The measurements recorded for marine algæ of various groups show that the reaction of the sap is in most cases almost neutral, and in no case is the sap of the pronounced acid character met with in many land plants. This being so it follows that the enzymes concerned in the metabolism of these algæ must be quite different from those which effect corresponding changes in land plants, as may be seen on referring to the optimum pH values for various enzymes quoted in the writer's previous paper on the reaction of plant cells (1922).
