โฆ Synopsis
The movement of slime-mold amoebae under isotropic conditions in two dimensions is represented as a Correlated Walk with straight steps of variable length. The steps are correlated via the angle theta turned through from step to step. The hypotheses and predictions of the model compare favourably with experimental data for Dictyostelium discoideum amoebae.

## Abstract The effects of lanthanum ions upon amoeboid movement and upon the redistribution of dense cytoplasmic inclusions following centrifugation were investigated in __Amoeba discoides__. Treatment with low lanthanum concentrations produced a characteristic inhibited condition in which locomot
