Notes
Four clonal strains of amoebae isolated from salt-water habitats of the Maine coast show the characteristic Nebenkorper or paranucleus of the genus Paramoeba Schaudinn, 1896, this being the first report of free-living members of that genus from North America. The isolates are identified as 2 species, P. pemaquidensis n. sp. and P. aestuarina n. sp. In form and mitotic pattern, these 2 species resemble members of the family Mayorellidae.
