Abstract: This report is a study of the fossil freshwater diatoms from two deposits on the Kenai Peninsula,Alaska. These deposits,averaging from 2 to 6 feet in thickness, crop out along the sea cliffs bordering Cook Inlet, some 5,5 to 11,5 miles northward of the village of Kenai. They contain a flora encompassing 344 species, varieties and forms of diatoms, including 21 new taxa. The deposits overlie some 13 feet of glacial outwash with a carbon- 14 age between 8000 and 14000 years B.P.
