336 THE JOUKNAL OF INDIAN BOTANY.
Certain very small animals were observed to live on some mem-
bers of this group. The most interesting among them -was a Chiro-
nomus larva (a kind of " blood-worm"), which fed very largely on Pan-
dorina colonies and at the same time made a case to live in out of
these colonies by fastening a large number of them together by means
of a silk-like secretion from its salivary glands.
