Abstract
ABSTRACT Some time ago I made a gathering of some minute algæ from a pool near Enniskerry, on the road, going towards Lough Bray. Amongst these a number of globular, densely spined bodies, with green contents, conspicuously presented themselves. The spines densely covering these were very numerous, very slender throughout, and acute. The bodies themselves were mostly to be found distributed in pairs over the field of view. These might easily be taken for so many zygospores of some desmidian; but much as such a structure resembled a possible zygospore, these bodies were not like that known of any species of the family Desmidiese, nor was there any evidence in the gathering that they might actually be zygospores of any form not yet known in the conjugated state.
