Portions of two internodes of Chara prepared in the manner described; 

 one (slightly magnified) as it appears when first prepared, and another 

 (more highly magnified) representing a later stage, in which revolving 

 spheres of various sizes are to be seen. Other masses are attached to 

 the wall of the internode, and are already developing external vesicles 

 (fl, h, c, d), from which various forms of Infusoria are to be developed
