Plate 14 represents an entire example, the body-mass having be- 

 come extruded through the torn-like opening in the many-layered 

 outer envelope, and showing the greenish, reddish, and blueish-colour- 

 ing granules, pulsating vacuoles, and some incepted foreign bodies. 

 Far extending in a tortuous reticulated ''labyrinth" are seen the 

 filamentary trades (Padenbahn, Cienkowski) with numbers of the blueish 

 granules travelling thereon, now becoming fusiform in figure {Spin- 

 dles). Towards the left of the example, in an outlying portion of the 

 mass is seen a vacuole showing a temporary cleft or rift in the sub- 

 stance at each side of it. Towards the right is seen a nearly isolated 

 colony of the mass containing a digested example of Oocystis Naegelii. 

 At the further extremity occur two similar nearly isolated portions, 

 one showing imbedded an as yet undigested example of Spirotcenia 

 gracillima (n. s.), all these outlying portions showing some vacuoles. 

 Towards the left of the figure a small portion of the body-mass has 

 become on some former occasion independently re-encysted, and is now 

 " dormant." x 400 diam.
