HETERODIC'TYON, Grev. A genus

HETEROMAS'TIX, Oik. A genus of 

 Cilio-flagellate Infusoria; corresponding to 

 a Eugkna with two anterior flagella, one 

 trailing; and an anterior oral fringe of cilia. 



H. proteiformisj in fresh water. (James- 

 Clark, Mem. Bost. Soc. N. H. 1868 ; Kent, 

 In/us. 463.) 



HETERO'MITA, Duj. A genus of Fla- 

 gellate Infusoria. 



Char. Body globular, ovoid, or oblong, 

 with two filaments arising from the same 

 point in front one, more delicate, and with 

 an undulatory motion, causing progression ; 

 the other thicker, and floating freely be- 

 hind, or adhering here and there to the 

 slide, so as to produce by its contraction 

 sudden motion backwards. 



Distinguished from Anisonema and Hete- 

 ronema by the absence of a tegument, shown 

 by the glutinous appearance of the body, 

 the facility with which it adheres to other 

 objects and becomes drawn out, and the 

 presence internally of certain corpuscles 



which can only have entered by vacuola 

 formed on the surface. 



Found in both fresh and salt water, and 

 in fiush-macerations. 



H. ovata=Bodo grandis, E. (PI. 30. fig.

H. granulosa. Body globular, surface 

 granular; marine; length 1-2300". 



. H. angusta. Body lanceolate, slightly 

 sigmoid; freshwater; length 1-980".

HETERONE'MA, Duj. A genus of 

 Flagellate Infusoria, of the family Euglenia. 



Char. Form variable, oblong, irregularly 

 expanded posteriorly ; with a slender flagel- 

 liform filament, and a thicker trailing, re- 

 tracting filament ; tegument obliquely stri- 

 ated. 



Differs from Heteromita in the presence 

 of a tegument, and from Anisonema in the 

 tegument being contractile. 



H. marina (PL 31. fig. 17). Filaments 

 longer than the body ; length 1-4300".

 Acarina. 



H. ventricosus occurs in the nests of An-

 (Newport, Linn. Tr. 1850; Murray, EC. 

 Ent. 290, figs.) 



HETEROSTEGI'NA, D'Orb. A flat, 

 discoidal Nummuline Foraminifer, with 

 whorls rapidly increasing in breadth and 

 reticulated by the primary and secondary 

 septa of the narrow curved chambers and 

 their rectangular partitions. Living in the 

 Eastern Archipelago ; fossil in the Tertiary 

 beds, especially forming one stratum in the 

 island of Malta. 



BIBL. Carpenter, Intr. For. 288 ; Jones, 

 Geol. Mag. ii. 151. 



HETEROSTOMEL'LA, Reuss. One of 

 the Textularian Foraminifera, in which the 

 chambers are at first set on alternately, but 

 not neatly, on either side of a straight axis, 

 and afterwards, growing in a single row, as 

 in Bigenerina, not only open terminally, in- 

 stead of laterally, but have a tubular, and 

 even a lipped, aperture, such as we see in 

 Uvigerina. Shell often prickly. Fossil in 

 the Chalk of Europe and America.
