A manual of the Infusoria : including a description of all known flagellate, ciliate, and tentaculiferous protozoa, British and foreign, and an account of the organization and the affinities of the sponges . he characteristic dental armature of the whole ofthe Chlamydodontidffi pointing more especially to a no very distant union with theHolotrichous forms Prorodon and Nassula. The more specialized structure of thehigher Hypotricha receives full attention in the account given of the family Oxytri-chidse. As typified by this highly differentiated group, the Hypotrichous order occupiesthe summit of the graduated scale of Ciliate complexity, and may be said, in virtueof the diverse modifications and functions of the appendicular organs, to claim withrelation to the preceding sections a position closely corresponding with that held bj-the Insecta with reference to the lower divisions of the Arthropoda. In accordance with our present state of knowledge, the succeeding schedulewould appear to supply the simplest key to an intelligent apprehension of thenumerous families and genera referable to the order Hypotricha.
