An Erratum to this article was published on 01 September 1953

Summary

  1. 1.

    Ten flagellate species of Chrysophyceæ, four belonging toMallomonas Perty, three toSynura Ehr., and three toDinobryon Ehr. are described.

  2. 2.

    The localities from which these algae were collected and the periods of their occurrence are given. They occur in the plains usually during winter, and at high elevations during summer.

  3. 3.

    Except for one previous record ofSynura, no flagellate members of the Chrysophyceæ appear to have been recorded in India so far. Records of even non-flagellate members of the class from India are few. The present records show that members of the Chrysophyceae are not as rare in India as believed hitherto.
