The classification has been attributed to Müller (1786). Ward and Whipple, ''Fresh-water Biology''. Cited by Howey. The protist usually has two macronuclei and a single micronucleus. Its entire cell body is covered with cilia arranged in spirals. It has two contractile vacuoles, one at each end of the body. It contains small birefringent crystals. ''Lacrymaria ...
