344 Transactions.— Botany. 
described by me, in vol. xiv. of the Transactions of the New Zealand Insti- 
tute, as Himantidium maskellü. Mr. Brightwell describes a specimen from 
Melbourne under the name Eunotia eruca.* The leading diatomists of 
England now include Amphicampa and Himantidium under the genus 
Eunotia. Subsequently I found other deposits in the same swamp, and 
note the species found as follows :— 
Eunotia eruca. 
» bidens. 
» undulatum. 
Stauroneis cruciculum. 
B phoenicenteron. 
Pinnularia major. 
Gomphonema constricta. 
viridis. 
Syn siege adians. 
Surirella linearis 
Orthosira dado. 
Epithemia to s 
a N. orth Canterbury. 
On the property of Mr. Alex. Broadfoot, Seaview, at a point on the top 
of the terrace where until lately there was a spring of water, I found a 
considerable deposit, and in the peat swamp below I found the following 
fresh-water species :— 
Stauroneis (Pleurostauron) fulmen. 
unotia eruca. 
triodon. 
Hawkee punctata. 
” 15 var. 
Synedra vulgare 
Pinnularia Maus 
Eunotia (motii bidens. 
$» arcus. 
» undulatum. 
m pectinale. 
Gomphonema constrictum. 
New Brighton, near Christchurch. 
A fresh-water and possibly brackish-water deposit was laid bare by the . 
formation of Paynton’s road through the swamp. I have been able to 
identify the following forms :—
