Endospora bicoccus sp. nov.

Plate 5, figure 52

Cells existing singly or in pairs, very rarely in fours, free
among other algae, not forming a stratum; single'cells irregular

in size and form, spherical to ovoid, 2.5-3.8 p diam., becoming
ellipsoidal before division; colonies of two or four 7.2-8.4 n
diam.; walls pinkish or brick red; resting spores rounded, walls
conspicuous and smooth.

Growing on soil by the road to Monte Montoro, Maricao, no.
1071 d, type, and no. 1077 e.

A very large majority of the colonies in the above species
contain only tw^o cells. When the resting spores are forming,
the appearance is that of the ordinary cell-division of Synecho-
coccus, and were it not for the presence of a distinct cell-wall
and the fact that some of the colonies came to the four-celled
stage by divisions in two planes, it might be placed in that genus.

It is not quite typical of the genus Endospora, which forms more
complex colonies by divisions in three planes, but it forms rest-
ing spores after the manner of that genus.
