80 BRITISH FRESHWATEE RHIZOPODA. 



Three different arrangements of these " perfora- 

 tions " as found in tests from several localities are 

 illustrated in figs. 146 and 147 ; the pattern of fig. 5, 

 PI. XLVI, has a superficial resemblance to the 

 arrangement of the bars on tests of Arcella vulgaris 

 which are in three sets of parallel lines disposed at 

 angles of 60° apart. 



The nucleus is large, granular, and contains a small 

 number of bluish nucleoles surrounded by hyaline 

 rings. The presence in the plasma of foreign bodies, 

 perhaps urates and crystals of oxalate of lime, as in 

 other members of the genus, has been noticed above.
