878 ajjGM from central Africa. Alg. iii. 246. Crass, cell, veget. 108-125 /a ; long, zygosp. 141- 154 fx, lat. zygosp. 100-111 [m. Mwangadan Eiver, S. of Fuladoga. 7. S. TERNATA Ripaitl in Bull. But. Nat. Fr. torn, xxiii. 1876, 162 ; Petit, Spirog. Emir. Paris, 26, t. viii. figs. 4-7.

The diameter of the filaments and the dimensions of the zygo- spores are a trifle small for this species, and come near those of S. neglecta (Hass.) Kiitz., but as nearly all the fructiferous cells are abbreviated and fairly inflated, it evidently belongs to S. ternata. The latter species seems to have been separated only on account of its more inflated and abbreviated fructiferous cells. 8. S. DUBiA Klitz. Tab. Phyc. v. t. 24 ; Rabh. Fl. Europ.

This may be compared with Cosmarium alatum Kirchn. {Alg. Schles. 153) and its var. gostyniense Racib. {Nonn. Desm. Polon. 17, tab. xi. fig. 17), from which it differs in being twice as large, in having fewer and larger granules, and in its different apex.
