A few filaments most probably belonging to this species were 

 found in a small lake.

The filaments were a little thicker than the measurements given 

 by Bornet et Flahault, 1. c, namely 10 — 14 /y. But after having 

 examined specimens referred by Bornet et Flahault to this species, 

 e. g. No. 184 in Wittrock & Nordstedt, Algæ Exsicc, I have also 

 here found filaments reaching this thickness and I have therefore 

 no doubt as to the correctness of the determination. 



Found in small lakes.

This species seems to be common. It is found partly in the 

 form of a large gelatinous membrane, partly also as more crumpled 

 masses. 



It occured in bogs and also in places laid dry.

Young small colonies of Nostoc were found in several collections. 

 They were e.g. common as blackish crusts, composed of fragments 

 of Algæ and Musci etc. on ground near the foot of a glacier at 

 "Thermometerfjeld" and on damp ground at "Yderbugten".
