✦ Synopsis

Forty-one descriptions of members of the genus Chlorella have been analysed by the technique of continuous classification. This preliminary report, though general, indicates the first instance of the application of numerical principles to the algae and furthermore stresses the utility of the I~ypka technique in the manual operation of limited materials. By the use of this technique the forty-one isolates have been grouped into 10 clusters.
