 [Read 18tli April, 1912.] 



The Freshwater Bhizopoda of the States of New York and New Jersey have 

 received little attention since the publication of Leidy's work in 1879, and 

 I am not aware of any records from the State of Georgia. Since 1879 

 the number of described species of Rhizopoda has been more than doubled, 

 and an investigation at the present time of the localities in w^hich Leidy 

 worked cannot fail to give fruitful results. 



The records here given were obtained from gatherings made in the 

 autumn of 1911 from the following localities : — 



(1) Georgia. — Augusta, gathering of water-plants collected by D. K. 

 Dalgish, Sept. 30th. 



(2) New Jersey. — Lakehurst, gatherings from dry and submerged sphag- 

 num and from the Lake, Sept. 18th ; also dried sphagnum purchased from 

 New York florists, exact locality unknown. 



(3) New York District.— Mainland. Split Rock Lake, N.J., Sept. 9th ; 

 Boonton, N.J., Canal and River, Sept. 9th ; Yan Cortlandt and Bronx Parks, 

 N. York City, Sept. and Oct. 



(4) New York State. — Long Island, gathering from Good Ground per 

 R. Wendell Squires, Dec. 5th. Gathering made by myself, Dec. 16th to 19th, 

 at Good Ground, from Penney's Pond, Trout Pond, Old House Pond, and a 

 small pond at the head of Smith's Creek *. 



* Penney's Pond is about 3 miles N. of Good Ground ; Trout Poud is about o miles 

 N.W. of Good Ground on the Eiverhead Road ; Old House Pond is about 2 miles W. of 

 Penney's Pond. All these ponds are about one-eighlh of a mile in diameter.
