 microzooid by uneven longitudinal fission ; 12 and 13, conjugation of micro-

 or nucleus (after Greeff) ; 14-16, encysted zooids apparently developing, in 

 the two latter instances, endoparasitic organisms (Stein) ; 17, normal de- 

 tached sedentary animalcule as observed by the author ; 18, encysted zooid ; 

 19, example of production of eight microzooids through repeated fission of 

 primarily segmented moiety (after D'Udekem) ; 20, zooid with two basally 

 attached microzooids ; 21, zooid encysted upon its contracted pedicle (after 

 Stein) ; 22-24, conjugating adult zooids, x 300 (after Claparfede & Lachmann).

 and encystment resulting in the subdivision of the endoplast or nucleus into 

 nodular fragments ; 39-46, successive phases illustrating the development 

 of a nodular endoplastic fragment through a Strombidhiin-X^ks. condition 

 (Figs. 38-41) into an ordinarily attached zooid, the example at 40 dividing by
