Genus III. — Myxodictyum, llaeckcl . 1 
(See p. 131, above.) 
Generic character . — Several simple shapeless protoplasm- 
bodies, (without the formation of vacuoles,) which protrude 
ramifying and anastomosing pseudopods, and link themselves 
by these anastomoses into a net. (Reproduction probably 
proceeds by division, and by the detachment of the single 
individuals, which then form new colonies ?) 
Species. — Myxodictyum sociale, Haeckel. 
Sec Plate X, figs. 31—33. 
Protoplasm-body in the only observed specimen, forming 
a flat broadened-out sarcode-nct of 0 - 35mm. diameter, com- 
posed of seventeen individual Moners, actinophrys-like bodies 
of 0 04 mm. diameter. 
Locality . — Bay of Algesiras in the Straits of Gibraltar, 
1867. 
Second division of the Monera. 
Lepomonera. 
Monera with a resting condition, and with formation of a 
covering. 
The freely moving condition of the Moner is interrupted 
by a resting condition, with the development of a covering. 
Genus IV. — Protomoxas, Haeckel. 4 
‘ Generelle Morphologie,’ vol. ii, p. xxiii. 
Generic character . — A simple shapeless protoplasm-body 
(without the formation of vacuoles), which protrudes simple or 
ramifying pseudopods. Reproduction by zoospores, which 
combine into plasmodia. 
Species. — Protornonus atnyli, Haeckel. 
(Monas amyli, Cienkowski.) 
‘ Archiv fur Mikrosk. Anat.,’ vol. i, p. 165, pi. xii, figs. 
1—5. 
Protoplasm-body, a plasmodium which arises from the 
1 hvZocuctvov, slime-net. 
5 npurofiovag, first beginning.
