1 have seen but few chains of this large species, which has some 

 relations to C. constrictmn Gran (the two chromatophores) and others . to 

 C. teres Gl. and C. Weissflogii Schiitt (the form of the valves and the 

 awns).

Obs. The undulations of the awns are not well drawn in the 

 figure.

I have found a form which I identify with the C. Vanhenrckii, 

 described by Gran in his excellent paper on the Norwegian species of 

 Chaetoceras. My figures of a part of a chain and of the spores agree

rather well with the description by Gran; the chains are straight, fora- 

 mina lanceolate to narrow-elliptic, hoop about a third part of the cell 

 with constricted sutures; chromatophore one; awns straight, seen from the 

 valve diverging at a right angle ; spores about in the middle of the cells, 

 primary valve arcuate with numerous spines, secundary valve humped 

 with longer spines on the humpe; further both valves possess along the 

 margins a wreath of parallel, straight apiculi.
