■\ Spheerospora sp., Southwell & Prashad, 1918, pp. 347-8. 

 Sphserospora sp.. Kudo, 1920, p. 103 ; 1933, p. 203. 



Remarks. — The poor condition of the material did not allow 

 of a complete account of its structure being given, but the 

 bicapsulate, rounded structure of the spore places it in this 

 genus. 



Habitat. — Cysts occurred in very large numbers, one under 

 each scale of Barilius barna (Ham.-Buch.), from the vicinity 

 of the Ruby Mines : Burma. 



III. Suborder PLATYSPOREA Kudo, 1920. 



Sutural plane coincides or forms an acute angle with the 

 longest diameter. One, two or four polar capsules. Sporo- 

 plasm with or without an iodinophilous vacuole.
