Abstract

ABSTRACT (With Plate XXIII.) I Include under the division Gymnomyxa all those Protozoa or Homoblastic animals which expose, in a naked state, to the medium in which they live, the living protoplasm of their body-substance, in the form of those lobose, filamentous, or reticulate processes known as pseadopodia. The group is the complement of the Corticata, in which a permanent differentiation of the surface of the body-substance has been effected, necessitating either parasitic nutrition (Gregarinæ) or the specialization of an ingestive orifice (the Ciliate, Flagellate, and Suctorial Infusoria). The Gymnomyxa thus include, together with the Radiolaria and others, all those forms known as Rhizopoda, whether provided with nucleus or devoid of that structure.
