Thus, Colpodella pugnax piercesthe Ghlamydomonas, sucks up the chlorophyll that flows out, and L 2 148 GENERAL PHYSIOLOGY runs away. A second rare case of this kind is afforded by Vampy-rella Bpirogyrm. The amoeba of this species applies itself to ahealthy Spirogyra, bores through the cell-wall and devours theslowly escaping primordial utricle together with the chlorophyll-bands. It seems to be able to satisfy its hunger upon
