The Biological Bulletin, 1946
1. It is concluded that the giant amoeba described by Wilson (1900) is not a Pelomyxa but belongs to the genus Amoeba and should be designated A. carolinensis. Chaos chaos is considered to be invalid as a name, owing to the fact that it is based on Roesel's inadequate description.2. Nutritional studies indicate that A.
