Trichodina labrisomi n.sp. from the gills of the hairy blenny, Labrisomas nuchipinnis (Quoy and Gaimard), in Mangrove Lake, Bermuda, is described using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Light microscopy reveals that the dimensions and morphology of T. labrisomi are similar to those given for only 13 previously described species of Trichodina (T. acuta Lom, 1961; T. baicalensis Dogiel, 1957; T. cottomephori Stein, 1979; T. dalli Zhukov, 1964; Trichodina domerguei domerguei Lom and Shtein 1966; T. elegans Stein, 1979; T. fultoni Davis, 1947; T. jadranica Haider, 1964; T. jadranica noblei Lom, 1970; T. partidisci Haider, 1964; T. reticulata Hirschmann et Partsch, 1955; T. tenuidens Faure-Fremiet, 1943; and T. tenuiformis Stein, 1979). However, compared with these similar forms, T. labrisomi n.sp. is distinguished by the dimensions of its body and denticulate ring and (or) the appearance of its silver-impregnated adhesive disc and denticles. Features of T. labrisomi examined by SEM include the body shape, pellicle, aboral pellicular pores, border membrane, aboral ciliary complex, and adoral ciliature, which are described and compared with those of other trichodinids studied using SEM. SEM also revealed that bacilli were distributed circumequatorially over the oral surface of T. labrisomi.

The structure of the normal human stapes was studied with the scanning electron microscope. Specimens were obtained 48 hours after death from adult human temporal bones free from obvious inflammatory disease. The specimens were fixed, dissected, critical-point dried and coated with gold. In this scanning electron microscopic study an attempt has been made to systematically demonstrate the average scanning electron microscopic features of various areas of the normal human stapes. An emphasis has been placed upon demonstrating as clearly as possible the details previously unclear or unrecognized and duplication of many excellent earlier light and electron microscopic studies has not been attempted. The typical appearance of the stapes head, neck, arch, crura and footplate has been presented. It is apparent that there exists a high degree of structural specialization particularly in the stapes arch and footplate area.
