The posterior list ofthe girdle is not formed at this point, and the apical horn as it passesposteriorly lies in a channel or depression on the ventral face of the mid-body along the right margin of the ventral plate. Kofoid designates the Peridiniacese 71 place of junction on the anterior schizont the attachment area, and thedepression the chain channel (consult fig. 53). Lohmann observed heteromorphic chains of Ceratium tripos, and Kofoidhas given some interesting information on two cases of mutation, one ofCeratium tripos to G. calif or niense, and the other of 0. Ostenfeldii toC. californiense. In the rare instances in which mutations occur, Kofoid. Fig. 51. Peridinium anylicuiii G. S. West.

The fact that the mutating chains have been seen so rarely incomparison with the vast numbers of normal chains which have been 72 Peridinieae observed, coincides with observations on mutati
