 gular ; v. unequal, strictly turgid, one 

 smooth, the other with numerous me- 

 dian spines or little horns branched at 

 the ends (PI. 18. fig. 59).] 



Eabenhorst makes the Angulatse a sub- 

 family of Biddulphiese ; comprising the 

 European genera Triceratium, Trinacria, 

 and Lithodesmium, 



** Friistvles envelojjed in a 7)u/ss of gelatine, 

 or contained in gelatinous tubes, forming 

 a frond. 



Mastogloia. Frond mammillate ; frus- 

 tules like Kaviciila, but hoops with 

 loculi ; freshwater and marine (PI. 51. 

 fig. 26). 



Dickieia. Frond leaf-like ; frustulos like 

 Navicula or Stata-oneis; marine (PI. 19. 

 fig. 16). 



Berkeleya. Frond rounded at base, fila- 

 mentous at circumference ; frustules 

 navicular ; marine (PL 19. fig. 8). 



Homaodadia. Frond sparingly divided, 

 filiform ; frustules like Nitzschia, ma- 

 rine (PL 19. fig. 15). 



Phaphidogloea. Frustules those of Am- 



2->hiplci(ra, tufted in railiating gelatinous 

 filaments (PL 19. lig. 11). 



Colletonema. Frond filamentous, fila- 

 ments not branched ; fr. like Navicula 

 or Pleurosigma ; freshwater. 



Schizonrma. Frond filamentous, branched; 

 fr. like Navicula .; marine ( PL 19. fig. 12). 



Eneyonerna. Frond filamentous, but little 

 branched; fr. Hke Cymhella; fresh- 

 water (PL 19. fig. 10). 



Syncyrlia. Fr. those of Cymhella, united 

 in circular bands, immersed in an 

 amorphous gelatinous frond ; marine 

 (PL 19. fig. 14). 



Frustulia. Fr. those of Navictda, irregu- 

 larly scattered through an amorphous 

 gelatinous mass ; freshwater (PL 19. 



fig- 17). 

 Mtcromeyn. Fr. those of Navicula, ar- 

 ranged in rows, in gelatinous tubes, 

 or surrounded by fibres, these being 

 enclosed in a filiform branched frond ; 

 marine (PL 17. fig. 8). 

 Many other species are noticed and 

 figured in this work under the genera, 

 which have not been described with suffi- 

 cient brevity to allow of their being tabu- 

 lated, or are not well established.
