溪頭臺大實驗林大學池中所採集之浮游植物

Phytoplankton collected from the University Pond, in the experimental forest of Taiwan University at Ch'i-t'ou (溪頭)

During the Easter holidays 1955, the writer has a chance to make a field trip to the experimental forest of the University at Ch'i-Tou (溪頭) with the special purpose of collecting and studying the vegetation. At the back near the experimental station there is a small natural water body known as the University Pond (大學池). A slowly flowing water enters from its south eastern mouth and flows away from its south western end. It locates at a hight of 1,200 meters above the sea level, and has a moderate climate all through the year. Even in the coldest month from January to February the frost appears twice or thrice only.
