46 SEAWEEDS OF THE FAROEISLANDS AN ANNOTATED CHECKLIST Fig. 1. Locations ofthe sampling stations at the Faroe Islands, 1994-2000. that includes a number of Faroese algae of which some were described as new species. A summary of the old literature on the ma- rine algae of the Faroe Islands is included by Børgesen (1902), and Irvine (1982). Comprehensive studies of the marine al- gae of the Faroe Islands took place around 1900. Simmons (1897) was the first to pub- lish a general description of the vegetation and listed about 125 species. At the same time Børgesen initiated a study of the ma- rine flora and published a preliminary list of species new to the Faroe Islands (Børge- sen in Børgesen and Hansen, 1896). He collected algae in spring and summer months in the period 1895-1900 and in 1902. In addition he obtained a collection made by H. Jónsson in the autumn and ear- ly winter 1897, and also studied older ma- terial maintained at the Botanical Museum, Copenhagen. A detailed account for 216 species of marine algae was included in ‘The Botany of the Færoes’ (Børgesen, 1902). This was supplemented with a de- scription of the algal vegetation (Børgesen, 1904a; 1905a) commented by Børgesen (1904b; 1905b), Porsild and Simmons (1904) and Simmons (1905). A biogeo- graphical survey of the marine algae of the Arctic Sea and of the northemmost part of the Atlantic was published by Børgesen and Jónsson (1905). The last major investigation of the ma- rine algae in the area took place in the sum- mer 1980. This was the first time collec- tions were obtained by diving. The distrib- ution of sublittoral algae in sheltered fjords and sounds and at open shores were illus- trated and 223 species of bluegreen, red, brown and green algae recorded (Irvine, 1982; Price and Farnham, 1982; Tittley et al., 1982). Studies were also undertaken at selected localities by two students, Rex (1970, unpubl. report) and Holt (1975, un- publ. report) cited by Irvine (1982). Information on marine algae of the Faroe Islands has also been included in a number of monographs e.g. Petersen (1911), Korn- mann (1962b), Hoek (1963), Lokhorst and Trask (1981), PrudTiomme van Reine (1982), and Athanasiadis (1996). This paper lists species of marine benthic macroalgae collected in the years 1994 to
