. Fresh-water biology. Freshwater biology. Forming leathery or slimy gelatinous masses, at first spher- ical or oblong, later of varied form, solid or hollow, and attached or unattached; filaments contorted and curved in all directions; the gelatinous sheath sometimes sharply delimited, more often fused with the enveloping jelly. Cells globular, barrel-shaped, or cyUndrical; heterocysts intercalary, or (when yoimg) sometimes terminal; spores globular or oblong, formed in rows in varying number be- tween the heterocysts. Forming free-floating or attached masses, on damp ground, wet rocks, etc.
