Abstract
Of the relation of amœboid movement to other forms of contractility, very little is known at present. Hypotheses have been advanced to explain the movement, but they differ widely among themselves, and are founded almost entirely on direct observations of the normal activities of amœba. More recently Loeb (24) (25) and others have tried to determine therôleof various environmental factors, such as the presence of certain salts, in amœboid activity. It is on these lines that the present work is being conducted.
