The Ccelastrese mostly occur in bogs and at the margins of pools and lakes, althoughsome species of Ccelastrum are more particularly confined to the freshwater plankton. The genera are : Ccelastrum Nageli, 1849 [inclus. Hariotina Dangeard, 1889]; SorastrumKiitzing, 1845 [inclus. Sdenospheerium Cohn, 1879]; Burkillia W. & G. S. West, Fig. 134.

Family Chsetopeltidacese. The Alga? included in this family are distinguished from all other membersof the Tetrasporinese by the setas or bristles which are attached to the plants are unicellular, or aggregates of cells, sometimes forming flatpseudo-parenchymatous expansions. For the most part they are attached,the cells showing a marked dorsiventrality. In Glifetopeltis (fig. 135), an Alga which lives attached to various aquaticmacrophytes, the thallus is flat and similar to that found in the Ulvacea?except for its small size, and the fact that it is attached by the whole of onesurface. A study of the development of this thallus
