THE PROTEOMYXA 



(III.) Didyomyxa, Monticelli, is like the preceding genus, but with 

 colourless pseudopodia. On Chaetomorplia crassa at Naples. 



Boderia, Wright (Fig. 9), is marine, orange or brown in colour, with 

 a membranous investment (?), from openings in which protrude three to 

 four long branching pseudopodia. The nucleus or nuclei after a time 



disappear, and the protoplasm spreads out in ragged masses on the slides. 

 A number of naviculoid bodies are formed, from each of which a small 

 amoebula emerges in a few days. Marine. 1-4 mm.

 affinities seem to be with the Mycetozoa. No plasmodium-formation has 

 been found in Aphelidium, Colpodella, Pseudosporidium, and Pseudamphi-
