29-5 1 Ehr.) containing large central modified endoplasts or germ-spheres (after 



{.continued). Stein) ; 40 and 41, similar animalcules giving exit by rupture of their germ- 

 spheres to swarms of minute monadiform germs (Stein) ; 43, an animalcule 

 emerging from a temporary encystment (Stein) ; 43, an example of fission as 

 accomplished during the encysted state (Stein) ; 44-48, various phases of 

 encystment accompanied with the production of internal germ-spheres, 

 (Stein) ; 49 and 50, examples of encystment observed by the author, in which 

 the entire endoplasmic contents have become divided into spheroidal spore- 

 like bodies, at 50 a double sporocyst formed apparently by the conjugation 

 of two animalcules; 51, repent amoebiform germs developed from the 

 preceding sporocysts, x 600.

 disposed, equal-sized segment masses, x 300 (Carter).
