When growing, it has very much the appearance, at first sight,of C. rectangularis, so much so, indeed, that until the ramifica-tion be closely looked to, and the alternate or secund ramuli beobserved, it might be mistaken for that species. It grows in thesame locality, and occurs in similar loosely-bundled masses, andoften accompanies C. rectangularis in the same dredge. Itpossesses the same rigid substance as that species, and the sameglossy, bright green colour, except when it is, as most of myspecimens are, infected with Cocconeis aggregata, which asDr. Kiitzing remarks, not only change its colour, but prevent itsadhering to paper. * Algae Hibernicae, by William McCalla, Associate of the Edinburgh Bo-tanical Society.
