This form is nearest to Staur. parv. prod, tor in a subcapitata in my 

 D. D. P. 47, Tab. II, fig. 34, but to me it seems nevertheless differing suf- 

 ficiently for placing it as a special variety. 



Stauroneis perexilis sp. nov., Tab. nost. I, fig. 17. 



Long: 20 , lat: 4,5 /<. 



Valva lanceolata, apicibus diaphragmate instructis. Raphe area 

 hyalina angusta, mediam partem valvse versus patescenti, cincta. 

 Structuram ullam valva? perspicere non potni.

Valva lanceolata, margine undulato, in medio leniter inciso. 

 Apicibus apiculatis, diaphragmate distinclo instructis. Raphe area 

 hyalina angusta cincta. Stauro bifisso. Striis radiantibus. 



Skei5ararsandur (S.) St. 



This pretty and characteristic form probably belongs to the group 

 of St. Smithi. It has the median constriction in common with St. Smithi 

 var. incisa: Pant, in Pant. Bel. S., 27, Tab. II, fig. 45, but differs otherwise 

 to such extent, that I do not think it can be classed with this form; nor 

 can it be identical with Schizostauron Karsteni O. M. in Ch. Nyassa, 88, 

 Tab. II, figs. 17 18. It undoubtedly deserves a place as a distinct species.
