two, then into four germs, which, after their exit from the 
cyst, are Actinophrys-like bodies. 
Species 1. — Vampyrella Spirogyrce, Cienkowski. 
‘Archiv fur Mikrosk. Anat.,’ vol. i, p. 218, pi. xii, figs. 
44—50. 
Protoplasm-body of brick-red colour, and of exceedingly 
variable and irregular form. Pseudopods with granular cir- 
culation, partly long, thin, and pointed, partly short, thick, 
and obtuse. The pseudopods bore into the cells of Spiro- 
gyra, and suck out their contents. Resting condition, a 
globular or spheroidal, rarely an irregularly shaped Lepo- 
cytode, of 00S mm. diameter, fixed to Spirogyrse. Cyst-wall 
consisting of cellulose (turned blue by iodine and sulphuric 
acid). 
Locality. — On a fresh-water species of Spirogyra, Cien- 
kowski. 
Species 2. — Vampyrella pendula, Cienkowski. 
‘Archiv fur Mikrosk. Anat.,’ vol. i, p. 221, pi. xii, figs. 
0 1 — bo. 
Protoplasm-body of brick-red colour, and of very variable 
form. “ Pseudopods without granular-circulation,” which 
bore into the cells of various Confervse, (Edogonia, Bul- 
bocha)t<e, &c., and suck out their contents. Resting con- 
dition, a pear-shaped Lepocytode, which is attached by the 
pointed extremity. From the encysted globularly contracted 
body, a thread-like process issues to the place of attachment 
through the pointed end of the cellulose cyst-wall. 
Locality. — On various fresh-water Confervsc. 
Species 3. — Vampyrella vorax, Cienkowski. 
£ Archiv fur Mikrosk. Anat.,’ vol. i, p. 223, pi. xii, figs. 
04—73. 
Protoplasm-body of brick-red colour, and of extremely 
irregular and variable form. “ Pseudopods without granular 
circulation.” It engulphs foreign bodies (Diatomacea), Des- 
midiacea), and Flagellata) in the manner of the Rhizopoda, 
and draws them into the interior of the body. Resting 
condition an irregular, mostly longitudinally extended 
Lepocytode. 
Locality. — In fresh water.
