Abstract
ON A NEW GENUS OF CRYPTOPHYCEÆ.—It would appear that the interesting fresh-water genus of Algæ described by Bornet and Grunow as Mazæa (vide NATURE, vol. xxvi. p. 557) is without doubt the same as Nostochopsis of Wood. This genus of Wood was first briefly described in the Proc. Amer. Philos. Soc., 1869, and more fully, and with good figures, in the “Fresh-water Algæ of the United States,” 1872. The Philadelphia species, N. lobatus, Wood, is referred by its discoverer to the Rivulaceæ, and is apparently a different species from that described by Bornet and Grunow from Brazil.
