PLATE 4 



Diplodinium ecaiulaium forma ecaudatum Fiorentini 



(Fixed in Zenker's fluid and stained with modified Mallory's connective 

 tissue staiu. Camera lucida drawings, colored to match the stain.) 



Fig. 3. Median sagittal section constructed from superimposed camera lucida 

 drawings from three sections, each 5 microns thick. X 1500. Compare with 

 microphotographs, plate 6, figures 12-18, and plate 7, figure 33. 



Fig. 4. Cross-section through region of dorsal membranelle zone from three 

 sections, each 6 microns thick. X 1500. Compare with microphotographs, plate 

 7, figures 23-25. 



Fig. 5. Cross-section (same series as fig. 4) through the micronucleus (cf. 

 fig. 3). X 1500. Compare with microphotograph, plate 7, figure 29.
