granules, which then multiply and give rise to the larval cilia. If this case 

 may be considered representative, there is thus a genetic continuity of 

 basal granules throughout the life-cycle. 



In the life-cycle of Podophrya fixn (59), an intermediate stage inter- 

 venes between the larva and the adult, parasitic on Nassula ornata (Fig. 

 7. 56, F). The result of metamorphosis is a Sp}werophrya-st3.ge which floats 

 until it makes contact with its ciliate host. Endospltaera also includes un- 

 usual types with an endoparasitic adult, embedded in the cytoplasm of a
