Abstract
THE purpose of this communication is to describe an interesting property of the macronucleus of a species of Spirostomum, a large freshwater ciliate. The nuclear apparatus of this animal consists of a long cylindrical macronucleus and a number of small micronuclei. The cytology of this species has been described by Seshachar and Padmavathi1. Feulgen preparations show a number of granules of varying sizes in the macronucleus embedded in a more homogeneous matrix.
