J. A. Kitching. It is likely that the expansion of the surface oiDiscophrya during feeding 

 is secondary to the expansion of the pellicle. It is however interesting that on release 

 of Amoeba from high hydrostatic pressure there is an aggregation of the granular 

 cytoplasm to the centre, and an extrusion of clear liquid beneath the plasmalemma, 

 to give an appearance very like that described by you (Goldacre, 1952, Symp. Soc. 

 exp. Biol. 6, 128-165), for amoebae treated with anaesthetics.
