TARAR í FØROYSKUM ØKI 47 2000 and identified as part of the BIOFAR project. It also includes comments on other species recorded for the Faroe Islands since 1897. The line drawings of seaweeds ac- companying the paper are original illustra- tions of Faroese algae prepared by Astrid Andreasen. Material and methods The BIOFAR collections of macroalgae were made at 265 stations between July 1994 and August 2000. Detailed informa- tion about date of sampling, location, depth, and substrate for the individual sta- tions is presented by Sørensen et al. (2001), their locations are indicated in Fig. 1 and Table 1. Most collections were made by the authors during 10 visits to the Faroe Is- lands, others were made by staff at the Kaldbak Marine Biological Laboratory. Algae were collected selectively by hand at low tide in the littoral zone and by Scu- ba-diving at sublittoral levels to 30 m depth. Divers collected algae into hand- nets with a 0.5 mm mesh size. A few sam- ples were obtained by dredging between 15 and 35 m. Collections were made in all sea- sons but less frequently during winter. An effort was made to include collections from a wide range of habitats. When possible the samples were placed in running sea water in the laboratory and dealt with while fresh. If the collecting stations were distant from the laboratory or the time too short, the samples were fixed in 2% formalin-seawa- ter. Macroscopic algae were prepared as herbarium specimens; when required mate- rial was also mounted in KARO® (com symp) as permanent microscope slides. Voucher specimens have been deposited in the Botanical Museum Copenhagen and duplicate collections at the Faroese Muse- um of Natural History, Tórshavn and the Marine Research Institute, Reykjavik, Ice- land. Results The present list includes species of Cyanophyceae (Nostocophyceae), Rhodo- phyceae (Bangiophyceae), Phaeophyceae (Fucophyceae), Xantophyceae (Tribo- phyceae) and Chlorophyceae. The use of class-names follows Silva et al. (1996). Names not in current use but applied by Simmons (1897) and in later publications about marine algae from the Faroe Islands are given. Author names are abbreviated according to Brummit and Powell (1992). For each entry there is at least one refer- ence to a good description or illustration. The BIOFAR stations where the species were collected are listed, and depth distrib- ution, month of collection and observations of reproductive structures are noted. In the list of excluded species are early records of species based on misidentifica- tions, uncertain records require confirma- tion, and species known to be no longer present. The list includes the following symbols: *: new or previously unpublished records for the Faroe Islands ():collection from a wide depth range. Depth distribution: only handpicked mater- ial included.
