Abstract
1. A method is described by which it is possible to estimate the numbers of active protozoa in a soil.2. The total number of protozoa is first found by a dilution method. A fresh portion of the soil is then treated with 2 per cent. HCl (sp. gr. 1·15) overnight. By this means all active forms are killed. A second count by the dilution method gives the number of cystic protozoa in the soil. From these results the number of active forms can be ascertained.
