dc.description.abstract	Many of the Goa temples are associated with ponds. In the present communication an attempt is made to study the algal flora of two temple ponds from Ponda taluqua of North Goa. Periodic collections were made at an interval of a month from different selected sampling points. Observations were made on Planktonic, Epiphytic and Epilithic aiage. Altogether 28 genera with 41 species of Chlorophyta and 9 genera with 12 species of Cyanophyta were collected from these localities. Ankistrodesmus, Scenedesmus, Coelastrum, Dictyosphaerium, Netrium and Pediastrum were the dominant green algae whereas Microcystis, Merismopedia, Dactylococcopsis, Oscillatoria and Cylindrospermum were found to be common blue-green algae.
