An Amphileptus fasciola was observed to rock from side to side, the 
animal remaining stationary. The elongated extremity broke up into 
small amoeboid masses, the cilia being absorbed in the process. Nothing 
is known of their subsequent fate. In two hours, the parent resumes its 
normal forms and habits. This “ reproduction by partial dissociation 1} 
appoars to bo an undoscribod method of reproduction amongst the 
Infusoria.
