Subsequent stage — outgrowth elongated and containing irregularly 

 disposed solid matter, which gradually aggregates itself into 

 spherules (e), each of these afterwards becoming enclosed within 

 one of the units into which the mass segments. These subse- 

 quently liberate themselves as active Monads {g), which gradually 

 assume the forms of Z?, j, and h ; whilst the latter motionless form 

 either develops cilia (/), or else becomes fluent and moves about 

 as an Amoeba (m).
