PLATE 22 

 Budding in Councilmania lafleuri 



Fig. 23. Budding cyst with central, fasciculate chromatoidal body, from one 

 end of which a ehromophile area passes out into the densely chromophile cyto- 

 plasm in the pore to the chromophile bud, or amoebula which contains a single 

 nucleus, seven nuclei remaining in the cyst. 



Fig. 24. Budding cyst in fresh smear, showing protruding cytoplasm and 

 three nuclei remaining in the cyst. Reduction of the cytoplasm is indicated 

 by the outline of the lobe partially filling the cyst. 



Fig. 25. Cyst with small, protruding, chromophile bud, no chromatoidal 

 body, except a nucleus-like remnant (?), three enlarged nuclei in the spireme 

 stage remaining in the cyst. 



Fig. 26. Binucleate cyst with chromophile ridge and remnant of chroma- 

 toidal body, nuclei enlarged. Pore not detected. 



Fig. 27. Budding cyst with remnant of disintegrating chromatoidal body 

 from which a faint chromophile area leads to the pore filled with deeply chro- 

 mophile strand connecting with a uninucleate, deeply stained bud or amoebula. 

 Six nuclei with peripheral chromatin in large granules remain in the cyst. 



Fig. 28. Elongated cyst with no chromatoidal body but deeply chromophile 

 area massed as though for emergence as a bud, four nuclei remaining in the 

 cytoplasm.
