65. P. llexuosa Cl. N. Sp. — V. linear to elliptic-linear, with rounded ends. L. 0,22 to 

 0,27; B. 0,04 to 0,oA» mm. Median line complex. Central nodule large, excentric; terminal fissures 

 comma-shaped. Axial area broad, somewhat less than V3 of the breadth of the valve, not, or very 

 slightly, widened in the middle. Striae 4,5 to 5 in 0,oi mm., slightly divergent in the middle and 

 convergent at the ends, crossed by broad, distinct bands. — PI. I f. 23. 



Fresh water: Canada (Eralton Lake)! United State (Cherryfield, Crane Pond)! 

 This form is nearly akin to P. nohilis, but closely resembles P. Dactylus, from which species 

 it differs principally by> its complex median line.

 tremities. L. 0,18 to 0,26; B. 0,03 mm. Median line strongly complex; terminal fissures comma- 

 shaped. Axial area moderately narrow, less than ^/j of the valve, not widened in the middle. 

 Stria; almost parallel, 5 in 0,oi mm., crossed by a broad and distinct band. — Nav. sp. A. S. Atl.

 slightly radiate, 6,5 in 0,oi mm., interrupted on one or both sides of the central nodule. — ■ Nav.

 rounded ends. L. 0,03 to 0,07; B. 0,oo8. Median line flexuose, axial area narrow, widened around 

 the central nodule to a transverse fascia. Striae parallel 9 to 12 in 0,oi mm. — Stauroptera iso-

Fresh water: Greenland! Iceland! Kara Sea (Grun.), Sweden (Forarm in Asnen, Upsala)! 

 Finland! Puy du Dome (fossil), Colorado (Brun Coll.)! 



Stauroptera isostauron of Ehrenberg is very doubtful and may perhaps denote some forms 

 of Finn, divergens, scarcely the species of Grunow, which is closely related to P. Aestuarii Cl. 

 P. isostauron may perhaps more properly be placed in the group Gracillima. 



68. P. Aestuarii Cl. N. Sp. — V. linear, with parallel margins and rounded ends. L. 0,io 

 to 0,12; B. 0,016 mm. Median line flexuose; terminal fissures semicircular. Axial area moderately
