SUMMARY Two species of laboratory‐reared nonbioluminescent dinoflagellates, Gymnodinium splendens (photo‐synthetic) and Crypthecodinium cohnii (hetero‐trophic), were observed to posses abundant quantities of randomly moving structures, which are contained in vacuoles. When viewed with the electron microscope, 2 shapes of regular, geometric particles, here termed particulate inclusions, were observed. The morphology of the particulate inclusions is described.
