Test ellipsoidal, dark brown in colour, flattened or 
concave on the ventral or buccal face, composed of a 
thin covering of small silicious grains and plates 
cemented upon a brown chitinous pellicle; aperture 
long, arcuate, narrow, with the inner lip prolonged 
and incurved, the outer lip usually furnished with a 
row of pores; plasma clear, limpid, containing 
numerous minute granules, pale-coloured grains, and 
food-particles of a vegetable nature; nucleus single, 
spherical, granular, containing a large central nucleole; 
contractile vesicle probably absent, being replaced by 
one or more vacuoles; pseudopodia numerous, digitate, 
simple or lobed, sometimes spatulate. 
Greater diameter 120-250 pw, but in the British Isles 
usually 140-180 1; length of aperture equal to about 
half the greater diameter_of the test; pores on outer 
lip 2-3 w in diameter. 
Habitat.—Mosses and sphagnum. 
Encnanp.—N. and W. Yorkshire; Cambridgeshire ; 
Oxfordshire; Devonshire; Cornwall. 
Watzs.—North Wales. 
Scortanp.—Dumifries ; ? loc. (Murray). 
Iretanp.—Clare Island, Mayo. 
Owing to the dark colour and opacity of the test, 
the plasma cannot be seen in a living state, and active 
individuals have only been observed by Penard, who
