Most Lobosa occur in fresh water; A. terricola in moist earth. There are also parasites like A. coli, rare in colder climates, frequently observed in the tropics. According to recent researches two forms have been included under the name A. coli, one innocuous, Entamceba coli, and another (possibly several) pathogenic forms, inchiding E. Iiistolytica, which appears in enormous numbers in abscesses of the liver and ulcers of the colon of men ill with tropical dysentery For the first of these it is certain, for the other probable, that infection is caused by encysted forms, which arise as a consequence of fertilization and are passed out with the Fig. 120.—Amccha polypodia in division (after F.

The Heliozoa owe their name to the shape of the body, with the pseudopodia arranged like rays. In each pseudopodium is a firm axial thread, forming a.
