observes as follows: ‘‘ The large number of contractile vesicles 
serve to distinguish this species from L. fasciola, which in other 
respects it closely resembles.’’ On this consideration there would 
be abundant justification for the erection of a new species for the 
present form, but by later writers L. varsaviensis, Wrz., does not 
appear to have been considered as specifically distinct from L. fas- 
ciola, which it closely resembles and in which there is only one 
contractile vacuole. I should think that L. varsaviensis, Wrz., 
and the form under consideration are sufficiently distinct to rank 
as subspecies. Lionotus fasciola has however since been separated 
from the genus Lionotus (falslich zuerst Lztonotus genannt—Bronn), 
which is reserved for species with a very long neck (in some being 
even longer than the body) and placed again under Loxophyllum, 
to which indeed it originally belonged (Clap. u. L.). So the form 
described above may be identified with Loxophyllum fasctola, and 
the name punjabensts given to the subspecies to indicate its special 
peculiarities. 
Family CHLAMYDODONTA. 
Genus Nassula, Ehrbg. 
Nassula stromphii (Ehrbg.) 
(Syn. Liostphon stromphiw Ehrbg.). 
Found in water from a ditch on the roadside outside the 
College compound in March, 1914. The animals examined are 
referable to Nassula stromphi (Ehrbg.) as described in Kent 
(p. 496), but the description given there is inadequate, and so the 
following description is appended :— 
Body ovate, with a distinct large prolongation of the anterior 
region beyond the oral aperture, anterior portion flexible; length 
57, width 36,4; colour green owing to the ingestion of algae as 
food particles; cilia uniform; pharynx armed, tubular, with a 
cylindrical fascicle of rod-like teeth; contractile vacuole large, 
posteriorly situated, with pinkish contents, with two or more 
smaller vacuoles irregularly distributed; macronucleus oval, sub- 
central and eccentric. 
Family CHILIFERA. 
Genus Trichoda, O. F. Mill. 
Trichoda pura, Ehrbg. 
In infusions of dry leaves. 
Genus Colpoda, Miill. 
Colpoda cucullus, Ehrbg. 
In infusions of hay.
