(OrigiDaL) X600. 16 (13) Cells deeply constricted in the middle 17 X7 (18) Cell-halves acutely pointed or oval; upper and lower surface of each end furnished with a spine which meets a similar one on the adjoining cell; end view fusiform. . Narrow spines frequently present. In each cell-half a single axial chromatophore, composed of radiating plates about a central pyrenoid. Onychonema occurs in swamps and ponds but is not of very fre- quent occurrence in America. Fig. 113. Onyc/wnewa ioCTfi Nordstedt. X 600.

Cells 22 to 33/i broad and about half as long, end view elliptical; membrane smooth or with tiny warts near the ends of the cells. Sphaerozosma is distinguished from Spondylosium by the cells being united by tubercles instead of by their apices directly. 5. pulchrum var. inftatum Wolle is reported by Wolle as occur- ring in such quantities as to color the water green.
