336 THE JOUKNAL OF INDIAN BOTANY. 



Certaiu very small animals were observed to live on some mem- 

 bers of this group. The most interesting among them -was a Chiro- 

 nomus larva (a kind of " blood-worm"), which fed very largely on Pan- 

 dorina colonies and at the same time made a case to live in out of 

 these colonies by fastening a large number of them together by means 

 of a silk-like secretion from its salivary glands.
