(Simonsen 1987: 395) Notes: Simonsen (1987: 395) notes "Hustedt failed to mark the specimen he illustrated. On the slide cited below we found two Navicula specimens of similar shape, one in a very oblique position which is marked, the other is in a better position but not marked. This latter specimen, however, measures 19-5 µm in length, whereas the former is 15 µm long, compared with Hustedt's specimen of about 14 µm."
