regions<SPAN class=016390110-02022008> </SPAN>from the Arctic islands as part of
the PhD dissertation of D.<SPAN class=016390110-02022008> </SPAN>Antoniades at
the University of Toronto, Canada. Under this study,<SPAN

available habitats were<SPAN class=016390110-02022008> </SPAN>studied from 91
ponds and lakes along with sediment cores from<SPAN class=016390110-02022008>
</SPAN>several sites. It quickly became clear that many of the diatoms<SPAN

<DIV align=left><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><BR>The Bahamas includes more
than 700 islands in the warm western waters of the Atlantic, beginning just 100
km off Palm Beach, Florida, and stretching in a great southeasterly arc for more
than 1,200 km to the Windward Passage, the entrance to the Caribbean Sea. One
hundred twenty-eight collections for diatom analysis from various habitats and
substrata were made between 1987 and 1993 in the Bahamas. Collections were
primarily of natural substrata, macroalgae, or seagrasses. One of the more
unique habitats sampled was actively growing stromatolites at a depth of about 8
m. A total of 379 taxa distributed among 94 genera were observed during this
study. Diversity of taxa in most collections was relatively high with most
Shannon-Wiener diversity indices above 3.0. All taxa are illustrated with 806
photographs in 75 plates. The genera represented by the greatest number of taxa
were Mastogloia (75), Amphora (37), Nitzschia (29), Navicula (25), Cocconeis
(20), and Diploneis (17).<BR>Two taxa (Brassierea vivens and Oestrupia grandis)
previously have been described by the authors as new taxa. Additional taxa will
be published<SPAN class=282392510-02022008> </SPAN>as new species in future
publications following completion of detailed SEM study. The present paper
considerably expands the number of known diatom taxa from the Bahamas. The
publication of the extensive book on benthic marine diatoms by Witkowski et al.
(2000) includes many of the taxa found in this study. However,of the 1,183 taxa
listed in Witkowski et al., only two (Mastogloia pseudolatecostata Yohn &
Gibson and Navicula longa var. irregularis<SPAN class=282392510-02022008>
</SPAN>Hustedt) are reported specifically from the Bahamas. Comparison of the
taxa previously reported from the Bahamas in other publications indicate 253 of
the 312 named taxa listed in this study are new records for the Bahamas.</DIV>
