Updated: May 25, 2025

These bodies were first so called by Huxley in his description of Thallassicolla, and are small bodies of distinctly cellular nature, with a cell wall, well defined nucleus, and protoplasmic contents saturated by a yellow pigment. They multiply rapidly by transverse division, and are present in almost all Radiolarians, but in very variable number.
