The inner bodywas highly refractive, and two or four cells were frequently pres-ent within the thick envelope, the membrane of which was thin. Figures 5, 6, 7, and 8, represent different stages of an unidenti-fied organism, probably also belonging to the algae, which oc-curred in several cultures. The body of the organism was ovoidand showed rather large refractive granules clinging to the rim,the center being grossly granular. The body lay within a color-. 2
