The mouth and throat form in the new Stentor before any signs of division appear, but in the course of two hours the body splits asunder, and two new in-- dividuals appear. Fig. 26 illustrates the mode of self- division seen in Stentor polymorpJms Ehrenberg, by Hon. J. D. Cox. The process in this occupied two hours ; at the final stage (Fig. 26,/) the connection between the two ani- malcules parted, " and the two Stentors swam separately.
