TABLE SHOWING THE DERIVATION AND EQUIVALENCE OF ALL FIG- 
URES IN THIS PAPER REPRODUCED FROM PREVIOUS AUTHORS. 
The tollowing table shows the equivalence of all figures in the litera- . 
ture, including those of species formerly considered myxosporidian but 
now rejected. Figures to the right are copied from those farther to the 
left on the same horizontal line, and those copied in this paper are, in 
all cases, taken directly from the original. Further, wherever several 
series of letters or figures (indicated, for economy of space, as *‘a—m” “1—- 
16, etc.) occur on the same horizontal line, the individual members of 
such series correspond always and rigidly each to each, that is, a to a, 
b to b, 1 to 1, 2 to 2, or 7 to 10, 8 to 11, ete., as the case may be. To 
save space all intermediate columns not required on any particular 
page are omitted from that page. Such omitted columns will of course 
appear on some other page, and their relative positions in the full 
series of illustrated articles represented in this table, are indicated by 
the bibliographic reference number (Roman numerals). Plate numbers 
(heavy type) are inserted only where absolutely necessary to prevent 
ambiguity. 
After much study of the literature certain figures can not now be 
placed with any certainty. They are those to which no species number 
corresponds in the table. It will be seen that they are principally some 
of Pfeiffer’s and Balbiani’s and are mainly to be distributed between the 
two probably very distinct but at present not very clearly delimited 
species habitant on the tench, Myxobolus piriformis and M. ellipsoides, 
On the plates I have thought it best to reproduce the groups of figures 
entire and to leave to the future the apportionment of the individual 
figures, and will only add that in the synonymy of M. piriformis and MM. 
ellipsoides 1 have ventured on a taxonomic guess, the dubious figures 
being separated from those definitely placed by a period or a paren- 
thesis,
