Fig. 2. — A myxomycete or slime mold [Ffdigo septica) in the 

 Plasmodium stage; a mass of protoplasm without cell wall. 



This Plasmodium grew on moist decaying wood in a glass jar and was 

 photographed after it had "crawled up" the inner surface of the jar in the 

 manner of the microscopic animal Amoeba. Its color was bright orange.
