Figure SL—Cepedea scalpriformis Ghosh. 

 CEPEDEA SIALEOTI Bhatia and Golatl 



Figure 85 

 Host: Bufo macrotis Boulenger, from Punjab, India. 

 In their drawings of this and other opalinids, Bhatia and Gulati 

 (1927) have shown the rows of cilia as converging to the two ends of 

 the body. Others have not observed this arrangement in any species. 

 Probably it is due to inadvertent error of observation. 



Figure So.— Cepedea aialkoti Bhatia and Gulati.

Measurements, in microns, are recorded as foUows: Body 89 by 

 31, 64 by 14, nucleus 7. 



As in many other species, broad and narrow forms are foimd (cf. C. 

 dimidiata and the forma zelleri). Without seeing specunens of this 

 Cepedea I hesitate to discuss its aflSnities. 



CEPEDEA METCALFI Bhatia and Gnlati 



Figure 86 



Host: Bufo melanostictus Schneider, from India. 



In this species, again, slender and stocky forms are fomia. 



Measurements, in microns, are given as follows: Body 108 by 40, 

 85 by 35, 81 by 67, 71 by 17; interval between lines of cilia 2.5, ap- 

 parently in the middle of the body. Nuclei spherical. 



The description is not sufficient to distinguish this form from C. 

 sialkoti or to allow determination of relationships.
