Abstract
Peritrichs (Urceolaridæ) living on the surface of flatworms seem to afford suitable material for a study of the population dynamics of the epizoic habit. The host is widespread, occurs in large numbers, and the smooth surface enables rapid estimation of the numbers of the epizoite. A technique has been developed whereby some twenty flatworms can be dealt with in an hour.
