In ditches. Fruiting in summer. 



The absence of any measurements, or uniformity in magnification in 

 the figures, renders it very difficult to determine many of Hassall's 

 species with any certainty. From present information we are unable to 

 recognise Z. Grevllleanum as a distinct species. 



Plate XXXIX. Jig. 2. a, sterile cells X 200 ; b, c, conjugating cells 

 with zygospores X -00 ; d, fertile cells of Rhynchonema form with 

 zygospores X 200. 



Spirogyra tenuissixna. Hass. 



Sterile cells with the extremities replicate, 5 to 15 times as 

 long as the diameter. Chlorophyll bands single, making 3 to 6 

 turns of the spiral. 



Spores broader than the sterile cells, elongated ovoid, twice 

 as long as the diameter, membrane even and chestnut colour. 



Sporiferous cells turgid. 



SIZE. Spore '055 (a)--058 (0) x '024 (a)--03 mm. (/3).
