National Museum specimens No. 27149 (the type infection) and No. 27150, each 73 mm. long, from Porto Kico, April 4, 1908; L. Stej- neger, collector. Measurements of an ordinary individual.—Length of body mm.; width of body mm.; thickness of body mm.; diameter of nucleus mm.; diameter of endospherule mm.; cilia line interval, anterior mm., posterior mm. This Zelleriella is of different form from Z. hufoxena. It is nar- rower and is evenly rounded posteriorly except in the case of the daughter cells from longitudinal fission, which in both species are wedge-shaped with a round-pointed posterior end. Like Z. hufoxena it has very small nuclei. Its nuclei are the smallest known among the binucleated Opalinids, being but little larger than the largest nuclei among the multinucleated species, as for example, Opalina 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 resemb
