Opalina : its anatomy and reproduction, with a decription of infection experiments and a chronological review of the literature . beat backward, the animal thus turning over to theright as it swims; he describes and analyzes the reactions of thecilia under electric stimulation, which cause the animal with a weakcurrent to swim forward tot\ardthe anode, with a stronger currentto swim forward towai-d thekathode, with a still strongercun-ent to swim backward orsidways toward the anode. Maiek (1903) describes care-fully for 0. ranarum the pellicula,and the cilia and their basalgranules. He denies the connec-tion of the cilia with a networkof subcuticular fibrils such asToNNioEs describes, ascribing theappearance of the transverse linesobserved to ridges in the pellicle.[My study confirms Tonniges asto the presence of a sub-pellicularnetwork in connection with thecilia, though I would not ascribethe movement of the cilia to thecontraction of the fibrils of thenetwork.
