Abstract


Stomatocyst 29 Cabała was described from the Żabie Oko lake in the Tatra Mts, Poland, in 2005 as a chrysophycean stomatocyst new to science. The examination of the recently found specimens in the Dwoisty Staw Gąsienicowy lake in the Tatra Mts, including their chemical composition, showed that stomatocyst 29 is not a cyst, but a pollen grain.

Keywords
