Abstract
YOUR readers will be interested to hear that I have found here in Pontresina the very interesting Protozoon described twelve years ago, in the Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science, by Mr. Archer, of Dublin, under the name Chlamydomyxa. Mr. Archer obtained his specimens crawling upon, and into, the tissues of the bog-moss (Sphagnum) in moor-pools in Westmeath (so far as I recollect). He often found it in a spherical condition, encysted in a cellulose envelope, and more rarely expanding into a most curious network of fine protoplasmic threads, upon which were observed very numerous oblong corpuscles, which slowly travelled along the threads, thus recalling the structure of Labyrinthula described by Cienkowski.
