%X Investigations of the biological factors involved in the fouling, by organisms, of objects immersed in sea-water have been commenced. It has been shown that algal spores, diatoms, and to a smaller extent, bacteria are concerned in initiating primary organic film formation on glass slides immersed in the sea at stations on the coast of New South Wales near Sydney.
