Extract

In the course of investigations on the Gregarines of Cirratulus (Audouinia) tentaculatus Mont., I have frequently noticed a large astomatous ciliate in the intestine. This appears to be Anoplophrya brasili described by Léger and Duboscq in 1904. One or two points, however, have led me to make a closer study of this organism, and I have come to the conclusion that it should be removed from the genus Anoplophrya.
