Club 106: 43-44. 1979.-In September, 1966, the red alga Bangia atropurpurea (Roth) Ag. was found growing at Hamlin Beach State Park, Hamlin, New York (N. Lat. 430 22'). This is believed to be the first recorded collection from Lake Ontario. Further observations in 1977 extenlded the range of B. atropurpurea to all shores of Lake Ontario. Bangia 's distribution was restricted to a narrow zone of 7 to 15 cm adjacent to the upper limits of the Cladophora zonie of growth.
