12. A mature asexual coenobium with eleven asexual daughters 
arranged in two symmetrical groups of four, one just ahead of, 
and the other just behind the middle, and three members of 
a hypothetical group of four smaller daughters just back of 
them. x 100. 
18. An asexual coenobium with eight gonidia in process of division. 
The first three in the upper row and the second and fourth in 
the lower row are 2-celled. The others are 4-celled. This is 
from the same collection as the specimens shown in Plate 1, 
fig. 5, and Plate 4, fig. 24. x 100. 
14. An asexual coenobium of the smaller form. It has eight sym- 
metrically arranged gonidia of about 50 to 55 4. x 100. 
PLATE 3 
15. An asexual coenobium of Merrillosphaera carteri var. manilana 
with five asexual daughters and three gonidia. The daughters 
are the foremost four and the left (distant) member of the 
hindmost four. The gonidia are about 85 u in diameter. Each 
daughter contains eight gonidia that are about 12 » in diam- 
eter. xX 100. 
16. A young asexual coenobium of the smaller form. It has ten 
gonidia. They are not typically arranged. Two nearest the 
forward pole are the smallest, or else the figure is upside down, 
in which case the forward group of four is midway between 
the equator and the forward pole. xX 100. 
17. An asexual coenobium with nine gonidia in the typical arrange- 
ment of two fours with an odd one occupying one of the places 
of a hypothetical third group of four. The small gonidia 35 
u, the others about 46 » wide. x 100. 
18. A mature asexual coenobium with eight female daughters ar- 
ranged in two symmetrical groups of four. There are twenty- 
one oogonidia in the nearest daughter, and they are about 15 » 
in diameter. x 100. 
19. A young asexual coenobium with seven gonidia of 24 to 28 
diameter. x 100. 
20. A mature asexual coencbium of the smaller form. It contains 
eight daughters. The uppermost of these contains nine goni- 
dia, the others eight. The gonidia measure from 18 to 25 4. 
x 100. 
21. An asexual coenobium of the smaller form. It has eight gonidia 
and about 1,600 somatic cells. x 100. 
22. An asexual coenobium of the smaller form. It has seven gonidia 
of about 10 to 22 », and about five hundred somatic cells. X 100. 
23. An anomalous coenobium containing thirty-five reproductive bodies 
of three kinds. Four are daughters, all asexual, in one of 
which eight gonidia can be counted. In the others only six 
or seven can be seen, though there may be one or two more in 
obscurity. Fourteen of the bodies are about 42 » wide and are 
supposed to be gonidia, and seventeen are 26 to 32 u wide and 
supposed to be oogonidia. X 100.
