- Abstract
The article presents information on the distribution of diatom flora, Bacillariophyceae on some littoral sediments of the Lake District, England. The distribution of the species depends upon the type of the lakes that are divided according to the chemistry of the littoral sediments. The species that are found in the lakes having both low nutritional status and pH are Achnanthes flexella and Frustulia rhomboides. Lakes with higher nutritional status contains species like Gyrosigma acuminatum and Navicula pupula. Besides, there are some species like Melosira varians and Melosira distans, that are not found in the region as it is outside their normal habitat range.
