Note. — Outing to the method employed in the text of proceeding from a 

 tijjie to tlie allied groups:, the systematic relcdioris of the orgonisffts considered 

 are often obscured. This synopsis is intended to make these relations clearer. 

 It can also he used as a systematic index of the hook. Moreover, the student 

 can use it in reviewing his knowledge of the text, and as a key for the deter- 

 mination of the class in which a specimen falls. The teacher can employ it as 

 a guide to collecting illustrative material; for every family mentioned should, 

 as far as possible, be illustrated by specimens or good figures. 



la the synopsis group-names printed in full-faee are phyla ; in 

 LARGE CAPITALS, classes; in Small Capitals, orders; in 

 italics, families. Subphyla, subclasses, and suborders are indicated 

 by bracketing. Thus [CILIATA] is a subclass. Numbers in 

 parentheses refer to pages of the text.
