FRESHWATER ALGJE AND DIATOMACE.E. 
I HE Suffolk list of Diatomaceae, including the Freshwater 
<ind Marine species, is almost entirely due to the late Mr. E. 
Skepper, as is given in Henslow and Skepper’s Suffolk Flora, 
i860, but Professor G. S. W r est, F.L.S., has herein revised the 
list and employed modern nomenclature. 
( omparatively few species of Desmids and Freshwater 
Algie have been recorded for the county, and these principally 
by Messrs. Henslow and Skepper in their Flora, who wen- 
doubtless indebted to Dilwyn and Turner’s Botanist’s Guide. 
tli(- Sketch of tht- Natural History of Y armouth, and a few 
other sources. 
A small collection was, however, made in May, 1896, bv 
the late Mr. \\ . West. B.A., when botanizing on Cavenham 
Heath, who met with about twenty species, most of which ar<- 
here recorded. 
For the very interesting remarks by Professor West on 
collecting and preserving Desmids, &c., and on the distribution 
&e., of the species, 1 would refer to the Victoria History of 
Suffolk. 
The following is a list of most of the species known to 
occur, a few of the diatoms are those of brackish water.
