About the time when I arrived at Mr. Couper’s hospitable mansion, there had been several severe frosts, and some days of cold rains. Under these circum¬ stances, the opportunities to collect the microscopic forms were much less favor¬ able than at the preceding localities. The rice-field muds at this locality proved to be quite rich in remains of diatomaceous shells, agreeing with those noticed on the Savannah and Ogeechee, and furnishing abundance of the following forms, viz : Antinocyclus, several species. Actinoptychus denarius, Ehr. senarius, Ehr. *Campylodiscus argus, B. Eupodiscus Rogersii, Ehr. * “ radiatus, B. Gallionella sulcata, Ehr. Pinnularia amphyoxys, Ehr. Pinnularia interrupta, Kg. “ viridis, Ehr. Rhaphoneis rhombus, Ehr. Terpsinoe musica, Ehr. Triceratium favus, Ehr. “ reticulum, Ehr. Zygoceros rhombus, Ehr. In a rice-field ditch, remote from the river, I found the following species in a living state, viz: Desmidie.®. Closterium lanceolatum. Kg. Desmidium Swartzii, Ag. Micrasterias crenata, Breb. Scenedesmus obliquus, Kg. DlATOMACEAC. Cocconema cymbiforme, Ehr. Eunotia gibba, Ehr. “ librile, Ehr. “ amphyoxys, Ehr. Fragillaria pectinalis, Ehr., in large masses. Giillionella aurichalcea, Ehr. Gomphonema constrictum, Ehr. Navicula hippocampus, Ehr. Naunema, undet., frustules slender. Diatomace.®. Surirella splendida, Ehr. Synedra vitrea, Kg. Infusoria. Gonium pectorale, Ehr.
