312 THE PATHOGENIC RHIZOPODA 



similar to cvtoryctes and neiiroryctes, and all of which, together with 

 the cell inclusions of molluscum contagiosum, Prowazek includes 

 under the name of chlamydozoa or "mantle-covered" organisms. 

 This name represents a point of view held by many protozoologists 

 that the real organisms are the chromatin granules, while the material 

 about them is only coagulated nuclear material. The entire absence 

 of fortuitous strands of such nuclear material in the cell, apart from the 

 enclosed granules, together with the definite history which corresponds 

 exactly with the idiochromidia formation in other rhizopods, renders 

 this interpretation improbable.
