I desire to express myindebtedness and thanks to Miss Rhodes for relieving me on many occasions in thistiring and tedious watching, not only in the case of Spiromonas but also in theobservations on other forms. I also thank my laboratory assistant, Mr. GeorgeKauffman, for similar help on several occasions. Describing first what is, I think, the more usual and perhaps more normal methodof syngamy (text-fig.
