Resting-eells are formed by the direct encystment of the motile individuals. Gametesof a more or less isogamous character occur in DunaUella (Teodoresco, 05),and they fuse in pairs to form zygotes. The most primitive genus of the family is Polyblepha/rides, in which the body of thecell is conical with a broad anterior end to which are attached from six to eight cilia. InPyntiitiiiioinix, which possesses only four cilia, the cell-body is also more or less conical,and is four-lohed in the anterior region. Chloraster, which is furnished with five cilia, H Fig. 95.
