ALGAL VEGETATION OF THE KASUMI ROCK ICE-FREE AREA, PRINCE OLAV COAST, ANTARCTICA
On February 20, 1961, the writer collected algae in the Kasumi Rock ice-free area, which is located around 68°21' S and 42°13' E, on the Prince Olav Coast, Antarctica, and reported already on the diatom flora thereof (FUKUSHIMA, 1962). Since the writer has finished investigation of the alg...
