The Diatomaceæ of Philadelphia and Vicinity
Boyer, Charles S. (Charles Sumner)
Diatoms -- Pennsylvania -- Philadelphia
A very peculiar species which, as Cleve remarks, seems not to be allied to
any other. L. about 35 µ, quite constant in size. It is reported from
Finland, Scotland, Hungary and New Zealand. Dr. Lewis found it in the
Delaware River. It is occasional in the Schuylkill River and the blue clay,
and very abundant on Marchantia and mosses on the wet rocks of the upper
Wissahickon (F. J. Keeley).
Pl. 27, Fig. 17.
LINEOLATÆ CL.
Valve more or less lanceolate; axial area narrow or indistinct; striæ
radiate or parallel, lineate, that is, with the puncta closer than the
striæ.
NAVICULA RADIOSA KUETZ.
Valve lanceolate with sub-rostrate apices; axial area indistinct; central
area small; striæ radiate in the middle, from 6 to 8 in 10 µ, and
convergent at the ends, about 12 in 10 µ. L. 47 µ.
Very common in fresh water.
Pl. 26, Fig. 17; Pl. 40, Fig. 9.
NAVICULA PEREGRINA EHR.
Valve lanceolate, obtuse; axial area narrow; central area large, rounded or
slightly irregular; striæ coarse in the middle, 5 in 10 µ, radiate;
convergent at the ends, 7 or 8 in 10 µ.
Abundant in brackish water. Delaware River.
Pl. 26, Fig. 20.
{95}NAVICULA CYPRINUS (WM. SM.)
Valve lanceolate, slightly gibbous in the middle, sub-cuneate at the ends;
axial area narrow; central area small; striæ radiate in the middle, 10 in
10 µ, with shorter, transverse striæ intermediate; transverse at the
extreme ends. L. 82 µ.
_Navicula digito-radiata_ var. _cyprinus_ (Ehr. ?) Wm. Sm. Whether the form
here figured is Ehrenberg's or not, it is the species known as Pinnularia
cyprinus Ehr. of Wm. Smith.
Common in Shark River, N. J.
Pl. 26, Fig. 21.
NAVICULA REINHARDTII GRUN.
Valve elliptical or elliptical-lanceolate, with broad, rounded ends; axial
area narrow, widened at the ends to the width of the valve; central area
widened transversely to an irregular, quadrate space; striæ coarse, 8 in 10
µ, distinctly lineate, alternately longer and shorter in the middle,
radiate, nearly transverse at the ends. L. 59 µ.
Blue clay. Rare.
Pl. 26, Fig. 22.
NAVICULA LANCEOLATA VAR. ARENARIA (DONK.) CL.
Valve lanceolate; axial area very narrow or indistinct; central area small,
rounded; striæ radiate, 11 in 10 µ in the middle, closer at the ends. L.
47-54 µ.
_Navicula arenaria_ Donk.
Shark River, N. J.
Pl. 26, Fig. 23.
NAVICULA SALINARUM GRUN.
Valve elliptical-lanceolate with produced sub-capitate or rostrate ends;
striæ radiate in the middle, longer and shorter; transverse at the ends,
lineate. L. 32 µ.
Atlantic City, N. J.
Pl. 26, Fig. 24.
NAVICULA VIRIDULA VAR. ROSTELLATA KUETZ.
Valve lanceolate with rostrate ends; axial area very narrow, central area
orbicular; striæ radiate in the middle, about 12 in 10 µ, convergent at the
ends and closer. L. 43 µ.
Common in fresh water.
Pl. 26, Fig. 16.
