Abstract
WE have recently had the opportunity of examining an organism found living in close association with specimens of the colonial hydroid Cordylophora lacustris (Allman) in laboratory cultures which may throw light on a neglected group of rhizopods sometimes classed with, or as an appendage to, the Heliozoa. The organism is highly polymorphic and occurs in two amœboid phases, plus a ‘heliozoan’ phase, a flagellated phase, and an encysted phase.
