The tubercles, which are situated just below the apex, were about 

 24 in number. They are much less conspicuous than the tubercles of 

 many other Pleurotœnia of this nature, and consist, of somewhat slight 

 plications of the cell-wall at the apex. In fact, the tubercles of all Pleu- 

 rotœnia of this nature are primarily due to a series of short (but pro- 

 minent) foldings or plications round the apex. In a few species these 

 plications are surmounted by actual bead-like outgrowths, but this is not 

 often the case.

The Siamese specimens differed from the American ones in being a 

 little thicker towards the base of the semicells. In the character, arrange- 

 ment and number of the markings they were absolutely identical. 



In stagnant water in the jungle, and in muddy ricetields, abundant.

The Siamese specimens were a little longer than the American ones 

 and the undulations did not extend so near the ends of the semicells. 

 As the basal undulation was also a little larger than the others the Pleu- 

 rotœnium bore a certain amount of resemblance to P. basiundatum West 

 & G. S. West.
