Abstract
THE common little amœba of stagnant waters appears to have no well-established scientific name. I have, to-day, received an elaborate paper, by S. O. Mast and P. L. Johnson, published in Archiv für Protistenkunde, 1931, intended to settle the matter. These authors give many apparently good reasons for thinking that the “Kleine Proteus” of Rösel (1755) was in fact a myxomycete. Hence the names applied by Linnæus and Pallas to this organism are not applicable to the amæba.
