Dactylococcopsis arcuata sp. nov.

Plate 1, figure 4

Cells 45-55 p long, 1.4-1.8 \x diam., gently arcuate, free; wall
very thin, contents homogeneous, yellowish green.

" Growing among other Myxophyceae on the bark of a tree
trunk, Caguas, no. 439 e, type.

The specimens of this species are very sparse, but seem un-
mistakably to be distinct, and apparently closely related to D.
acicularis Lemmerm., from which it differs in being shorter, nar-
rower, curved, and free from refringent granules.
