โฆ Synopsis
I n a recent publication by Taylor ( '23), dealing with the sol-gel reversibility of protoplasm as typified in the behavior of the contractile vacuole of Euplotes, as well as in a paper by the author, in this same issue, on the contractile vacuole as an excretory organ, the literature on the structure and probable function of this organelle has been amply reviewed. The present account will, therefore, be limited to a brief presentation of certain observations on the contractile vacuoles of Amoeba verrucosa and Paramecium caudatum, made possible largely through the use of the Chambers micromanipulator and the application of vital stains.l CONTRACTILE VACUOLE I N AMOEBA VERRUCOSA

## Abstract Each contractile vacuole system of Paramecium multimicronucleata is made up of a number of components, some temporary and others permanent. The contracting vacuole with its membrane is a temporary structure as are the vesicles which fuse to form it. The vacuole discharges its contents t
It was the verdict of Maupas ('88) that among the Protozoa no morphological or physiological diff erences arise in the products of a given fission or in the continuous generations derived therefrom. Many differences may be found between races or lines of the same species, but within the single race,
Numerous estimates of the pH of living cytoplasm and of its inclusion bodies have appeared in the literature of the last few years. A concise summary of the widely varied methods employed for these determinations and of the divergent results obtained has recently been made by Chambers(1). He conclud
