| Abstract: | Seventeen species of algae, newly recorded between 1965 and 1968 from sewage treatment ponds around Auckland City, are described together with another 11 species found in eutrophic waters of the area. These latter natural waters are often of a transient nature and usually heavily polluted in some way. The genera recorded, with number of species (in brackets), are: Flagellata: Euglena (5); Lepocinclis (1); Phacus (3); Trachelomonas (1). Chlorophyceae (Volvocales): Chlamydomonas (1); Pteromonas (1); Pyrobotrys (1); Chloro‐gonium (1) (Chlorocoecales): Coelastrum (1); Tetrallantos (1); Closteriopsis (1) Scenedesmus (5). (Conjugates) : Closterium (3). Myxophyceae: Anabaena (1); Arthrospira (1); Oscillatoria (1). |
