From the preface: This guide has been developed from the 'scrap-book' of illustrations and descriptions that we have compiled covering the groups of organisms encountered during our field work. We have collated the information for each taxon into a brief description which should facilitate the reliable identification of most diatoms belonging to the groups covered that might be encountered in the Southern Ocean.
