In certain species of Oscillatoria and Phormidium there have been described fine hair-like outgrowths fromthe terminal cells (see fig. 14). Thesehave been regarded by many observersas parasitic or saprophytic Bacteria ofthe nature of Ophiothrix, but Phillips(04, p. 320) asserts that those out-growths observed by him were livingportions of the algal filament whichhad grown out from the was unable to assign a definitefunction to these outgrowths, which hestates at first stain like the protoplasmof the t
