Graphic representation of data presented in Table I. 24 hours during which there is no increase in the population. Usually some of the inoculated ciliates die during this lag phase. After a con- siderable number of Euglcna have been eaten, reproduction follows and the culture goes into the logarithmic phase. The slope of the curve (and therefore the generation time) is identical with that for populations started with logarithmic ciliates (Table I; Fig. 5)..
