1. The translational and turning movements of the spore of Blastocladiella emersonii are described.

2. The turning movement appears to be a direct result of asymmetric flagellar activity.

3. The results indicate that co-ordination of propagated waves may not be exclusively effected by a system which involves the mechanical properties of the flagellum but also by stimuli derived from another source.
