11/5 observation

as with my last observation there are many more small round, photosynthetic volvox. there is also a number of additional vorticella im noticing since my last observation. vorticella have a double layer of cilia that they use to pull water and detritus past them while at the same time pulling smaller organisms right into their mouthes, here is a picture of one. pg.125 fig. 232
