Abstract
IN recent years, the earlier acetocarmine technique of Belling has been modified by Godward1 and also Cave and Pocock2 for use in staining the nuclei of various Conjugates and Volvocales respectively. So far as is known, the technique has not been applied previously to the Rhodophyceae, and at the suggestion of Dr. K. M. Drew, therefore, an attempt has been made to stain some members of this group by this method.
