The so- called SLirPER-ANTMALC'ULE is one of the commonest forms which makes its appearance amidst such environments. The length of this single-celled animal scared)- averages the one-hundredth part of an inch, but within this restricted space an amazing degree of structural and functional difterentiation is included. Its outer surface is, in the first place, densely clothed with hairs, which represent its organs of locomotion. This outer cell-wall has a subjacent somewhat softer layer, in which are developed as crowded a series ( as compared with the hairs) of minute rod-like bodies, which, under \-arious stimuli, can be shot out like darts through the skin, and are adjudged to be oftensix-e and defensive weapons, partaking much of the same nature as the thread- or stinging-cells of sea-anemones. Among other noteworthy structures, the slipper-animalcule.
