Anacystis distans sp. nov.

Plate 4, figure 37

Colonies 20-35 |j diam., spherical, of gelatinous consistency,
free; cells spherical, about 2 n diam., very pale aeruginous, 16-
32, rarely 64, in a colony, considerably separated from each
other, usually 2-3 times their diameter; resting spores unknown;
sheath homogeneous throughout the colony, ample, somewhat
gelatinous.

Growing among other species of Myxophyceae on a water
pipe by a flume near Maricao, no. 1155 e, type; and 1148 b; on
limestone between Arecibo and TTtuador no. 1405 a.

From the descriptions and figures of Gloeocapsa punctata
Naeg., Anacystis distans is very closely related to it, but the col-
onies are larger and have more cells, which are more nearly of
uniform size. From all appearances G. punctata Naeg. is a true
Anacystis, going through the same life cycle as the one described
for this genus under Anacystis gigas in this paper.
