426 DIATOMACE^. 



Derivation. From kokkos, a grain, and vqfia, a thread. 

 The frustules in this genus may be compared to a grain of 

 wheat in form. 



1. COCCONEMA LANCEOLATUM Ehr. 



Plate CI. Fig. 1. 



Char. Frustules large, semi-lanceolate, straight, obtuse. 



Gomphonema lanceolatum Agardh, Conspect. Crit. Diatom.

 Kiitz., in Linntea, 1833, p. 38. ; Jenner, in Flora of 

 Tunbvidge Wells. Cocconema lanceolatum Ehr., Die 

 Infus. p. 224. pL xix. fig. 6. 



Hah. Waterfall at Hill Park, Westerham, and at Shore- 

 ham, Kent ; Parham, near Pulborough, &c. : Mr. Jenner.

 acute.

 Hah. New River reservoir, Cheshunt : A.H.H. 



This species might readily be confounded with the previous 

 one, from which it is to be distinguished by its smaller, nar- 

 rower, more attenuated and somewhat curved frustules. 



3. Cocconema cistula Ehr. 



Plate CI. Fig. 3. 



Char. Frustules crcscentic, ventricose, obtuse, often in pairs.
