COCCOLITHS AND DISCOASTERS FROM THE FLOOR OF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC OCEAN

SYNOPSIS The minute structure of the coccoliths borne by several species of Chrysophyceæ is described and illustrated by electron‐micrographs of carbon replicas. The use of replicas enables anatomical details which are obscure or invisible in micrographs of the object itself to be seen clearly, and...

Description
Summary:SYNOPSIS The minute structure of the coccoliths borne by several species of Chrysophyceæ is described and illustrated by electron‐micrographs of carbon replicas. The use of replicas enables anatomical details which are obscure or invisible in micrographs of the object itself to be seen clearly, and they provide a means of distinguishing with certainty between species which have very small coccoliths of similar gross appearance but different in their plan of construction.
