The Infusoria are chiefly to be distinguished from other unicellular organisms by the large nwmher of cilia they possess, on which account they are called Ciliata (Fig. 48). Cilia are much smaller than flagella, be- ing, as a rule, about "1 to '3 /x. thick, and about 15 /A long. They may number thousands. For example, it has been calculated, that the Paramceciuvi aurelia possesses approximately 2,500. As for the Balantidium elongatum^ which is parasitic in the Frog, and which is very thickly ciliated, Biitschli (III. 3) is of opinion that it has nearly ten thousand cilia ; these are generally arranged in several longitudinal rows, which either encircle the body in spirals, or are con- fined to a certain portion of its sur- face. In addition to the cilia, many Infusoria possess special large organs of locomotion, cirri, and undulating membranes. The.
