 contour ; 3, molluscum body segmented, the protoplasm of one 

 segment only in motion ; smaller spherical bodies, two with vacuoles 

 and two with protoplasmic motion ; 4, two zoospores with oscillating 

 granules and molluscum body with similar moving granules ; 5, mol- 

 luscum body extruding globules similar to those in 1, f. All the fore-
