1. O. BONNEMAISONII Crouan ex Gomont, 1893, p. 235, PI. VI, 

 figs. 17-18; P. B.-A., No. 2055. Forming floating masses in ditch 

 in Pembroke Marsh, Aug., Collins. 



2. O. MINIATA Hauck ex Gomont, 1893, p. 236; P. B.-A., No. 2156. 

 Hungry Bay, April, May, Collins. Forming a deep red film on the 

 bottom, also floating clots adhering to everything. The filaments are 

 usually about 20 /JL diam., but occasionally as high as 45 /z. The plant 

 decays very quickly, and even when put on paper with a promptness 

 ample for most Oscillatorias, the coloring matter stains the paper pur- 

 ple, and the filaments remain nearly colorless.

 fig. 19. In brackish pool with other algae, April, Sept., Collins.
