The body is extremely elongate and ribbon-like, and this, combined with its wonderful power of extension and retraction, makes it one of the most curious and interesting of microscopic forms.
I noted that in addition to the elongate nucleus, the body striæ are much more apparent here and seem to sink into the cuticle, giving the periphery, especially at the collar region, a curious crenulated effect.
The nucleus is elongate and extends through the greater part of the posterior half.
The general structure is similar to that of Vorticella, but the individuals are elongate and occupy houses.
This is either a long slit extending from the anterior end well down the ventral surface, or the posterior part only of a ventral furrow remains open as a round or elongate mouth some distance from the anterior end.
The stomach is elongate and slender and narrowly rounded at the base.
Certain forms of this genus are liable to become compacted together in such a way as to constitute solid masses consisting of elongate vertical zooecia closely parallel to one another and sometimes agglutinated by means of a gummy substance.
They vary considerably in size and shape, many of them being asymmetrical and some elongate and sausage-shaped.
Kraepelin, from the island of Luzon, but the latter has a smooth and polished ectocyst devoid of annulations, and zooecia of a more elongate and regular form.
My Indian specimens come nearest to the form described by Potts as Meyenia robusta, but have rather more slender skeleton-spicules and more elongate gemmule-spicules.
Other forms go further and secrete a gummy substance that glues the upright zooecia together and forces them to elongate themselves without branching.
