Synopsis
Excerpt from Dansk Botanisk Arkiv, Vol. 3: Udgivet Af Dansk Botanisk Forening
Thus they occurred abundantly in the Sound between St. Thomas and St. Jan. Strong currents run here in the narrow channel and steadily renew the water. The depth varies from 10 to about 20 fathoms, seldom more. The bottom is suitable for dredging; it consists of smaller and larger stones, pieces of corals etc. Upon these a very rich vegetation of algae is present, mostly consisting of Red Algae. Also north of St. Jan, in the narrow sound between this Island and Tortola, a flourishing algal vegetation is found, including especially many Red Algae.
