Kent, (1) p. 34, classifies the Protozoa by the structure and arrange- 
ments of their oral arrangements ; he recognizes four classes, viz. : — 
Class T. Rhizopoda. Order 1. Amoebinay (2) Gregariniday (3) Ar- 
celliniday (4) Foraminiferay (5) Labyrinthididay (6) Radiolaria. 
Class II. Flagellata. Order 7. Mycetozoa {AEthalium, Didymium)y 
(8) Trypanosomatay (9) Rhizo -Flagellata {3fastigamceba, Podos- 
toma)y{l0) Radio- Flagellata {ActinomonaSy &c.), {\V)yFlagellata- 
Pantostomata {AnthopTiysay &c.), (12) Choano- Flagellata vel 
Discostomata-Gymnozoida (Codosigay &c.), (13) Spongida vel 
Discostomata-Cryptozoiday (14) Flagellata-Eustomata {Euglena, 
Noctiluca), (15) Cilio- Flagellata {Peridiniurriy Beteromastix). 
Class III. CiLiATA. Order 16. Holotricliay (17) Heterotricha, (18) 
Ilypotrichay (19) Peritricha. 
Class IV. Tentaculifera. (Order 20) Actinaria (Ephelota), (21) 
Suctoria.
