Abstract

ABSTRACT For many months we have been collecting material of the protozoan fauna of the gut of Lithobius forficatus. Our object was to study the Golgi apparatus, if such were present, and to examine also the behaviour of the mitochondria. We chose the form Adelea because we believed that its lifehistory was well known, and that there would be no special difficulty in identifying the stages. In this we have been disappointed—we found that Siedlecki and other workers have left the matter in a confused state : we have been obliged to spend many months trying to piece together the various parts of the life-history : at present we are not sure of any of the stages except those described in this paper.
