Foraminifera are amoeba-like, single-celled protists (very simple micro-organisms). They have been called ‘armoured amoebae’ because they secrete a tiny shell (or ‘test’) usually between about a half and one millimetre long. They get their name from the foramen, an opening or tube that interconnects all the chambers of the test. Fossilised tests are found in sediments as old as the earliest Cambrian (about 545 million years ago) and

Of particular importance for tlie understanding of the behavior of organisms are those reactions which determine the direction of locomo- tion. Experiments show that the stimuli to such reactions must, in a slow-moving organism like Amoeba, affect only one side of the body, or at least affect different parts of the body differently. Owing to the minute size of Amoeba, it is dithcult to apply stimuli in such a

Vorticella—Magnified. of this genus are very common in infusions. They are oval in form, with a minute slit or depression at one side, which is the mouth. The surface is covered with vibratile ciUa, by the motion of which the animals can swim rapidly. Within the ciliated cuticle is a cortical layer of dense sarcode, with the pulsating vesicles, and the interior is occupied with soft sarcode like that of an Amoeba, in which may be
