Examples

  • While an algologist is a functionary not generally employed by water companies -- in fact, a man trained in the physiology of algæ is difficult to find -- nevertheless, it is highly important, as the department views it, to have the coöperation of an expert versed to some extent in the biological examination of drinking water.
