NITZSCHIA DUBIA WM. SM.

Valve linear, scarcely, if at all, constricted in the middle, with cuneate, produced, apiculate apices, somewhat recurved; keel very excentric; puncta sometimes partly prolonged, about 9 in 10 µ; striæ, 20-24 in 10 µ. L. 93 µ.

Reported from along the New Jersey coast. I have not seen it. It is generally regarded as fresh-water. Slides sometimes labelled N. dubia are in reality N. litoralis var. delawarensis.
