Length 44, breadth 38, orif. (S/x. Lismore (.327). 



This species recalls P*-. com2)ressa ►Schultze, but tlie test is 

 smaller and nut compressed. Fs. /ascicnlar'is Penard, I have 

 noted here once. 



Genus Diaphoropodon Archer. 



DiAPHOROPODON PYRIFORME, n.Sp. (PL XXxix., f.l 1 ). 



Test membranous, flexible, dark smoky colour, with small 

 grains here and there. Varying in shape, but generally to some 

 extent pyriform. It seems to have an orifice like the opening of 

 a purse, capable of being drawn together. Pseudopodia filofee. 



Length 67-82, breadth 53-59/x. Lismore (339). 



There were plenty in this sample, and all alive, but the indis- 

 tinct, membranous test, and the plasma with which it was filled, 

 made it very difiicult to get any definite observations. 



Genus Frenzelina Penard. 

 Frenzelina globosa, n.sp. 



Body globose, throwing out long, filose pseudopodia fr(jni a 

 slight, central protuberance. Test ap- 

 parently chitinous, covered to a varying 

 thickness with fine floccose and minute 

 flint-grains, transparent, however, and 

 permitting a view of the creature within; 

 close-fitting all round, but with a slight 

 space between it and the body. Body- 

 plasma very refractive, a small nucleus at 

 the back. 



Diam. 21-25, height 17-19; body 15-17

 from a waterhole, alive, in company with ( x 800). 



Dlplophrys Archeri Barker, and others. I have a single record 

 of what looks like an empty test of Amphiti'erna Jlavum (Arch.) 

 Penard, also from Lismore.
