Two fine publications by the Norwegian algologist Michael Heggelund Fosley (1855-1909) on the little-known and poorly understood calcarous algae. The supplement deals with species from California and the Magellanean faunal province. Must be rare as we never had a copy. Slight rubbing to the boards, otherwise very good.
