24. A. capensis A. S. (1875). — Frustule elliptical with broad, rostrate ends. L. O.oe; 

 B. 0,03 mm. Zone with distant longitudinal rows of puncta. V. with arcuate dorsal, and centrally 

 gibbous ventral, margins. Ends rostrate and reflexed. B. 0,0 7 mm. Median line near the ventral 

 margin. Axial area very narrow. Central nodule incrassate on the dorsal side. Striae 10 in 0,oi 

 mm. coarsely punctate. — Atl. XXV f. 49, 50. 



Marine: Cape of Good Hope (Atl.). 



I have not seen this species, and the diagnosis has been constructed from the figures in 

 the Atlas. It seems to be akin to A. Janischii. 



25. A. Janischii A. S. (1875). — Frustule broad, elliptic-linear, with rostrate and broadly 

 truncate ends, indented in the middle. L. 0,08; B. O.oav mm. Zone with about 3 divisions in 0,o i 

 mm. coarsely striate; strise about 10 in 0,oi mm. V. with arcuate dorsal, straight or centrally 

 gibbous ventral, margins and rostrate, reflexed ends. Median line near the ventral margin. Central 

 nodale incrassate but not dilated into a stauros. Above the nodule is an oblong depression. Axial 

 area narrow, dilated around the central nodule. Longitudinal line distinct. Striae 11 in 0,oi mm. 

 of distant but obscure puncta. Ventral side narrow; striae 12 in 0,oi mm. — Atl. XXV f. 51, 52,

26. A. alata Pbeag. (1881). — Frustule rectangular, indented in the middle. L. 0,06 to 

 0,07; B. 0,04 mm. Zone with numerous divisions, about 4 in 0,oi mm., transversely striate; 

 striae 10 to 11 in 0,oi mm. Hyaline limbus distinct in the middle of frustule. Valve narrow, 

 with capitate, inflected ends. Median line close to the ventral margin. Axial area distinct. 

 Central nodule not dilated to a stauros. Longitudinal line distinct. Striae 9 to 10 in 0,oi mm., 

 finely punctate. Ventral side structureless, with a longitudinal line. — D. de Villefranche p. 41
