilion Danger Reef or Nijo-Iwa(or Nijo-Gan) in Soya Strait at 45°47'40·N. lat. Southern Saghalien is un der the influence of three ocean currents, namely the Tsushima Warm Current, and the Liman and the Karafuto Cold Curren ts (d. Fig. 2, A & B). The distal reaches of the Tsushima Current wash in summer the shore of Kaiba-to, the western coast from Muitomari north ward up to beyond the 50th degree's boundary, the shore of Aniwa Bay and the eastern coast as far north as Taraika Fig. 2.

On the other hand, the -s- 1954J Tokida: Marine Algae of S. Saghalien cold currents prevail of course along the whole coast in winter, while they become deep undercurrents in summer, being replaced by the warm current in surface layers. The deep cold under-currents appear to dash at coastal banks near the promontories of Cape Ushiro, Cape Nishinotoro and Cape Minabetsu, and upwelling cold water patches have been observed at these points. According to the observations of the Fishery Bureau of the Saghalien Government in July 1906 (Wada, 1907), the surface temperature of the sea-water near Cape Ushiro and Cape Minabetsu was 10°C. and 8-IO°C. respectively, while it was 16°C. near Maoka and 16--18°C. in Taraika Bay. However, a special datum has not been known yet to prove the influence of the low temperature on the marine vegetation at these two capes, where the writer has had no chance to explore. On the other hand, the lowness of the surface tem perature of the upwelling water patches in the vicinity of Cape Nishinotoro and the Krilion Danger Reef is more remarkable; it is said to be 6--80C. in midsummer (Wada, 1907, p. 14) or 3.8--6°C. in August (Matsudaira & Yasui, 1935, p. 498). This Krilion Cold Water Patch was first described by Makarov (1894), and has lately been fully explained by Matsudaira & Yasui (1935). Dr. Miyabe informed the writer that he had once witnessed during his tour around the coast of Saghalien in 1906, violent upwell ings of the cold water from the lower layers off the south coast of Cape Nishinotoro, which must have orinigated from the under-current in the Japan Sea flowing toward the east. According to Matsudaira & Yasui (1935), the upwelling water (temperature 3.8--6°C., salinity 33.5% at 0 m.) between Cape Nishinotoro and the Nijo- Table II.
