There were many smaller motion- less spherules, of different sizes, whose body-substance presented a similar appearance to that of the Monads. There were also several unjointed Bacteria^ presenting most rapid progressive movements, accompanied by rapid axial rotations; many Torufa-cells of different kinds, and coarser fungus spores, some of them with segmented protoplasmic contents; and lastly, some mycelial or algoid filaments, containing tolerably equal blocks of colourless protoplasm within an investing sheath. 1 A drop containing several of the Monads was placed for about five minutes on a glass slip, in a warm-water oven maintained at a tempera- ture of J 40° F. All the movements of the Monads ceased from that time; and they never again showed any signs of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Bastian, H.
