Extract

The marine Amoebida have not been investigated nearly as extensively as freshwater and soil species of that order. In North America, where they have received the most attention, they have been studied most by Schaeffer (1926), with more recent work by Bovee (e.g. 1956), Sawyer (1968, 1971a, 1911b, 1974a, 1974b, papers in preparation), and Page (1970, 1971a, 1971b, 1972a). Grell (1961, 1966) and Grell and Benwitz (1970, 1971a, 1971b) have investigated some interesting amoebae from European and African marine habitats. Droop (1962) described a new species of amoebo-flagellate (Amoebida, Vahlkampfiidae) from brackish water in Scotland, but otherwise there is little literature on British marine Amoebida. Some recent work on the British fauna was reported by Page (1972b, 1973, 1974).
