26 CONSPECTUS OF DIATOMACE.E. 



Professor Smith lias, we think, very rightly placed this genus in 

 the family Cymbelleas, and says he may hereafter consider them as 

 a subgenus at least of Cymbella. They are, in fact, exaggerated 

 Cymbelleae. 



The present paper is a very valuable monograph of the genus 

 Amphora, and every diatomist will look forward with impatience to 

 the future parts of the Conspectus. The author has undertaken a 

 work of considerable labour, and he asks for the sympathy and 

 assistance of all those interested in the study of the Diatomacea?, 

 and we hope that this request will be heartily responded to.
