Abstract
ON several occasions during the summer of 1960, freshly collected fronds of Enteromorpha intestinalis Link failed to liberate any swarmers (gametes and zoospores) when placed in sea water and illuminated under laboratory conditions. Since this species was found to liberate swarmers in Nature throughout the year at St. Andrews, Fife1, the occurrence of liberation was more closely investigated.
