Of course many regions are much poorer in diatoms than Kiel Bay, while many are richer; in the Arctic and in the Antarctic they may be so abundant at times as to color the water for miles and to give it a slight, but noticeably ''smooth" Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Clark, Austin Hobart, b. 1880.
