. This paper examines the biology, morphology, and pathogenicity for mice of an amoeboflagellate isolated from human nasal mucosa. The biological and morphological relationships of this isolate with the amoebae (Lobosea) and the true slime molds (Eumycetoza) are discussed though the taxonomic affinities of the organism have not been determined.
