Genus Lacrymaria, Ehrbg. 
Lacrymaria vermicularis (Ehlrbg.). 
(Syn. Phialina vermicularis, Ehrbg., Cl. u. L., and Kent.) 
This animal was found in the same locality as H. indica in 
March, 1914. Body sub-cylindrical, or bottle-shaped if the apical 
lobe is taken into consideration, flexible and contractile, two and 
a half times as long as broad (Kent, 4, P. 519) appears to refer to 
the contracted state of the animal; in the fully extended condi- 
tion in which I was able to observe it, it was 4 to 6 times as long 
as broad (figs. 2, 2a, 2b). Length about 104. Apical portion in 
advance of the annular furrow short and cylindrical, anterior 
margin of the body truncate and bearing a single circlet of cilia 

Fic. 2.—Lacrymaria vermicularis (Ehrbg.), fully extended ; 2a. moderately 
extended ; 20. fully contracted. 
(N. macronucleus; ¢C. v. contractile vacuole or vacuoles.) 
which are directed backwards, the rest of the body appeared, how- 
ever, to be glabrous. The nucleus was seen to be oval in outline, 
and the single contractile vacuole situated near the posterior end.
