The diatom microflora of 10 springs in the Lodz Hills is described: 456 taxa 
were found. Most of them, 313 taxa
are new, rare or interesting. The diatom assemblages in these springs are 
illustrated, and the documentation consists of more than 1500 micrographs 
(1154 LEM and 365 SEM). Among the 456 diatom taxa identified, 50 are 
mentioned in the Red List of the Algae in Poland. Nine diatom taxa were 
classified as endangered, 15 as vulnerable, 24 as rare, and only two taxa as 
indeterminate. Springs are the mainstay of diatom species diversity because 
they are affected by changes associated with human activities more slowly 
than other aquatic ecosystems. The analysis  of the relationship between 
diatom assemblages and environmental conditions was based on 10 springs in 
which physical and chemical samples were measured and samples were collected 
monthly from January 2003 to June 2005. For the ecological analyses of the 
diatom assemblages the following were used: indexes of diversity, 
k-dominance curves, Bray - Curtis coefficient, Hierachical Cluster analysis, 
MDS, SIMPER, BIO- ENV, PCA, and correlation analysis.
