90. N. (Alloioneis) Monodon Brun (1891). — V. very convex, narrow, rhombic-lanceolate, 

 subacute. L. 0,ofi to 0,09; B. O.oii mm. Central nodule strong, elevated with a pore in the 

 middle. Terminal nodules distant. Axial area asymmetrical narrow, slightly dilated around the 

 central nodule. Strite 6 to 8 in (),oi mm. crossed by undulating, narrow, longitudinal areas. V. 

 in zonal view broad, slightly constricted in the middle, with obliquely truncate ends. Central 

 nodule forming a conical projection, perforated by a tube. Striae composed of elongated puncta.

This is one of the most remarkable naviculoid diatoms, diverging from all other known 

 forms by its central nodule, forming a conical, perforated projection on the outside of the valve. 



91. N. distaiis W. Sm. (1853). — V. lanceolate, gradually tapering from the middle to the 

 obtuse ends. L. 0,o9 to 0,i3; B. 0,oi7 to 0,o2 mm. Axial area gradually dilated towards the 

 middle, where it expands to a large, rounded quadrate space. Striai 5 to 6 in 0,oi mm., radiate 

 throughout, strongly lineate; lineolffi 21 in 0,oi mm. — Finn, distans W. Sm. B. D. I p. 56

 N. distans seems to belong to the Arctic Sea and Northern Atlantic. I have not seen 

 typical specimens from other seas. 



92. N. subtilata Grun. (1880). — V. lanceolate, obtuse. L. 0,08; B. 0,o2 mm. Median line 

 with approximate central pores and distant terminal nodules. Axial area linear distinct. Central 

 area large, somewhat transverse. StriiE 6 in 0,oi mm. radiate throughout, transversely lineate; 

 lineolai 22 in 0,oi mm. The strite in the middle do not reach the margin, so that the valve 

 seems there to be bordered by a hyaline rim. — A. D. p. 38. Icon. u. PI. I f. 32.

An original sketch by Grunow agrees perfectly with the specimen in Van Heurck Collec- 

 tion, which has distinctly lineate strise. According to Grunow they are smooth. 



93. N. salv.a A. S. (1876). — V. elliptic-lanceolate, sometimes with slightly triundulated 

 margins and subrostrate ends. L. 0,o38 to 0,o6; B. 0,02 to 0,022 mm. Median pores approximate; 

 terminal nodules distant. Axial area narrow, linear. Central area large, qxtadrate. Strife 8 in 

 0,01 mm. radiate throughout. — Atl. XL VI f. 23.

94. N. opiina Grun. (1867). — V. elliptic-lanceolate, with rounded, obtuse ends. L. 0,o6 

 to 0,11; B. 0,017 to 0,025 mm. Central pores approximate; terminal fissures almost straight, 

 large, at some distance from the ends of the valve. Axial area broad, linear. Central area large, 

 orbicular. Strise 6 to 8 in 0,oi mm., more distant in the middle; strongly radiate throughout, 

 lineate; lineolfe 24 in 0,oi mm. — N. fortis var.? opinia Grun. Novara p. 100 PI. 1 A f. 13. N.
