PELOMYXA CAROLINENSIS (WILSON) OR CHAOS CHAOS (LINNAEUS)?

NOLAN E. RICE 1

1 Carolina Biological Supply Company, Elon College, North Carolina

1. Since it is impossible to ascertain the exact structure of Roesel's "der kleine Proteus" from his description and figures, it is impossible to identify this organism.

2. P. carolinensis (W.) and A. proteus (L.) differ in characters of such importance that they must be considered members of different genera.

3. The valid scientific name of Wilson's organism is Pelomyxa carolinensis Wilson because he discovered, accurately described, and properly named it.
