Abstract
WE have already given a preliminary account of a new amoering ; “ which we called Amoering oeba lescheri1. In a subsequent communication2 we pointed out that, contrary to our first statement, the division of the nucleus was mitotic. Dr. Margaret Jepps has kindly informed us that, according to the rules of nomenclature3, the specific name should be lescheroe, since the amoeba was named to honour the memory of Mary Adela Lescher, the foundress of the College of Notre Dame in Glasgow. It is proposed to use this corrected form, Amoeba lescheroe, in the full and corrected description of the morphology, cytology and life-history which will shortly appear in the Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science.
