NOV 20 These forms were discovered by Dr. F. M. McFarland in the respiratory tree of Holothuria californica Stimp., at Pacific Grove, California, in the summer of 1893. In June, 1898, the working out of their structure and general biology was assigned to the author of this'paper as a problem in cytology. The number of new and interesting points which came out in the course of the study seems to warrant the present publication. The work on which the paper is based was done in the Hopkins Seaside Laboratory at Pacific Grove, and in the Histological Laboratory of Leland Stanford Junior University, between June 1, 1898, and January 1, 1900, under the direction of Dr. McFarland, to whose suggestions and cooperation is to be credited whatever of value the paper may contain.
