Chlorophycece 



R. botryoides (Schmidle) Lemm., forma quadriseta (Lemm.) Chod. is 

 known from the plankton of Lough Beg, Londonderry, Ireland; diam. of 

 cells 39-6 p. ; length of bristles 2360 p ; fig. 102 B and C. 



Genus Lagerheimia Chodat, 1895. The cells are solitary, 



ellipsoid, or subcylindrical with 

 rounded extremities, and with a 

 firm cell-wall. There are four bristles 

 arranged in diverging pairs at each 

 pole, or disposed one at each pole 

 and two equatorially. Each bristle 

 has a wart-like thickening at its 

 base. There is a single parietal 

 chloroplast with one pyrenoid. The 

 multiplication is by autospores. 



L. subglobosa Lemm. is known from 

 Lough Gartan, Donegal, Ireland (diam. of 

 cells 5-59-4^; length of bristles 10'5 

 13 p.; fig. 103 D and E), and L. gen&vensis 

 Chod. from the south of England (diam. of 

 cells 3 p. ; length of cells 910 p. ; length of 

 bristles up to 16 p. ; fig. 103 A C). 



Genus Chodatella Lemmermann, 

 1898. This genus only differs from 

 the preceding one in the absence of 

 the swellings or wart-like thicken- 

 ings at the base of the bristles. 

 The cells are solitary, ellipsoid, and 

 furnished with four or many elon- 

 gated bristles, which are sometimes 

 radiating and sometimes curved. 

 There may be one or several parietal

chloroplasts, with or without pyre- 

 noids. The genus differs from Oocys- 



tis in the absence of the polar thickenings and the presence of the 



long spine-like bristles. 



Ch. clliata (Lagerh.) Lemm. var. amphitricha (Lagerh.) Chod. [ = Ch. 

 radians (West) Lemm.] occurs in several localities in the British Islands; 

 length of cells 8 18 M ; breadth 4 13'5 p.; length of bristles 12 20 p.; fig. 

 103 H and I. Ch. breviseta West & G. S. West is known from Lough Gartan, 

 Donegal, Ireland; length of cells 12 12-5/*; breadth 8 9-5 /*; length of 

 bristles 11 '5 17 '5 p.; fig. 103 F and G.
