ably flattened ; peristome-field excavate, extending obliquely back-wards from the frontal border, widest anteriorly, the oral aperture situatedin the posterior and narrowest confines of this region, frequently followedby a well-developed pharyngeal passage; larger adoral cilia developed in astraight or oblique line on the left-hand margin of the peristome only,not encircling the mouth in a spiral manner; anal aperture posteriorlysituated ; no undulating membrane. Genus I. BURSARIA, Mliller. Animalcules free-swimming, broadly ovate, somewhat flattened on oneside, anteriorly truncate; peristome-field pocket-shaped, deeply excavate,situated obliquely on the anterior half of the body, having a broad oral fossain front, and a cleft-like lateral fissure, which extends from the left corner CILIA TA-HETEROTRICHA. 575 < ut—I p^ HO P^WH W < <:I—I u o wO Q - N ro i- lAvd ri ■s

Inhabiting fresh water. By writers previous to the time of Stein and Claparbde and Lachmann thegenus Bursaria has been made to include a vast number of widely diverse infusorialfomis, now distributed, with one or two exceptions, among the genera Plagiotoma,Nydotherus, Leucophrys, Ophryogle?ia, Balantidium, Pammcecmm, and Opalina. _ Itthus happens that out of a score or more of animalcules associated with the titleof Bursaria by Ehrenberg, and included in Pritchards Infusoria, one speciesonl
