the calculation as described in an earlier paper (Shaw, ’18, 
p. 256). 
The somatic protoplasts are ovoid and have slender connect- 
ing filaments such as have been shown in the high-power draw- 
ings of Klein (’89 A, figs. 5 and 26), Overton (89 5: fige: 1), 
Meyer (96, pl. 8, fig. B), and Janet (12, fig. 4). Measure- 
ments of average protoplasts in the four coenobia above noted 
gave 7 to 8 » in the first and 5 ,» in the others. 
The somatic protoplasts are farther apart about the anterior 
pole and closer together about the posterior pole than they are 
in the equatorial region. The distances between the proto- 
plasts in the first coenobium are about one and a half to two 
protoplast diameters forward and one-half to one protoplast 
diameter aft. 
The number of connecting strands between neighboring pro- 
toplasts in the first coenobium was noted to be one, two, and 
three, and in the second coenobium mostly one, and in a few 
cases two. It was also noted that strands from somatic to 
reproductive protoplasts were visible, but they were not 
counted. 
The asexual reproductive bodies in 25 asexual coenobia and 
the female reproductive bodies in 39 sexual coenobia were 
counted and found to be distributed as follows: 
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 reproductive bodies in 
3, 4,10, 5, 2, 1, 0, 0, and 0 asexual coenobia and 
oy 6; 6718; 6°38, 2; 2, and 1 female coenobia, respectively. 
Thus the number of gonidia in this material ranges from 
four to nine and is most commonly six. Likewise the number 
of oogonidia ranges from four to twelve and is most commonly 
seven. 
Daughter coenobia in one mother were measured. Of four 
daughters, two in the 16-cell stage measured about 36 » and 
two in about the 64-cell stage measured about 54 » in diameter. 
Another coenobium contains seven reproductive cells (and one or 
possibly two vacant sites of such cells) that are ovoid—six meas- 
uring 40 by 45 » and one 25 by 35 p». In the nearer hemi- 
sphere of this coenobium two cells larger than the somatic cells 
(10 » in diameter) are visible. They are located about three 
or four cells distant from the nearest reproductive cells. 
- Oospores counted and measured in one coenobium were seven, 
with diameters of the zygote protoplasts 53 to 57 » and of the 
outer spore wall 67 to 73 »w. In the largest coenobium there 
were ten oospores, their protoplasts being about 60 » and their
