Abstract: | Abstract Comparative study of the structure and of the biological cycle of two fresh water diatoms: « Navicula minima » Grun. and « Navicula seminulum » Grun. III. Examination of the characteristics of « N. minima » Grun. and « N. seminulum » Grun. — After studing separately the Navicula minima Grun. and the Navicula seminulum Grun. the various characteristics of the two have been compared and contrasted for purpose of classification. The form and dimentions of the frustules, the density and the structure of the streaks, the structure of the walls, the life circle, aspects of their growths, and some anomalies, most especially, as regards the streaks were examined. It was found the among such numerous characteristics, only one, that is, the presence of the streaks formed by double rows of pores in N. seminulum rather than of a simple file as in N. minima makes one thinks that, in spite of strong similarities existing between these two Naviculae, they are to be regarded as belonging to e different systematic classes. However, their actual positions in taxonomy May-June be defined by further research into the structures and the variabilities of the frustules of other species of Naviculae similar to those examined. |
