As the ameba moved forward. Figure 27. A part of an Amoeba proteus illustrating what is perhaps the most characteristic quality of the surface layer of amebas, its fluid nature. Three particles, a, b, c, were moving forward along an actively growing pseudopod. In stage 2, particles b and c had arrived nearly at the tip of the pseudopod. A pseudopod was then thrown out on the right, which resulted in the movement of a in the same direction, while b and c remained nearly stationary. Later on this pseudopod was retracted, b and c were drawn back toward the main body of the ameba while c re- mained behind, moving only very slowly. Thus the relative positions of these particles was completely changed. the particle c gained slightly on a and b for no ascertainable reason, unless it was on account of the projection of the large pseudopod on the opposite side. At stage 2 a new pseudopod was started on the right, which at stage 3 had grown to large size.
