Figure 



1. Chlorococcum vulgare, Grev. a, groups in natural condition ; b, an isolated cell show- 



ing the granular contents ; c, dividing cells treated with sulphuric acid and iodine. 



2. Protococcus viridis, nob. a, groups of cells, the upper one with eight in a linear series ; 



those to the right with the contents dividing into numerous gonidia (?) ; 6, zoospores 

 set free from the cells by the solution of the cellulose membrane ; c, an isolated cell 

 dividing and about to set free its contents as two zoospores ; d, resting-cells with a 

 thick coat and reddish contents ; e, a zoospore with the cilia cast off'; f f a zoospore 

 with imperfect or retracted cilia ; g, remains of a zoospore left on a glass slide for 

 twenty-four hours. 



3. Palmetto, cruenta, Br. a, patch of the jelly with single cells, and dividing and divided 



pairs j b, similar cells without the gelatinous layer, the smaller granules similar to 

 those seen in the jelly of a ; c, cells treated with sulphuric acid and iodine, showing 

 the cellulose coat and granular contents ; d, diagram indicating the relative dimen- 

 sions of the cells of Palmetto, nivalis,

6. Coccochloris Brebissonii, Ktz. , group of cells, some dividing within their cell-coat ; 



6, a linear group; c, a pair of cells conjugating; d, conjugated cells encysted and 

 passing into the resting stage.
