inadequately described an Amoeba hercules which fairly closely resembles the adequately identified Amoeba kerri M. TAYLOR, 1947. Another distinct species in the group is Amoeba lescherae M. TAYLOR & C. HAYES, 1944. WARREN (1949) and SCHAEFFER (1958) suggest that there are others. Some older described 'species' which are probably of the 'proteus' group, but which are poorly characterized and cannot be specifically identified are Amoeba communis (P. M. DUNCAN, 1877), Amoeba princeps (F. DUJARDIN, 1841), Amoeba princeps (C. G. EHRENBERG, 1838), Proteus diffluens ( O. F. MLrLLER, 1786), and Amoeba crystallus (A. GRUBER, 1885). SCHAEFFER (1926) set up separate genera for the two species he had distinguished from Amoeba proteus, designating one as Metachaos discoides (A. A.
