One species of Carteria occurssymbiotically in the marine Planarian worm Convoluta roscoffensis (Keeble & Gamble, 07); this species is also of interest onaccount of the very few marine species of the Volvo-cacea> which are known to exist. An interestinggenus is Scherffelia Pascher (12), in which the cellis compressed, so that in cross-section it has some-what the appearance of a thin biconvex lens. Thereare two plate-like chloroplasts, sometimes unitedposteriorly in Scherffelia Phacus, and no pyrenoid ispresent. In Sch. Phacus the cell-wall is laterallyexpanded into the rudiments of wings such as aremore prominently developed in Pteromonas. Tetrablepharis (fig. 102 G) is a colourless genuswhich is probably a degenerate derivative of Carteria,having assumed a saprophytic mode of existenc
