In the present paper the author applied Drouet and Daily'sclassification of the Cyanophyta (published between 1952 and 1981) to all blue-green algae ever collected and reported on and around the Ross Sea islands and coastal Victoria Land, Antarctica. As a consequence, the total number of 353 cyanophytan taxa reported by Prescott in 1979 had to be reduced to 30. Ten of these taxa consist of coccoid blue-green algae and 20 taxa comprise oscillatorioid blue-greens. Our own collections resulting from taxonomical and ecological studies carried out in this part of Antarctica between 1963 and 1967 showed the presence of 12 taxa sensu Drouet and Daily. This number was composed of 3 coccoid, 3 heterocystous oscillatorioid, and 6 non-heterocystous oscillatorioid blue-green algal taxa. (From the Summary).
