Extract

While studying some of the ciliates found in the region of the Marine Biological Laboratory at Plymouth, England, from January to May, 1929, the author collected from Chelson Meadow a hypotrich which undergoes binary fission only during encystment. This interesting behaviour, which appears to be rare among the Hypotrichida, led to a study of the morphology of the free-swimming form; preliminary to further investigations, including a study of both protective and reproductive cysts.
