 viridis Ehr., Die Infus. p. 182. t. xiii. f. 16. t. xxi. 

 fig. 12. Frustulia viridis Jenner, in Fl. of Tunbridge 

 Wells, p. 203. Nav. biceps ? Bory, Encyc. Meth. 1 1824. 



Hob. Frequent in Sussex : Mr. Jenner. Cheshunt : 

 A. H. H. Aberdeen : Dr. Dickie. Ireland : Mr. Moore. 



This is one of the finest and most beautiful of all the 

 DiatomacecB. In young specimens the frustules are not at all 

 or scarcely inflated in the centre. 



86. SURIRELLA Turp. 



Char. Frustules large, solitary, quadrangular; angles pro- 

 duced, striated. 



Derivation. Named in honour of Dr. Suriray. 



This seems to be a well-marked genus. To it should be 

 referred, in addition to the two species described below, 

 Navicula? splendida, N. ? undulata, N. ? constricta, which would 

 stand thus : Surirella splendida, S. constricta, and S. undulata. 

 The two latter species differ from all the others in the trans- 

 verse striaj being in single and not double series, that is, they 

 pass entirely across the frustule. This genus seems to have 

 been indicated by Ehrenberg.

 Plate CIL Fig. 1.
