A. Cleve states that the length of Achnanthidinm maximum is 0.065 mm 

 (an epitheca) and 0.075 mm (a hypotheca) and she says (1. c.) "Though not 

 seen together, the two valves described above, found in the same sample, 

 certainly belong to the same species." 



On an average mj^ specimens are somewhat smaller (Length 48—56/.«, 

 only one specimen measures 60 /г), but otherwise they agree well wàth A. 

 Cleve's figures. 



As I have seen both valves in situ I can affirm that they are corres- 

 ponding valves. 



Cocconeis maxima var. lanceolata var. nova. Tab. nost XIV, 

 fig. 14. 



Long. 74«. Lat. 22 /^. Str., media in valva, 16—17 in \0 ц, apices 

 versus densioribus. 



Valva rhombice-lanceolata, apicibus rotundatis. Epitheca: Area 

 centrali qvadrata magna. Hypotheca: Raphe sigmoidea, area hyalina 

 angustissima, media in parte valvæ in aream parvam subcircularem 

 dilatata, cincta. Striis radiantibus. Nodulis terminalibus, paululum 

 a margine remotis, in spatio laterali nudo situatis. 



Loc. Hvalrosodde. 



As in the figure of Cocc. flex, interm., so also here, I have indicated 

 the extent of the central area of the epitheca as I have only seen both 

 A'alves in situ.
