Sometimes biciliated minute cells are found; without any doubt they are zoospores derived from any algoid or fungoid species.

SYMBIOSIS, sim-bi-[=o]'sis, _n._ a term introduced by De Bary to denote certain kinds of physiological partnership between organisms of different kinds--best restricted to such intimate and complementary partnerships as exist between algoid and fungoid elements in lichens, or between unicellular Algæ; and Radiolarians.--_n._ SYM'BION, an organism living in such a state.--_adj._ SYMBIOT'IC.--_adv._ SYMBIOT'ICALLY.

Thus, so far as we know, plant life on the land began possibly with certain large trees of algoid structures, and more certainly with the club mosses and pillworts and their allies, and these last in the form of species not tree-like in dimensions, but of very moderate size.

Another feature of the progress of our knowledge of disease--as a scientific problem--is the recent recognition that minute animal parasites of that low degree of unicellular structure to which the name ‘Protozoa’ is given, are the causes of serious and ravaging diseases, and that the minute algoid plants, the bacteria, are not alone in possession of this field of activity.

Upon these algoid rafts the Aleutes often surprise them sporting one with the other, for they are said to be very playful, and one old hunter told the writer that he had watched a sea-otter for half an hour as it lay upon its back in the rollers and tossed a bit of sea-weed up into the air from paw to paw, apparently taking great delight in catching it before it fell into the water.
