[BK] Only two species are known, L. crystallinus (Pallas) from Europe and N. America, with oval statoblasts that are produced and pointed at the two ends, and L. jheringi, Meissner from Brazil, with irregularly polygonal or nearly circular statoblasts.

[BM] Prof. W. West will shortly describe this alga, which represents a new species, in the Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, under the name Tolypothrix lophopodellophila.—April 1911.

[BN] It is now perhaps open to doubt whether the investment is actually secreted by the polyzoon, for Prof. W. West has discovered in it the cells of an alga belonging to a genus which habitually secretes a gelatinous investment of its own (see p. 238, post.).—April 1911.

[BO] Professor W. West identifies this algæ as Dactylococcopsis pectinatellophila, new species. It will be described, before the publication of this book, in the Journ. As. Soc. Bengal (1911). Prof. West has found, associated more or less fortuitously with P. burmanica, another alga, namely Microcystis orissica, also a new species.—April 1911.
