About this book
Marine Protozoa from Woods Hole is a book by Gary N. Calkins. The book is taken from the Bulletin of the United States Fish Commission, 1901. Under Genus AMŒBA, the book says the pseudopodia are lobose, sometimes absent, the body then progressing by a flowing movement. Amœba guttala Duj. is described as a minute form without pseudopodial processes, extremely hyaline in appearance, and characterized by rapid flowing in one direction.
A species description says the macronucleus is central, spherical in form, and bears a single minute micronucleus. The book says a marine variety is much smaller than the fresh-water form, and the writer believes it perfectly safe to describe this as Colpidium colpoda. A bibliography of authors and works includes "Report on the Foraminifera dredged by H. M. S. Challenger during the years 1873-1876".
