Description Very little investigation has been made of the plant life of Great Salt Lake, either of a scientific nature or otherwise. So far as the author of this paper knows, but one attempt has been made in the past to scientifically classify the flora of the lake, and that attempt was interrupted before it had reached a successful conclusion, so that no publication of the work was made. The original purpose of this paper was to determine, if possible, the effect as to size o:f cells and rapidity of growth of different densities of Great Salt Lake water on a species of Chlamydomonas which is found there. The problem, then, was to have been purely a physiological one. During the course of investigations along this line, however, other interesting things presented them- selves, and a deviation was made from the first plan, so that finally observations were extended to include every species of plant found in the part of the lake investigated.
