A list of marine Algae collected by Mr. R. B. Oliver on the Kermadec Islands in 1908. The Kermadecs are washed by oceanic currents from the north and south-west, the latter being the stronger. This is plainly reflected by the algal flora, which is principally New Zealand. The following is the complete list. The distribution of the species is enclosed in brackets.
