Abstract
SUMMARY: Two species of Mallomonas (Chrysophyceae), M. insignis Penard and M. akrokomos Pascher ex Ruttner manuscript were investigated with optical and with electron microscopes. Carbon replicas have now made it possible to learn how the scales fit together in the armour and in particular how the tail, in each species, is constructed. Direct electron micrographs in conjunction with replicas have given much additional information about the scales. Developmental stages of M. insignis have been noted.Keywords
