Sentences with DINOFLAGELLATES (5)
After Butschli, _Polykrikos_.] The affinities of the Dinoflagellata are certainly with those Cryptomonadine Flagellates which possess two unequal flagella; the zoospores or young of the Cystoflagellates are practically colourless Dinoflagellates.
The former are various species of dinoflagellates or cystoflagellates such as _Noctiluca_ (just visible to the naked eye) which collect at the surface of the sea and often increase in such numbers that the water is colored by day (usually pink or red) and shines like a sheet of fire when disturbed at night.
Among animals the best known forms are the dinoflagellates; _Noctiluca_; hydroids; jelly-fish; ctenophores; sea pens; _Chætopterus_ and other marine worms; earthworms; brittle stars; various crustaceans; myriapods; fireflies and glowworms, the larvæ of fireflies; _Pholas dactylus_ and _Phyllirrhoë bucephala_, both molluscs; squid; _Pyrosoma_, a colonial ascidian; and fishes.
