R Ml, White, Green Seas.
The colors of pure ocean water and
the varying shades observed where Im
purities are met with are diversified
by the coloring effects of the enormous
multitudes of various forms of organ
ized life which sometimes mask the
natural color of the surface of the sea
and tinge extensive areas with remark
able colors. Red appears to be most
frequently met with. In the southern
parts of the Red sea and in the Ara
bian gulf large areas are colored blood
red by microscopic animalcule, and In
the Indian ocean similar forms of life
cause. In addition to red, milk white
or yellow spots of great extent, the
appearance of which Is frequently
alarming to the ignorant sailor. Ofl
the Guiiiea coast ships sometimes ap
pear to float in milk. Extensive red
streaks are also knowu to occur In the
south Atlautic and south Pacific, which
are caused by hosts of small red Crus
tacea. The "Vermilion sea" of Cali
fornia owes its brilliant color to in
fusoria. Areas colored green have been
noted, especially- in the arctic regions,
which are due to myriads of diatoms,
and in some portions of the antarctic
seas diatoms of rusty color make the
water a dirty brown.
