This appears to me to be a very distinct species. The 

 central cells are not always placed in exact apposition with 

 each other, frequently intervals or triangular interstices are 

 left between them. Ehreriberg has strangely confounded 

 the Pediastrum Boryanum with this species, and on the other 

 hand this species with P. Boryanum^ 



6. Pediastrum angulosum Hass. 



Plate LXXXVI. Fig. 14. 



Char. Fronds constituted of tioo concentric . circles of cells 

 surrounding a single central cell, the first circle being 

 formed usually of five cells and the second of ten. Mar- 

 ginal cells alone incised.

There can be scarcely a doubt of the distinctness of this 

 species. It is figured by Mr. Ralfs as the Micrasterias Bory- 

 ana Ehr., with which species it has no affinity. Mr. Ralfs' 

 figure accords closely with Ehrenberg's of Pediastrum an- 

 gulosum. 



7. Pediastrum constrictum Hass. 

 Plate LXXXVI. Figs. 15, 16. 



Char. Frond large, composed of tvjo or three concentric circles 

 of cells surrounding a single central cell, five cells in the 

 inner circle, ten in second, and fifteen in the outer circle. 

 Marginal cells toothed, teeth constricted.
